GOD'S HOLY LOVE

 

GOD’S HOLY LOVE

Rom. 8:38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels can’t, and the demons can’t. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can’t keep God’s love away. NLT

First of all, are you convinced that nothing can separate you from the love of Christ for you? Do you know for a fact that Jesus can never stop loving you? It is impossible for God to stop loving you. He loves you no matter what. No matter how you treat Him or how little attention you may give to Him, He loves you. You can do nothing to keep God from loving you. Nothing.

Now, just because God loves you, it doesn’t mean that He will condone your lifestyle or how you respond to Him. God’s love does not negate His holiness. God loves you, but He will never overlook sin. He always will hold you responsible for sin in your life. You will have to answer to Him for your sin.

There are a lot of people today who deny the reality of God’s judgment on sin since God is love. They deny the reality of hell since a loving God would never send a soul to a godless place of eternal torment. What they fail to accept is that God’s love is balanced by His holiness. He does not send anyone to hell who has not chosen to go there. God extends His love to all and invites them to accept Him as their Savior and Lord, but most will not accept His offer of love. He loves them and longs for their fellowship, but will not force himself on anyone. All who will be in hell will be there because they chose to reject God’s offer of himself to them.

There is a huge difference between knowing about God’s love for us and knowing the love of God for us. Are you living in the overflow of God’s love? Do you know the wondrous truth that nothing in all of creation can stop the Lord from loving you?

Dear friend, I want you to know that God loves you. His love for you never stops or changes. He longs for you to live in the bountiful richness and fullness of His love.
