The Love of God

We speak of Christ showing His love by the death of the Cross; let us also evermore consider the Father’s love, in whose hand was the sword. Oh, the yearnings of His heart, when He was bruising the Son of His love!

The children of God ought to count it their chief joy, in drawing nigh to God, that they have His ear and heart. Great is the difference between a child of God confiding in Him, and a child of God full of petitions and burdens, but doubting God until some outward deliverance be granted. The character of God and His love demand our perfect trust at all times.

The love of God is not purchased for us by the blood of Christ. That love springs up out of God’s own heart and nature. Self-moved, He sent His Son.

We could not be the object of the Father’s love, which is from everlasting to everlasting, but as chosen in Christ. He loves us with love perfect and unchangeable.
