THE LOVE OF GOD

Sermon



1 John 4:8; "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."

  God is love- An infinite fountain of benevolence and beneficence to every human being. He doesn't hate anything that He has made. He cannot hate, because He is love.

 He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends His rain on the just and the unjust. He has made no human being for perdition, nor ever rendered it impossible by any necessitating decree, for any fallen soul to find mercy. He has given the fullest proof of His love to the human race by the incarnation of His Son, who tasted death for every man.

How can a decree of absolute, unconditional reprobation, of the greater part, or any part of the human race stand in the presence of such a text as this? It has been well observed that, although God is holy, just, righteous, merciful, faithful, etc. He is never called holiness, justice, etc.in the abstract, as He is here called Love.

 This is the essence of the Divine Nature and all other attributes to be modifications of this. Let us feel that our interests, and our destiny are in the hands of God who is love.
 Glory Hallelujah!!!

Prayer:
Heavenly Father we pray to love You in all things. We pray we reach the joy which You have prepared for us in Heaven. Nothing is good that is against Your will and we know all that is good comes from Your hands. We pray we always have the desire to please You in our hearts Father. We pray You will fill our minds with thoughts of Your love that we may grow in Your wisdom and enjoy Your peace.
In Jesus Name.  Amen!!!
