Text: Ephesians 3: 14 - 19
Everyone is created by God for a purpose, that is to love God and be loved by Him. If we live without this blessed knowledge, our lives would be without a sense of purpose and hope. God has done everything in His power to reveal to us about Himself. God desires each person to know Him and His love, and then we would be able to respond to Him in worship and devotion.
The Bible tells us that God loves us, and He proved this by dying for us on the cross. God’s love has become an intellectual truth for many believers, rather than an experiential one.
1. God’s love is personal. Christianity is different from other religions because our God desires a personal relationship with every man, woman, and child. His love and care do not just limit to one particular group. He loves every individual specifically and wants to establish a regular, intimate relationship with each one.
2. God’s love is unconditional. God is love (1 John 4:8). It is who He is and not simply something He does. God’s divine love is based on His character, not on our performance. Nothing about our character or behaviour can make Him love us less or more. God is eternal and infinite and therefore His love is also eternal and everlasting.
3. God’s love is available to everyone. His love is inexhaustible and immeasurable. His love is wider than the ocean and higher than the heaven above. He loves every sinner (John 3:16) and he does not have favourites but intimates. We can be His intimates by spending time with Him, talking and listening, walking in obedience, and desiring to know Him and loving Him with all our heart. This is the kind of relationship that the Lord desires to have with each of us.
We must learn to experience God’s great love in a personal and intimate way. Our heavenly Father doesn’t just say He loves us, but He proved this by giving His only begotten Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Do not let the devil deceive us and the trials of life hinder us from experiencing the divine love of God. When doubts arise, cling on God’s Word and trust Him that He loves you ever more. Trust and believe in His love, and eventually you will feel i
