Episode 401 - Show Notes
- God's love for us is not dependent on our actions and there is nothing we can do to make him stop loving us. This of course, doesn’t mean that our actions always please the Lord or that he won’t discipline us, but his love for us is firm and unfailing.
- But God’s love comes without human cause. He loves because that is the kind of God He is. Nothing in us causes him to love us. Not our beauty, not our wealth, not our wisdom, not our good deeds, and not our promise to love him back.
- While we were sinners, when we were at our worst, and while we were the enemies of God, He demonstrated his great love for us by sending Jesus to die on the cross in our place.
- We can’t really understand this kind of love. We live in a world that says, “If you love me, I’ll love you back.” We don’t typically love those who treat us poorly. We don’t demonstrate great love to those who are our enemies. But this is exactly the kind of love God has for us.
- While he loves us as we are, he never leaves us as we are. His love brings us grace and mercy, but it also calls for confession and repentance. His love leads us to live a righteous life that honors the Lord. After all, what else could we give God in response to his love for us? Our only option is to give him our lives.
- Through every season of life, in all of your ups and downs, on your good days and on your bad days, you are still loved by God. When you succeed and when you fail, God’s love continues.
- How can we respond to the unfailing love of God? We love him in return. We demonstrate our love through worship and by surrounding our lives to serve him.
