GOD’S LOVE FOR YOU IS EVERLASTING
“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” Jeremiah 31:3 (KJV)God loves His children irrevocably, irreversibly and unconditionally and there is nothing the devil can do about it. The love of God for you is not predicated on whether you do good or not. He still loves you no matter what you do. His love for you is everlasting by the reason of the price that Jesus Christ paid on your behalf. Jesus paid the supreme price to reconcile you to God.In the book of Isaiah 54:7-8, the bible says: “For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer”. (KJV). The love of God for you is ironclad and blood bought. It can never be reversed. If you don’t understand this God’s loving kindness that passes human understanding, you will struggle in your walk with God.Even in your mess God still loves you. Even while you are still doing things that are wrong, He still loves you. He has committed Himself that He will never stop loving you because now you are a member of His family. You belong to Him! And He loves you with an everlasting love.There is no more condemnation to those who are in Christ. No judgement! No guilt! No accusation! God wants you to walk in the liberty wherein Christ has set us free.No matter what you see happening on earth, no matter what you see happening around you, know that your case is different. His love for you compels Him to separate you. You are separated! You will not be a cheap victim in the hands of the devil. What God has purposed for you shall be accomplished. You will not be disgraced! You will not be embarrassed! You cannot serve God and go under. In Christ, you are sealed and separated. You have the victory.Further Reading.
