God's Great Love


“Behold what manner of love the Father

has bestowed on us, that we should be
called children of God!”
     1 John 3:1 (NKJV)

“For I am persuaded that neither death
nor life, nor angels nor principalities
nor powers, nor things present nor
things to come, nor height nor depth,
nor any other created thing, shall be
able to separate us from the love of
God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
     Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV)


Trust is the bedrock of faith.  But in order to trust God, we need to be convinced—really believe deep down in our hearts and know without doubting—that He loves us and wants the best for us. The greatest demonstration of His love is at Calvary.  Jesus Christ loved us so much that while we were yet sinners and enemies of God, He died for us so that we might be called children of God. 

We also learn of God’s love from His word.  The Bible is God’s love letter to us.  It is filled from cover to cover with truth about God’s love, and how He’s proven it over and over to His people.  That’s why we need to feed on Scripture every day. 

Does your faith seem weak?  Are you struggling to trust God in some difficult circumstances?  Are you holding back from stepping out in faith?  If so, you may need a greater understanding of or a fresh reminder of God’s love for you.

Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.  Having an assurance of God's great love will help you trust, obey and submit to Him in all things.
