God’s Perfect Love

There’s good news today!  You are important to God!  You are loved by God!

The greatest love story ever told is God’s unconditional love for us.  The Lord loved us so much that He sent His son to die in our place.

And walk in love, as Christ, also, has loved us and given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God.  (Ephesians 5:2)

Love is an essential part of God’s nature, for God is love. (1 John 4: 7-8)  Jesus is the personification of perfect love. (1 John 4:8, 16)  A love that surpasses our own understanding. (Ephesians 3:16)  A love that is everlasting. (Jeremiah 31:3)  A love that is free. (Hosea 14:4)  A love that is sacrificial. (John 3:16)  A love that is enduring until the end. (John 13:1)

We give thanks to God in heaven.  For the Lord’s love endures forever. (Psalm 136: 26)  “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” (Jeremiah 31:3)  The Lord our God is with us today.  The Lord our God takes great delight in us.  God will comfort us with his love.  God rejoices over us with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)  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. (John 3:16)

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)  As the Father has loved us, so we love you.  Now, Lord Jesus, remain in our love. (John 15:9)

Amen,

Pastor Mark
