“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39) Be encouraged and remember God’s promise to you – nothing can ever separate us from His love. It will change the way you think and act. When you fully understand the love of God – you will be loved like you’ve never felt before. When you believe it and receive it, His love transforms your life. God doesn’t love us because we are loveable or worthy but because He IS LOVE. In the New Testament, in John 3:16, we see the ultimate definition of God’s love as He sends His Son, Jesus, into the world to die on the cross for all of our sins. In the Old Testament, God creates covenants with His people out of love. We see God’s love all throughout Scripture – as the Bible is God’s love letter to us. Hesed depicts the kindness, goodness, steadfast, faithful love of God. One of the Hebrew words for love is hesed. When God says He is love, He wants us to view love as an essential part of His character. Love is one of God’s attributes – it’s who He is. That’s because God IS love.ġ John 4:8, “Whoever does not love does not know God because God is love.” But love has become such a common word that we forget it’s true meaning. Valentine’s Day is a day that we celebrate love. The first attribute we take a look at, appropriate on this Valentine’s Day, is LOVE. So when we understand and embrace who God is, it gives us a firm foundation for our faith. It’s important to study and know God’s attributes so we can grow closer to Him. We are starting a new series on the attributes of God. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
