Unfailing Love
And now these three remain.........faith, hope and love but the greatest of these is love (1corinthians 13 vs. 13)
The cosmos (universe seen as an ordered system) is a striking resemblance of the compatibility of different particles (if humans can be called) not by force, not by law, but in an entity called “LOVE”.
It’s not surprising to see love in these things simply because the creator “God is love” (1 John 4 vs. 8)
Right from the beginning of creation, God has loved us. All went perfectly well until imperfection sets in.... not on God’s part but on the part of man. We sold ourselves to slavery, putting God in a fix, He couldn’t let us go because He loved you and I, but a ransom had to be paid.
Jesus stepped into the scene, having the form of God (Love); He laid down His life for us. He paid the debt He didn’t owe to cancel the price we couldn’t pay.
In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus dreaded what he’ll have to go through. When our sins was laid upon him on the cross, He felt a separation and He cried with a loud voice ”Eloi, eloi, lamasabacthni”.....My God My God , why have you forsaken.
Jesus was lonely, neglected and deserted at that point by His father. The physical Agony was horrible but the spiritual alienation from God was the ultimate torture. He died for you and I to reconcile us back to God. (Romans 5 vs. 1)
It wasn’t easy but it was worth it because of his unfailing love.
There are times we forget our weakness and strive so hard to earn love... God’s love.
In many cases, we leave His word and end up with false ideas. Either we are too good to deserve His love or we are not able to get his love and assume that we are not qualified. Some other times, what we do is insult God with our indifference towards the greatest act of genuine love in history.
The bible tells us that “God loves us”. His love has no beginning and it is incredibly patient. Just respond to His loving call and don’t try to earn what is freely given.
He sacrificed His son for you, not when you were good but when you were imperfect (Romans 5 vs. 8)
God says my son paid for what is unacceptable about you. Now live because of my love; respond to me; love me with your whole being; give yourself to me, not as a payment but in thanksgiving.
Live life fully with the freedom of knowing you are loved with an "UNFAILING LOVE".
