LOVE from GOD

Lamentations 3:22-23

King James Version

22 It is of the Lord's mercies

that we are not consumed,

because his compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning:

great is thy faithfulness.

The Bible is a LOVE story.

Of how much GOD loves us.

Despite man's unfaithful nature.

Yes, GOD disciplines us, as needed.

But that love remains.

GOD is sure, steady, strong.

He is pure, perfect, and precise.

He is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient.

He doesn't change.

Whether you're a Jew,

Malachi 3:6

King James Version

6 For I am the Lord, I change not;

therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

or a Gentile:

Romans 11:19

King James Version

19 Thou wilt say then,

The branches were broken off,

that I might be grafted in.

GOD loves us all.

Romans 11:32

King James Version

32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief,

that he might have mercy upon all.

Scripture is full of GOD's boundless love.

Let's meditate upon these magnificent verses:

2 Chronicles 6:14

King James Version

14 And said,

O Lord God of Israel,

there is no God like thee in the heaven,

nor in the earth;

which keepest covenant,

and shewest mercy unto thy servants,

that walk before thee with all their hearts:

Psalm 5:12

King James Version

12 For thou, Lord,

wilt bless the righteous;

with favour wilt thou compass him

as with a shield.

King James Version

7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God!

therefore the children of men put their trust

under the shadow of thy wings.

King James Version

my lips shall praise thee.

Psalm 86:15

King James Version

15 But thou, O Lord,

art a God full of compassion,

and gracious,

long suffering,

and plenteous in mercy and truth.

Psalm 107:8-9

King James Version

8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,

and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

9 For he satisfieth the longing soul,

and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

Isaiah 54:10

King James Version

10 For the mountains shall depart,

and the hills be removed;

but my kindness shall not depart from thee,

neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed,

saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

Micah 7:18-19

King James Version

18 Who is a God like unto thee,

that pardoneth iniquity,

and passeth by the transgression

of the remnant of his heritage?

he retaineth not his anger for ever,

because he delighteth in mercy.

19 He will turn again,

he will have compassion upon us;

he will subdue our iniquities;

and thou wilt cast all their sins

into the depths of the sea.

Zephaniah 3:17

King James Version

17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;

he will save,

he will rejoice over thee with joy;

he will rest in his love,

he will joy over thee with singing.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 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.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world

to condemn the world;

but that the world through him

might be saved.

John 13:34-35

King James Version

34 A new commandment I give unto you,

That ye love one another; as I have loved you,

that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know

that ye are my disciples,

if ye have love one to another.

John 14:21

King James Version

21 He that hath my commandments,

and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me:

and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,

and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

John 15:9

King James Version

9 As the Father hath loved me,

so have I loved you:

continue ye in my love.

because ye have loved me,

and have believed that I came out from God.

Romans 5:5

King James Version

5 And hope maketh not ashamed;

because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts

by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Romans 8:31-32

King James Version

31 What shall we then say to these things?

If God be for us, who can be against us?

32 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?

Romans 8:35

King James Version

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,

or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Romans 8:38-39

King James Version

38 For I am persuaded,

that neither death, nor life, nor angels,

nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,

shall be able to separate us from the love of God,

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Galatians 2:20

King James Version

20 I am crucified with Christ:

nevertheless I live;

yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:

and the life which I now live in the flesh

I live by the faith of the Son of God,

who loved me,

and gave himself for me.

Ephesians 1:3-4

King James Version

3 Blessed be the God and Father

of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings

in heavenly places in Christ:

4 According as he hath chosen us in him

before the foundation of the world,

that we should be holy and without blame

before him in love:

Ephesians 2:4-5

King James Version

4 But God,

who is rich in mercy,

for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins,

hath quickened us together with Christ,

(by grace ye are saved;)

Ephesians 3:19

King James Version

19 And to know the love of Christ,

which passeth knowledge,

that ye might be filled

with all the fulness of God.

1 John 3:1

King James Version

3 Behold,

what manner of love

the Father hath bestowed upon us,

that we should be called the sons of God:

therefore the world knoweth us not,

because it knew him not.

1 John 4:8

King James Version

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God;

for God is love.

1 John 4:9-10

King James Version

9 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.

10 Herein is love,

not that we loved God,

but that he loved us,

and sent his Son

to be the propitiation for our sins.

Jude 21

King James Version

21 Keep yourselves in the love of God,

looking for the mercy

of our Lord Jesus Christ

unto eternal life.

GOD's love through JESUS

JESUS on believers:

John 16:27

King James Version

27 For the Father himself loveth you,

because ye have loved me,

and have believed that I came out from God.

Do you know how loved you are?

Whether Jew, or Gentile?

GOD loves us all.

And He showed His love, through JESUS, His SON.

SPIRIT and Scripture are witness:

John 1:10-13

King James Version

10 He was in the world,

and the world was made by him,

and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own,

and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him,

to them gave he power to become the sons of God,

even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born,

not of blood,

nor of the will of the flesh,

nor of the will of man,

but of God.

John 1:14

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh,

and dwelt among us,

(and we beheld his glory,

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)

full of grace and truth.

John 1:15-17

King James Version

15 John bare witness of him,

and cried, saying,

This was he of whom I spake,

He that cometh after me is preferred before me:

for he was before me.

16 And of his fulness have all we received,

and grace for grace.

17 For the law was given by Moses,

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 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.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world

to condemn the world;

but that the world through him

might be saved.

John 6:37-38

King James Version

and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

not to do mine own will,

but the will of him that sent me.

John 6:39-40

King James Version

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me,

that of all which he hath given me

I should lose nothing,

but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me,

that every one which seeth the Son,

and believeth on him,

may have everlasting life:

and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 14:1

King James Version

14 Let not your heart be troubled:

ye believe in God, believe also in me.

John 14:6-7

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him,

I am the way, the truth, and the life:

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me,

ye should have known my Father also:

and from henceforth ye know him,

and have seen him.

John 14:19-20

King James Version

19 Yet a little while,

and the world seeth me no more;

but ye see me:

because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know

that I am in my Father,

and ye in me, and I in you.

John 14:21

King James Version

and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me:

and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,

and I will love him,

and will manifest myself to him.

John 14:23

King James Version

23 Jesus answered and said unto him,

If a man love me, he will keep my words:

and my Father will love him,

and we will come unto him,

and make our abode with him.

ask, and ye shall receive,

that your joy may be full.

that they might know thee the only true God,

and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

John 17:22-23

King James Version

22 And the glory which thou gavest me

I have given them;

that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me,

that they may be made perfect in one;

and that the world may know

that thou hast sent me,

and hast loved them,

as thou hast loved me.

John 17:26

King James Version

and will declare it:

that the love wherewith thou hast loved me

may be in them, and I in them.

to seek and to save

that which was lost.

Romans 5:6

King James Version

6 For when we were yet without strength,

in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Romans 5:8

King James Version

8 But God commendeth his love toward us,

in that, while we were yet sinners,

Christ died for us.

Romans 5:9

King James Version

9 Much more then,

being now justified by his blood,

we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Romans 8:35-39

King James Version

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,

or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written,

For thy sake we are killed all the day long;

we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things

we are more than conquerors

through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded,

that neither death, nor life,

nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,

nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,

shall be able to separate us from the love of God,

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 2:1-2

King James Version

2 And you hath he quickened,

who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past

ye walked according to the course of this world,

according to the prince of the power of the air,

the spirit that now worketh

in the children of disobedience:

Ephesians 2:4-5

King James Version

4 But God, who is rich in mercy,

for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins,

hath quickened us together with Christ,

(by grace ye are saved;)

Ephesians 2:6-7

King James Version

6 And hath raised us up together,

and made us sit together in heavenly places

in Christ Jesus:

7 That in the ages to come

he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace

in his kindness toward us

through Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8-10

King James Version

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;

and that not of yourselves:

it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 For we are his workmanship,

created in Christ Jesus unto good works,

which God hath before ordained

that we should walk in them.

1 Timothy 1:14

King James Version

14 And the grace of our Lord

was exceeding abundant with faith and love

which is in Christ Jesus.

Titus 3:3-4

King James Version

3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish,

disobedient, deceived,

serving divers lusts and pleasures,

living in malice and envy,

hateful, and hating one another.

4 But after that

the kindness and love of God

our Saviour toward man appeared,

Titus 3:5-6

King James Version

5 Not by works of righteousness

which we have done,

but according to his mercy he saved us,

by the washing of regeneration,

and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

6 Which he shed on us abundantly

through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

Titus 3:7

King James Version

7 That being justified by his grace,

we should be made heirs

according to the hope of eternal life.

1 John 4:9-10

King James Version

9 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.

10 Herein is love,

not that we loved God,

but that he loved us,

and sent his Son

to be the propitiation for our sins.

GOD's love for GENTILES

Ephesians 2:11-12

King James Version

11 Wherefore remember,

that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh,

who are called Uncircumcision

by that which is called the Circumcision

in the flesh made by hands;

12 That at that time ye were without Christ,

being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel,

and strangers from the covenants of promise,

having no hope,

and without God in the world:

Who are Gentiles?

How much does GOD love non-Jews?

He loves us, enough to send His only beloved Son, JESUS, to the cross.

Scripture speaks of the SON's sacrifice, and love for man.

Apostle Paul tells us, through his Epistle to the Ephesians:

Ephesians 2:1

King James Version

2 And you hath he quickened,

who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Ephesians 2:2-3

King James Version

2 Wherein in time past

ye walked according to the course of this world,

according to the prince of the power of the air,

the spirit that now worketh

in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had

our conversation in times past

in the lusts of our flesh,

fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;

and were by nature the children of wrath,

even as others.

Ephesians 2:4-5

King James Version

4 But God,

who is rich in mercy,

for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins,

hath quickened us together with Christ,

(by grace ye are saved;)

Ephesians 2:6-7

King James Version

6 And hath raised us up together,

and made us sit together in heavenly places

in Christ Jesus:

7 That in the ages to come

he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace

in his kindness toward us

through Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8-10

King James Version

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;

and that not of yourselves:

it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works,

lest any man should boast.

10 For we are his workmanship,

created in Christ Jesus unto good works,

which God hath before ordained

that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:13-16

King James Version

13 But now in Christ Jesus

ye who sometimes were far off

are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace,

who hath made both one,

and hath broken down

the middle wall of partition between us;

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity,

even the law of commandments

contained in ordinances;

for to make in himself of twain one new man,

so making peace;

16 And that he might reconcile both unto God

in one body by the cross,

having slain the enmity thereby:

Ephesians 2:17-18

King James Version

17 And came and preached peace to you

which were afar off,

and to them that were nigh.

18 For through him we both have access

by one Spirit unto the Father.

Ephesians 2:19-22

King James Version

19 Now therefore

ye are no more strangers and foreigners,

but fellowcitizens with the saints,

and of the household of God;

20 And are built upon the foundation

of the apostles and prophets,

Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together

groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22 In whom ye also are builded together

for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
