God’s Everlasting Love

Romans 8:31-39 says, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, How shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Oh the love of God is something that we will never fully understand till we enter heaven. God has given Jesus so that we could know that nothing can ever separate us from the love of God. So we could know nothing can conquer the love of God. So that we could know that no sickness or even present pestilence can change the love of God, for God is love. He has loved us with an everlasting love, a love which “suffers long and is kind; a love that does not envy; a love that does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” The love of God never has failed, does not fail now and never will fail in the future.

(1 Corinthians 13:4-8) God’s everlasting love is a strong hold for us in a day where we are challenged by sickness, tribulation and unbelief that Jesus is alive. But I am thankful that God has, is and will keep calling men and women to know him through Jesus. This is the everlasting love of God. Jeremiah 31:3 says, “The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you.” Answer the love of God, God’s everlasting love will sustain you forever.
