God's Love

God describes love as patient, kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. It does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (S)

• Demanding: you must believe in Him and His love.
• Disciplines: teaches what is best for you.
• Eternal: lasts forever (S).
• Free: you can’t earn it.
• Forgiving: full of forgiveness, keeps no record of wrongs.
• Fulfilling: gives you everything you need to have the most fulfilling life possible.
• Gracious: unmerited, we are undeserving of God’s love.
• Infinite: unlimited, overflowing, it will never run out.
• Involved: it will be a part of your everyday life.
• Joyful: deep routed happiness.
• Personal: intended specifically for you.
• Positive: sees the best in you.
• Powerful: healing and transforming, it changes you for the better.
• Present: always with you.
• Sacrificial: sacrifices for you as God sacrificed His son.
• Saving: saves you from eternal death.
• Sovereign: since no one tells God what to do, he does as he pleases, and he chose to love you!
• Steadfast: unwavering, constant, unchanging, immutable.
• Unconditional: not subject to any conditions other than you must accept it and believe it.
• Unfathomable: not understood or comprehendible.

According to Christian author C.S. Lewis, there are four types of love found in the Bible. Each are Greek words that demonstrate a different aspect of love. God’s love is called Agape, or unconditional love, which is the highest form of the four. It is the kind of love that can only come from God and shows His immeasurable and incomprehensible love for us.

God’s magnificent love is available to every person on earth no matter if you are a Christian, attend church, or what you have done or believe! Some may not believe that but look at Saul’s story in the bible. He persecuted, threatened, hunted, bound, imprisoned, tortured, and even killed Christians. But God chose him, and Saul became Paul the apostle that spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the country!

Others think God only loves you when you are living the perfect “Godly” life. But that is not true … even when you make mistakes, He loves you and is patiently waiting on you to become realigned with His plan for you (2 Peter 3:9 NIV).

And most of all, God desires a personal relationship with you, one that allows you to know Him, and He knows you.  Through this relationship He will guide you and offer you peace, hope, and joy like you have never experienced, along with the promise of eternal life with Him in heaven.

God Loves You!

[4] But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, [5] made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 

Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him. 

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you. 

[38] For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, [39] neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
