God Attribute, 141

 

~ God Loves YOU ~

 

This Series ~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Quote ~ Jesus prayed to His Father, “You love them as much as You love Me” (John 17:23 NLT). God loves you as much as He loves Jesus.

 

Jesus says to His followers, “As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Now remain in My love” (John 15:9). Jesus loves you as much as God the Father loves Jesus.

 

The Bible says to us, “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” (1 John 3:1). God loves you so much, He made you His own son or daughter.

 

God’s Word declares, “He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all — how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32). God loves you so much, He gave everything for you. (Kathleen Kingsbury)

BE INSPIRED!  BE ENCOURAGED!

 

Gideon should not be relegated to flannelgraphs in children’s Sunday School classes. His struggles and victories are relevant for adults today. At the center of one of the many cycles of apostasy which the nation of Isael experienced, this historical account provides warnings and lessons for Christians today. Gideon was a judge sandwiched between bookends of 40 years of peace. While it is well known that his army was outnumbered by 450:1, much of his story is not so well known.

 

He lived in a day much like our own, “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”  Written in short segments, this book is valuable for busy lifestyles. It can be a fast read, a moderate read, or a slow devotional read.

Why Trust God? 105

 

~ God Never Changes ~

 

Introduction ~ “Abundant Life Now” previously provided a list of Biblical of examples of fearing / reverencing God (217 posts). In this current series we look at Biblical accounts that demonstrate that we can fully trust God. Initially we posted seven general reasons for trusting God. We are currently looking at passages from all 66 books of Scripture which demonstrate a reason for trusting our Creator. 

 

Scripture ~ “Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct.  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines.  For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them” (Hebrews 13:7-9).

Methods of Praise, 1

 

~ Praise With Your Tongue ~

 

Introduction ~ The Bible provides a number of examples of how God’s people are able to show praise to Him.

 

Scripture ~ “Let my cry come before You, O Lord; give me understanding according to Your Word. Let my supplication come before You; deliver me according to Your Word. My lips shall utter praise, for You teach me Your statutes. My tongue shall speak of Your Word, for all Your commandments are righteousness” (Psalm 119:169-172).

 

“Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause; and let them say continually, ‘Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.’  And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness and of Your praise all the day long” (Psalm 35:27-28).

In Jesus We Have… , 84

 

~ An Inheritance, 8 ~

 

Introduction ~ In this series we look at a few of the verses which state what we have when we are “in Christ.”  Consider our series theme verse: 

 

“God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.  For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:4-10).

 

Scripture ~ “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality” (Colossians 3:23-25).

God Attribute, 140

 

~ God IS Love ~

 

This Series ~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Scripture ~ “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another” (1 John 4:7-11).

 

Quotes ~ “I have given God countless reasons not to love me. None of them has been strong enough to change Him.” (Paul Washer) 

 

“I’m so grateful that neither my sin nor my stupidity keeps God from loving me.” (unknown)     

 

“God doesn’t love us because of our worth, we are of worth because God loves us.” (Martin Luther)

 

“Do you not realize that the love the Father bestowed on the perfect Christ He now bestows on you?  (Charles Spurgeon)   

 

Application ~ “‘Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?’  Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 22:36-40).
