Faith in God's Love

Faith in God's Love

Scripture Reading: Romans 8:31-39

Focus Verse: 1 John 4:9  "God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him."

The one true God who created everything is interested in you and me.  His love for us is something that is hard to understand at times.  When we are faced with problems it is easy for us to question God's love for us. We think God has forgotten us, or that He doesn't love us as much as He once did.  But that's where our faith comes in.  If God said He loves us in His word than it is true.

The apostle Paul said "nothing in all of creation can separate us from the love of God."  God has already proven His love for us through the death of His only Son.  If God did not love us, He surely would not have allowed His Son to die for us.

For those who are God's children, the problems we face are all allowed by God for a purpose.  He has a plan and a purpose for our lives, even though we may not understand what is happening at the time.  But God knows what He's doing.  God's love for us is not based on what we feel or what we are going through.  He will never leave us or forsake us.  We will leave this world one day with all it's problems and in heaven there will be no more tears, no more pain, no more problems, no more sorrow.  For us that know Christ as Savior and Lord, let look forward to that day when we will be with Him forever.

Quote: “The believing man does not claim to understand. He falls to his knees and whispers, "God." The man of earth kneels also, but not to worship. He kneels to examine, to search, to find the cause and the how of things.” ― A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God
