CCBcollege (Love Endures)

[CCBCollege]

A quote from Dr. Charles A. Rice Book:

What is love, and who deserves it, but God; and yet, through forgiveness we should all come to know charity, for it is a gift; by way of, His sacrifice, mercy, and grace, which is love; and for this reason, we all deserve love because He gave it to us freely; but not without a price; and because of the price paid; Love endures.

 

[Van]

If a person receives a gift, they neither deserve it and therefore somehow earned it, turning the grace of God into a wage for works, nor are they necessarily undeserving of the love that prompted the gift. God deserves our love, we love Him because He first loved us, not the other way around.

If a person receives a gift, they neither deserve it and therefore somehow earned it, turning the grace of God into a wage for works, nor are they necessarily undeserving of the love that prompted the gift. God deserves our love, we love Him because He first loved us, not the other way around.

Yet in sin; what do we deserve? With no goodness of our own; neither through a deed that we offer even our faith; do we deserve this great love; but humbly can we except the offering of His forgiveness which is Love; and the love that I can offer seems so not enough; and so, it is difficult to consider that, “because He first love me” in that, after all much more does He do, after all I have done. I did not know Him before the “because He first loved me.” I came to know of His love much later.

The love He gave is a Grate Love, but the love I offer is a good love, but that, the Greatest Love of All is His enduring love (over and over again&#8230, starting before ever, and that, continues forever and ever; or (endures).

I appreciate and respect your comment; Thank You.
