Love is the foundation upon which all biblical doctrines
rest. It is the cement that holds all other revelations together. How can we
trust our heavenly Father to save us,
provide for us, or heal us if we question the depth of His affection?
We may not feel His heart at times, but that doesn’t change
the truth. We should believe He is passionate toward us because He said so.
We love Him because He first loved us (1 John 4:19 NKJV).
We can’t love God first because there isn’t anything in us to love Him with
until we receive for ourselves the life He extends to us.
Herein is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent
His Son to be the propitiation for our sins (1 John 4:10). We
don’t deserve His mercy, but He gives it to us because of His grace.
God's love gives us more than we can ever count, but here are 3 benefits we can live out daily.
