God's Love

God’s love is everlasting. One cannot find its beginning. Even in eternity, we will not discover its end. It is as eternal as the One it proceeds from. His love is boundless, measureless, endless, limitless, infinite, and inexhaustible.

God’s love is inexpressible. No thought can reach it, no tongue can declare it, no pen can express it, no choir can sing its melody, but the blood of Jesus demonstrates it to us.

God’s love is uncontainable and irrepressible. Sin cannot hem it in. Instead, it increases its flow to overflowing. The devil can’t build a stronghold that God’s love cannot dismantle and overwhelm. “To write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry, Nor could the scroll contain the whole tho stretched from sky to sky.”

God’s love is unattainable. No human good can deserve it. No position is worthy to possess it. No power can conquer it and make it its own. It can only be bestowed as a gift.

God’s love is inexhaustible. When you experience His love, you will always want more. As your desire increases you will discover the well never runs dry. All the saints of all time will never in all eternity drain the flow of the living water of God’s love.

God’s love is inescapable. To the ends of the earth His love pursues you. In the lowest depth you cannot hide. At the highest height you cannot evade His love. In the darkest cave the light of His love is brilliant. His love will hunt you down, capture you and will never let you go.

The Bible


The Bible is God’s revelation of Himself to mankind. You can live by it, but you can’t live without it. The Bible is the Word of God, the Law of God, the Command of God, the Promises of God , the Revelation of God, the correction of God, the instruction of God, the power of God. By His Word all creation came forth, armies fall, nations tremble, and mountains quake. When He speaks the lame walk, the blind see, the deaf hear, the mute speak, and the dead are raised. By His Power captives are set free, sinners are made saints, the wicked are made righteous. His Word is His Truth. By it we discern right and wrong, good and evil, sin and righteousness, and the signs of the times. As we proclaim it we destroy strongholds of the Devil and the philosophies of man. When we read it, meditate on it, and memorize it we are sanctified, purified, cleansed and washed. When it is preached we are built up, encouraged, strengthened, renewed, revived, and regenerated. Within its pages are words of love, words of hope, words filled with grace, words of comfort, and words of peace. By it we discover our origin, our problem, our hopelessness, our demise apart from Jesus Christ. Of God we learn His eye is always seeing, His ear is always hearing, His Spirit is always speaking, His hand is always reaching, His love is never ending, and He is never changing. Jesus is revealed to be our Redeemer, Savior, King , and Substitute. He is the King of kings, the Lord of lords, and the Prince of peace. You can listen to it, read it, receive it, speak it, teach it, proclaim it, observe it, and obey it. Some have tried to add to it, take away from it, revise it, revile it, and burn it, but they can’t get rid of it because the grass will wither and the flower will fade but His Word will stand forever.
