God’s Love Is Special
“And as we
live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of
judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we are like Christ here in
this world.”
1 John
God’s love is a special love. Understanding
God’s love will affect your faith, your opinion of yourself, your
Read:
1 John 4:7-21
Agape love, firm fixed, settled, and established
a)
His steadfast love continues when we do not deserve it
God loves us even though we are sinners
b)
His steadfast love will go to any length
Jesus died as a penalty for our sins
c)
His love continues when we do not love ourselves
when we have made bad decisions and poor choices
d)
God’s steadfast love continues in difficult times
even though we may question ‘where is God ‘ ?
“Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and there are no grapes on the vine; even though the olive crop fails, and the
fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the
cattle barns are empty, 18.
yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation.
19. The Sovereign LORD is my
strength! He will make me as surefooted as a deer and bring me safely over the
mountains.”
Habakkuk
3:17-19
(NLT)
II.
v17-19 God’s Love is a Satisfying love :
the ultimate complete and total fulfillment of our need
v17)
boldness in the day of judgment
v18)
giving assurance in times of fear
v19)
there is nothing we can do to make Him love us more !
Being satisfied with a particular
product or your bowflex machine is not
real satisfaction as the
commercials tell us. Knowing that God loves you unconditionally is
true satisfaction as the Bible tells us !
