How big is the love of God for you?

[lambofgod43985889]

How big is the love of God,
I cannot be sad.
The angels are my squad.
He protects me; he is dad.

How big is the love of God for you? Based on the scriptures

 

[Jesus is my Superhero]

The love of/from God is more vast than I can comprehend. Through the teachings of Jesus I have a better understanding of mercy, justice and patience. I have also come to the understanding that love isn't just an emotion, but, also a choice, a decision, a way of life. God's way! Peace and kindness to you all.

Re: How big is the love of God for you?

This depends upon which of God's loves we're talking about because He's capable of two distinct levels; for example:

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

God's love in that passage is expressed by the verb agapao (ag-ap-ah'-o) which is an impersonal level of love. In other words agapao primarily refers to benevolence; roughly defined as the disposition to do good, .e.g. kindness, consideration, generosity, courtesy, lenience, tolerance, patience, sympathy, assistance, civility, friendliness, etc. (cf. Matt 5:45)

John 3:16 tells me that God cares about certain people without particularly liking them; in point of fact He may even be quite disgusted and strongly inclined to discard their body, soul, and spirit in the lake of brimstone depicted at Rev 20:11-15 where numbers of folk will be terminated by a mode of death akin to a foundry worker falling into a kettle of molten iron. Ironically those people will be going there in spite of God's caring for their safety and wishing their lives didn't have to end that way.

His other level of love is expressed by the Greek verb phileo (fil-eh'-o) which exceeds agapao because it includes not just benevolence but also fondness, for example:

"The Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father." (John 16:27)

"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!" (1John 3:1)

In other words: phileo is a level of love that plucks God's heart strings because phileo is an affectionate level of love that speaks of bonding, longing, and attachment.

How big is the love of God for you? Based on the scriptures

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin
Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song
