What is God's Love Like?

God’s Love Is Like a Gentle River, flowing freely and without force. This love doesn't push or demand; it simply is, offering us the precious gift of choice. In this divine love, we find an open invitation: "I love you so much, that I gave everything up to be with you. Will you not answer My deep love with everything that you have and are?"

God however, respects our decisions. If we choose a different path, He accepts it without forcing His way, however has very deep pain about your decision. His love creates a space for freedom, but cries if we don't answer His love!

If we decide to go our own way, God cries, "Where are you!". It's not a command but an invitation to join Him out of ultimate love Think of a father, heartbroken, asking this question at his child's grave.

Echoing Adam and Eve...

Key verses: Genesis 3:10; Genesis 3:13

This echoes Adam and Eve's story in the Bible. When they hid from God, He wasn't angry but deeply saddened, asking the same question. Adam and Eve's story in Genesis 3 shows us their fear and blame. When God asked them about their actions, Adam blamed Eve: "I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid" (Genesis 3:10), and Eve blamed the serpent: "The serpent deceived me, and I ate" (Genesis 3:13). This is often how we react too — either scared or defensive.

But God didn't react with anger or demands, only with pain and love. He showed patience and love, even when they blamed Him. Despite their mistakes, God still cared for them, providing clothes for them, which required a blood sacrifice. This points to Jesus's blood sacrifice, which offers us freedom from our mistakes and a chance to reconnect with God's love.

We Can Reconnect With God’s Love Through Jesus’s Blood Sacrifice

Key verses: John 3:3–7; Titus 3:5-6

God's love is patient and open. His love is constant, even when we don't feel sure about it. However, realize that justice is also love, but if we accept Jesus’s blood sacrifice, it's not about punishment but a promise to be forgiven. The Bible shows this love on every page. It's a love that lets us talk openly about our worries and doubts. Through everything, God is there, listening and caring. However, if we don’t react to Jesus’s blood sacrifice, we are still under judgement.

As you read your Bible, you'll see this unending love. It's a love that surprises, lasts, and invites us into its warmth. Oh, if you only say yes to His love and give your all to Him. This journey through the Bible is a journey into God's heart, showing us His endless love, eventually granting you access to His Kingdom, which He will rule out on this earth.
