God's Love

Five Promises Friday

Each Friday we will look at five simple promises centered on one theme. This week we will look at God's Love.

"Love has its source in God, for love is the very essence of His being." ~ Kay Arthur

1. God's love is sacrificial and the source of our salvation.

For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. 

John 3:16 AMP

2. God's love is our protection.

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy. For you bless the godly, O Lord; you surround them with your shield of love. 

Psalm 5:11, 12 NLT

3. God's love is everlasting.

But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children— with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.

Psalm 103:17, 18 NIV

4. God's love is incomparable.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

John 15:13 KJV

5. God's love cannot be lost through suffering.

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38, 39 NKJV

Father, I love you and want others to know about your love. There is nothing that can compare to your love. Your love is faithful. Your love affirms. Your love keeps us, protects us, and redeems us. Your love is sacrificial and last forever. So, Father I pray that we will learn Your love, abide in Your love, and share Your love.
