How precious is YOUR unfailing love, O GOD!
(Arthur Pink)
GOD'S love to HIS people is infinite.
There is a depth to it which none can fathom;
there is a height to it which none can scale;
there is a breadth to it which defies measurement.
"I have loved you with an everlasting
love; therefore I have drawn you with
loving-kindness." Jeremiah 31:3
How blessed to know that the great
and holy GOD loved HIS people before
Heaven and earth were called into
existence, that HE had set HIS heart
upon them from all eternity.
Clear proof is this that HIS love
is eternal, for HE loved them endless
ages before they had any being.
Marvelous it is, that ONE so infinitely
above us, so inconceivably glorious,
so ineffably holy--
should not only notice such
worms of the earth, but also set
HIS heart upon them, give HIS SON
for them, send HIS SPIRIT to indwell
them, and so bear with all their
imperfections and waywardness
as never to remove HIS loving-
kindness from them!
This steadfast love of the LORD
is never removed from HIS children.
Since the believer is in CHRIST, nothing
can separate him from the love of GOD
(Romans 8:39). GOD has solemnly
engaged HIMSELF by covenant, and
our sins cannot make it void.
"Though the mountains be shaken and
the hills be removed, yet MY unfailing
love for you will not be shaken nor MY
covenant of peace be removed," says
the LORD, who has compassion on you."
(Isaiah 54:10).
Calvary is the supreme demonstration
of divine love. Whenever you are tempted
to doubt the love of GOD, Christian reader--
go back to Calvary.
"How precious is YOUR unfailing
love, O God!" Psalm 36:7
"May you have the power to understand,
as all GOD'S people should--
how wide, how long, how high, and how
deep HIS love is. May you experience
the love of HRIST, though it is too great
to understand fully." Ephesians 3:18-19
