His Great Love
Robert E. Hanna
Throughout God's relationship and dealings with man, the consistent theme is the manifestation of His love. He has proclaimed His love, pledged His love and proved His love. He has dedicated, dispensed and demonstrated His love. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His son to be the propitiation for our sins" (I John 4:10).
The magnitude of God's love is beyond the comprehension of the finite mind. "For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for-a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US" (Rom. 5:7, 8).
Paul prayed that the saints might "know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God" (Eph. 3:19). He further encourages us, "And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour" (Eph. 5:2). "But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another" (1 Thess. 4:9).
Paul's personal testimony is perhaps no more exemplary of his dedication than in these words: "1 am crucified with Christ:nevertheless 1 live; yet not 1, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh 1 live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me" (Gal. 2:20).
"Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth..." (I Cor. 13:4-6). In short — "GOD IS LOVE" (1 John 4:8).
