Gracious Love and Truth - Righteousness and Peace
October 27, 2024
Romans 5:5 Now this hope does not disappoint me because God's love is poured out into my heart by the Holy Spirit, Who has been given to me.
Psalm 85:10 Gracious love and truth meet, righteousness and peace kiss.
Has God sent me peace to bind up my wounds? I would forsake all to find His love and peace.
I am passionate against anything that would draw me away from Jesus and His love. The fear of coming short of His love or the temptations to forsake Him...the thought is most painful. No water can quench His love for me, nor any flood draw it out.
The Love of Jesus Christ reaches me in my deep, deep need. His seal upon my heart settles our eternal relationship. Ephesians 1:13 You too, have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed in the Messiah, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.
Recover your first zeal, tenderness and seriousness and pray as earnestly and watch as diligently as when you first set out in the way of God...His path of life for you.
Four Characteristics of God's Love
- The Strength of Love - Galatians 2:20 The Son of God loved me and gave Himself for me.
- The Jealousy or passion of love - God's jealousy is as pure as His love and it is because He loves us so tenderly that He is jealous for our souls.
- The endurance of love - Many waters cannot quench love. Psalm 42:7 Deep waters call out to what is deeper still at the roar of Your waterfalls all Your breakers and Your waves swirled over me.
- The Value of Love - His love to me creates love in me - 1 John 4:19 Romans 5:5 The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy spirit which is given unto us.
Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine! for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For behold the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people. But the Lord shall arise upon thee and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to Thy light and kings to the brightness of Thy rising.
