God's Everlasting Love

One of the most profound truths that I have known is the fact that God loves me with an everlasting love. His love never fails because God never fails. His love is not passive, but able to help us in our time of need. Romans 5:8 declares “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Love was what motivated Jesus to give His life for us. He invites us to call on Him and receive whatever help we may need.

Many people have a hard time receiving God’s love because of a wrong picture of God. They think God is holding our sins against us, yet the scripture says “God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them” (2 Cor. 5:19). God is not our problem, He is the answer to our problem, and that answer is found in Jesus Christ. God loved us enough to send His only Son to die for our sins on Calvary so that we might have eternal life. Our part is to receive God’s love, mercy and forgiveness by faith, regardless of whether or not we “feel” His love on a given day.

Romans 8 speaks of God’s great love. If God be for us, who can be against us? Can anything separate us from the love of God? Can tribulation or problems, can persecution or distress, can famine or lack, can peril or sword? The obvious answer is that nothing can separate us from God’s love. Not even the devil or any evil can separate us from God’s love. The only thing that can separate you from God’s love is you. You have the choice to receive or reject God’s love. Receive God’s love today, by faith.
