20 Scriptures About God"s Love In Different Ways




God’s Love Shown Through Jesus Christ


John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God. who loved me and gave himself for me.

Ephesians 2:4-5 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved—

1 John 4:9-11 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have 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.

God Loves and Cares For Us


Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.

1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Job 34:19 who shows no partiality to princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?

Psalm 86:15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

1 John 3:1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Respond To God’s Love Through Thankfulness


Psalm 136:26 Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever.

Romans 5:2-5 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Colossians 2:6-7 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.

Hebrews 12:28-29 Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.

You Can Be Saved, No Matter What You’ve Done By Rick Warren

“We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.” (Romans 3:22 NLT, second edition)


Because of what Jesus Christ did on the cross, everything you’ve ever done wrong is forgiven. God forgives you freely, completely, instantly, and repeatedly.


Even if there were no such thing as a Heaven — but of course there is — it would be worth believing in Jesus just to get a clear conscience. I’ve talked to thousands of people, and I know that most people are carrying secret guilt, secret regrets, and secret shame. You can be completely forgiven of that!


Romans 3:22 says, “We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are” (NLT, second edition).


I love that last part. It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done, who you’ve done it with, how long you did it, or where you did it — you can be saved. You can be forgiven. Everything is forgiven when you trust in Jesus Christ.


Talk It Over


Why do people find it so difficult to trust and accept God’s offer of salvation and grace?

What does it mean to be “made right” with God?

Who in your life needs to hear and be encouraged by Romans 3:22?

HE KNEW YOU, HE CHOSE YOU, HE CALLED YOU, JUSTIFIED YOU AND GLORIFIED YOU By Jennifer Hephzibah

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified”. (Romans 8:28-30)


This morning I am rejoicing in these verses in Romans. They are particularly powerful when read alongside Psalm 139. Together they say very clearly that you and I are here on purpose, in His purpose. He knows you, He chose you to be a believer in His Son, to follow Him and even before you were born, He had justified you, glorified you, called you by His name!


You may wonder at these verses, particularly if life is hard for you at the moment. You may wonder if that means that He chose to let you dwell in your current circumstances, to watch you go through the hardships you have gone through. There are no easy explanations for why bad things happen except that we are on the battlefield and though we are marked as soldiers of the King, in battles there are casualties. The enemy seeks to destroy and kill but we serve the Prince of Peace and He has won the victory. We will see the victory!







 


Whatever is going on in your life today, it does not change the fact that you are an anointed son or daughter of the King of Kings. It does not take away the fact that whatever the circumstances of your birth, He loved you before you were born, loves you now and will go on loving you long after you stop breathing the air of this earth. These present day troubles are for now, HIs love for you is for all eternity if you hold fast, trust and endure in His name.


 


Today dear brethren, You are called by His name, You are justified by the blood of Christ and you are and are and will continue to be glorified in His name.


You are wonderfully and marvelously made and His thoughts towards you are so precious and so numerous that they outnumber the stars in the sky! (Psalm 139) Yes God knows your name!


His unfailing love towards you as one who fears Him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. (Psalm 103)

His salvation will extend to your children’s children if you stay faithful to His commandments….(Psalm 103)


He has plans for you, to prosper you, to shine favor over you!

Claim it brethren, stand tall on His promises and know that in Him you are always more than a conqueror….. I am, I will and I believe in his promises over my life…do you?

Be blessed and may the peace and knowledge of the power of the living God embrace you, clothe you and protect you today and all days.


 


May the abundance of the storerooms of heaven pour over you and may you truly grasp your Father’s love for you in all things. In Jesus name. Amen

-hislovewithin.

"Limitless Love" by Robert Hedrick

God has a limitless supply of love that He is willing to share,







This love is always available to all those who are in His care.


He is willing to bless any who are willing to join in His cause,


For after we’ve been saved, He will use us, despite our flaws.


 


Now then, God’s love never fails, of this we can be very sure,


Unlike what we see from man, this love for all eternity, is pure.


Then too, His love does not stop when a mistake has been made,


He is always waiting for our return, whenever we have strayed.


 


As the world tries to close it’s door on us, God love is near,


When no one will listen to our problems, God bends His ear.


Then He sent His love down to us in the form of His Only Son,


So that all could gather into heaven when this life here is done.


 


I know for sure that God’s love is real, for you see I’m a receiver,


Satisfied that for anyone who receives it, will truly be a believer.


Then whenever I call on Him, I am assured that He hears my prayer,


When He gives me an answer, then for sure, I know His love is there.
