God's Love

[FriendsFellowship]

Sometimes we get focused on our own needs instead of our relationship with Christ, and just how much He loves us!

During a time of struggling, it was suggested to me that I collect scripture relating to God's love for us so I could refer to it and meditate on it whenever I needed.

I thought that if we posted this scripture here, then any of us could refer to this thread when we need to be reminded; God truly loves us!

It would also be great to post our experiences and testimonies of God's love, or other devotionals.

I'll go first:

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 NIV

 

[SpeakLife329]

John 3:16 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

[faithopelove]

1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a]have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we[c] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

great idea!

Great thread

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sings. - 1 John 4:9-10

 

[TheAJKMan]

Heb 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Heb 11:2 For by it the people of old received their commendation.
Heb 11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

[JPPT1974]

Even if we don't think of it
God's love is there for us
In Big or Small things
He will be there for us
Because He loves us so much.

The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. - Psalm 145:8-9

Psalm 136

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.
who by his understanding made the heavens,
His love endures forever.
who spread out the earth upon the waters,
His love endures forever.
who made the great lights—
His love endures forever.
the sun to govern the day,
His love endures forever.
the moon and stars to govern the night;
His love endures forever.
to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt
His love endures forever.
and brought Israel out from among them
His love endures forever.
with a mighty hand and outstretched arm;
His love endures forever.
to him who divided the Red Sea asunder
His love endures forever.
and brought Israel through the midst of it,
His love endures forever.
but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea;
His love endures forever.
to him who led his people through the desert,
His love endures forever.
who struck down great kings,
His love endures forever.
and killed mighty kings—
His love endures forever.
Sihon king of the Amorites
His love endures forever.
and Og king of Bashan—
His love endures forever.
and gave their land as an inheritance,
His love endures forever.
an inheritance to his servant Israel;
His love endures forever.
to the One who remembered us in our low estate
His love endures forever.
and freed us from our enemies,
His love endures forever.
and who gives food to every creature.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of heaven.
His love endures forever.

I especially love the descriptions of the personality and the joy of God. Like this one:

Zephaniah 3:17
"The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing."

He sings! He rejoices over us! How gloriously descriptive is that? How can our hearts resist such a One Who joys in US? Our child-hearts respond...and perhaps that's how we're s'posed to be....child-like.......responding to our Abba's love for us.

Don'cha just love that verse?

Your kingdom is build on whats right and fair.
Love and truth are in all you do.


There is a Father who will hold me until I'm better,help me until I can live with the hurt,and who woun't go to sleep when I'm afraid of waking up nd seeing the dark.

Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Awesome idea for a thread, Marty.

1 John 3:16,

'This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.'

 

[EarthMomma]

Yes, this verse is beautiful!

Zephaniah 3:17 "The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing."

He sings! He rejoices over us! How gloriously descriptive is that? How can our hearts resist such a One Who joys in US? Our child-hearts respond...and perhaps that's how we're s'posed to be....child-like.......responding to our Abba's love for us.

Oh wow!!!! Thank you dear saints for posting these verses...

Love never fails;
1 Corinthians 13:8a​

[JPPT1974]

1 John 4:10:Herin is love, not that we
Loved God, but that he loved us, and
sent His Son, to be the propitiation
For our sins.

I agree Greenthumb, lovely idea.

Awesome idea for a thread, Marty.

1 John 3:16,

'This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.'

Here's a few more from 1 John (he really got what it's all about, didn't he?)

1 John 3:14 (KJV) We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

1 John 4:16-21 (KJV) 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

In the love of Christ,
