AN UNDERSTANDING OF HIS LOVE
..that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me (John 17:23).
God loves you so much as He loves Jesus. Has this reality dawned on your spirit? When it does, it completely transform everything about your life. Years ago, when I discovered this verse, I shouted, cried, danced, and screamed for joy!
God’s love for us is beyond human description and imagination. In Romans 5:8, the Bible says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Your value to God is the price He paid for your salvation, which is the blood of Jesus Christ: “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not
redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold…But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (1 Peter 1:18-19).
This should help you further appreciate the infinite magnitude and boundless nature of His love. In Ephesians 3:17-18, the Holy Spirit,
through the Apostle Paul, prayed that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend the unfathomable dimensions of the Father’s love.
Furthermore, in Romans 8:32, the Apostle Paul raised a thought- provoking question as he reflected on God’s matchless love for us. He asked, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” In other words, why should anyone be sick, weak, poor, broke, depressed or live a down life, judging how much the Father loves us?
An understanding of our heavenly Father’s love will rid your life of fear, sickness and everything associated with Satan and darkness. Matthew’s account of what the Lord did as a demonstration of His love for the people lends credence to this. It says, “And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people” (Matthew 9:35). Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Ever-loving Father, thank you for the unfathomable and immeasurable love you’ve so lavished upon me. It’s such a delight to know that I’m special and valuable to you. I walk in the consciousness of your
unfailing love today, and I manifest and radiate your love to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Ephesians 3:17-19
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
1John 4:9-10
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
