Everlasting Love
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
All of us looking for answers to the problems surfacing in our world or in our life can take great comfort from these three words. Whatever may come – God still loves. Whatever may come our way the force and power of God unleashed at the resurrection of Jesus Christ is as powerful today as it has ever been.
Every day we are faced with various shockwaves of saddening news. The headlines aim to inform you but often leaves us feeling hopeless. Yet in spite of it all we have hope because of the perfect love of God. These four words whose force once unleashed established the kingdom of God on earth are these. . . “for God so loved“.
Fear not, Do not be moved or fall into fear. Perfect love will, by its very nature, overcome evil. Evil shall be defeated because it has no answer for the power of divine love that God has given the world through the sacrifice of His Son Christ Jesus.
Today rest in the promise of God because He said, “I have loved you with an everlasting love;” (Jeremiah 31:3).
Prayer for today: Father God, thank You for Your many promises in Scripture that You love us with an everlasting love. Help us to trust in that today and every day. Amen.
