Love, Love, and More Love

No matter how much “great revelation” we obtain, Love will always be the foundation of the Gospel. The root of the good news is simply, God Loves you! He Loves you with intense and everlasting love. He has always Loved you and always will. He Loves you so much He sent His only Son to die for you. And because He Loves you He has forgiven you and is not holding your sins against you. He has given you the invitation and the privilege to receive Jesus as Lord and to become one of His very own children. And as such, makes you His own heir and gives you full benefits as a member of His own household. Because He Loves you He has already blessed you with every spiritual blessing, the greatest of which is His very own Divine Love. He will continue to saturate every part of your life with His Love if you will only continue to receive it. And receive it you must, so you can trust, and truly Love Him with all your heart, soul, strength and mind. Be filled with His Love, be in Love with Him and be empowered to Love others also. Love is the greatest gift which gives you the greatest responsibility because it is the greatest commandment. And when you understand His Love you will walk in the light and be filled with His might to do what’s right and fight the good fight. “Love never fails!”

So when you get a chance take a glance; ponder and remember that the Creator is much greater than the creation and His Love for you is greater than all!

Isa 54:9-10
10 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.
NIV

Jer 31:3, 10-14
3 The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying:
"Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
… 10 "Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
And declare it in the isles afar off, and say,
'He who scattered Israel will gather him,
And keep him as a shepherd does his flock.'
11 For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion,
Streaming to the goodness of the Lord —
For wheat and new wine and oil,
For the young of the flock and the herd;
Their souls shall be like a well-watered garden,
And they shall sorrow no more at all.

13 "Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance,
And the young men and the old, together;
For I will turn their mourning to joy,
Will comfort them,
And make them rejoice rather than sorrow.
14 I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance,
And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the Lord."
NKJV

Rom 9:25-26
25 As He says also in Hosea:

"I will call them My people, who were not My people,
And her beloved, who was not beloved."
26 "And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them,
' You are not My people,'
There they shall be called sons of the living God."
NKJV

1 John 3:1
3 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
NIV

Jer 31:3
God told them, "I've never quit loving you and never will.
Expect love, love, and more love!
MES

Jer 31:3
3 Long ago the Lord said to Israel:
"I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love.
With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.
NLT

Jer 31:3
3 The Lord appeared to me in a faraway place and said,

"I love you with an everlasting love.
So I will continue to show you my kindness.
GOD'S WORD

Eph 2:4-7
4 But God — so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us,

5 Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved ( delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation).

6 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

7 He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus.
