„I have loved you with an everlasting love”
(Jeremiah 31,3)
The love of God is not a passing feeling.
Its intensity is seen in giving up His Son to be our Savior and Redeemer.
It is manifested in His eternal saving purpose whereby He engages all His divine power to bring us to glory, so that we may enjoy His love forever.
His love is immutable, it will never change. „How shall I give thee up?” (Hos 11,8). „Having loved his own… he loved them to the end” (John 13,1).
His everlasting love is victorious, it knows no defeat. It is the final source of my God-ward desires. I am loved by Him; so I can love Him.
I go the Him because He draws me with His infallible love.
It is an all-conquering love. As Isaac Watts put it, “Love so amazing, so divine / Demands my soul, my life, my all”.
Lord,
my salvation rest on your love. And I am saved to love you forever.
Thank you. Amen.
