God is love

1 John 4:8 The one who does not love has not known God, because God is love.

 So often we hear the statement, ‘God loves you’, what does this actually mean:

The person actually making that statement, have they actually experienced the love of God? If they have how would they describe such love? These questions are very real for some people. This question of its own is actually asking is God real is God a loving God?

If you were asked that question how you would answer it, how have you actually and tangibly experienced the reality of God? Without faith this question cannot be answered.

God is love, He loves us, and when we respond to God’s love, then we need to in faith accept His mercy for those sins we have judged ourselves to be guilty of, and His grace for those sins that God finds us guilty of. This grace is the undeserved favour of God’s love in our lives.

In my life I have been blessed by the Living Presence of the Holy Spirit, tangibly covered in the love of God, and filled with a love beyond imagine. Having experienced the Indescribable, Unnameable God, for me God is real, His mercy unlimited, and His grace immeasurable.

Be encouraged to respond in faith to God’s love.

David

Point to ponder: God’s love is real.

Question to consider: Have you been filled with God?
