The Mystery of His Love

February 14, 2013

I have loved thee with an everlasting love . . .
–Jeremiah 31:3

No human experience can fully illustrate the imputed righteousness of God, as conceived by His infinite love. It is a mystery—incomprehensible and inexplicable. Like the mystery of the sun’s heat and light, we cannot measure it or explain it, and yet we could not live without it. Writing of the mystery of completed righteousness, Paul said, “We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory. . . . But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:7, 9). What God has wrought in us is wonderful. But His work has just begun. He has a wonderful, exciting, thrilling future for all of His believing children.

Prayer for the day

My finite mind cannot grasp all there is in store for those of us who love You—but this does not take away the joy and expectation all Your love has prepared—everlastingly!

We are only worthy of salvation through the love of Jesus, because He gave His life for us on the cross. “God is love.”

God made it clear to Job in chapters 38-40 that HOW he created the beautiful and wondrous world may be beyond human understanding. All I know is, how marvellous it really is and what HEAVEN will be like!We are blessed with beauty we cannot comprehend

Gerry says 2.14.2012, 06:33 a.m.

Dear lord God Almighty,Thank thee for including the Zhuji, my hometown for sending the flood as well as the Fiji for the continuous peace offering acceptance as our globe is spanned by the lord Jehovah continuously and our lives go on continuously.

But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, (Ephesians 2:4). LORD who can understand Your mercy? Daily, You are patient with us, Continually watching over us, When we walk away from You, You looking for us! Amazing, amazing LOVE!

sam says 2.14.2011, 08:37 a.m.

God's love can be fathomed somewhat in the love parents have for their young ones as well as the love between two young hearts---but only that the love of God for us is much much much more.

Gerry says 2.14.2011, 07:49 a.m.

God never breaks a promise. Everything he has written in his inspired word is absolutely true and will come to pass. Even though I cannot understand all his promises I'm certain his eternal plans for children will be far more incredible than our human mind could possibly grasp.

Larry says 2.14.2011, 07:08 a.m.

Faith is believing in something without scientific or physical proof. Faith is knowing in your heart that something is true.

I am 65 years young. I just recently had my foot and part of my leg amputated because of diabetes. I never thought about getting gangreen in any part of my body, but I came to realize that satan doesen't care and hates the ground that you walk on,so why did God let this happen. have asked that question over and over, from a simple cut on my foot turned out the way it did. With all that has happened to me these last 9 months has been very hard for me to say the least, but I love God and Jesus and no matter what has happened to me don't let this happen to you, check yourself regularly and don't just cry about it. Do something positve in your life, love every minute of your life and love God our Father, and Jesus his son, thats what he wants is for You to love Him no matter what happens to you its only for a short time and You will be as good as new.

Andrea says 2.13.2011, 4:27 p.m.

This was my verse when I was saved 16 years ago after a horrific car accident when two people died next to me. I am here today BY HIS GRACE and I have seen His love, I can trace His love that kept me. I trust Him and I have seen how THROUGH FAITH He came through for me even in a most difficult times and when I did not understand things. I only kept looking unto Him and through His Word He guided and spoke to me. When we have faith and live our life for Him than His name glorified, and we can start to understand how deep the Father's love for us. We can see the beauty of all the nature around us. We can not even imagine how wonderful heaven will be. Love you Lord Jesus and thank you that I can be your child, your friend because of YOUR LOVE.
