LOVE ONE

TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO LOVE GOD, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH GOD LOVES YOU

God doesn’t just show love.
God is love.

Long ago, even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us…
Ephesians 1:4a

…before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. His unchanging plan has always been [from the very beginning of time] to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure.
Ephesians 1:4b - 5

Dear friends in Rome, God loves you dearly, and he has called you to be his very own people.
Romans 1:7

THE RELATIONSHIP THAT GOD CREATED YOU FOR IS TO BE HIS SON OR HIS DAUGHTER!

What an incredible quality of love the Father has shown to us, that we should be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are!
1 John 3:1

I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love; and may you have the power to understand, as all of God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. And may you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it.
Ephesians 3:17 - 19a

GOD’S LOVE IS …

IT’S WIDE ENOUGH TO BE EVERYWHERE.

IT’S LONG ENOUGH TO LAST FOREVER.

IT’S DEEP ENOUGH TO HANDLE ANYTHING.

IT’S HIGH ENOUGH TO OVERLOOK MY SINS.


I’M CONFIDENT IN BRINGING MY NEEDS TO GOD

All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God! So, you should not be cowering, [like] fearful slaves. You should behave instead like God’s very own children, adopted into his family–calling him “Father, dear Father.”
Romans 8:14 - 15

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 4:16

I HAVE PEACE IN PAIN I DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND.

The peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7

I CAN REPLACE MY WORRIES WITH WORSHIP

“So don't worry about having enough food or drink or clothing. He will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern. So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.
Matthew 6:31 - 34

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out all fear.
1 John 4:18

To all who believed him [that’s Jesus] and accepted him, [he’s
already accepted you] Jesus gave the right to become children of God.
John 1:12
