This is a question that I have heard asked many times , both
here at TalkJesus , and throughout my entire walk with the Father.
My answer is ... Yes ... beyond our understanding . My
answer is not convincing enough , or everyone I talk to would
be saved without this obstacle of thought in the way . But there
is some very good news for those who are asking .
God can answer this question ! Fortunately, we have a
book available where we can find out what God thinks .
The Bible.
What a wonderful thought that is ! We can read and know what
GOD thinks ! Don't let yourself be robbed of this great
privilege by being too busy.
PSALM 103:13
13 - As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has
compassion on those who fear him;
One way we can begin to get understanding of God's love for us is
to know what it is like to have our own children.
Psalm 103:13
tells us that the same deep feelings a parent has for their
child, are also present in God toward us. The word in this
verse means much more than "compassion." It is a
very deep feeling , hard to express in words. This is what
God feels for you !
All I can say is , I know this because my wife and I have been outcast by many because of our undying love for our
oldest son . Many Christians get weary in Spiritual Warfare
and turn away from the battle , and will even supply you with
plenty of scriptures to justify their choice to QUIT !
However , those same scriptures do not apply , or support
the measure of Gods amazing love for us .
We may wonder why God would feel that way
about you or me. All I can say is parents can be pretty silly
over their children ! I have seen some I didn't think were too
special, but the parents sure thought they were special !
Another way we can judge how much God loves us is by what He
was willing to go through to redeem us and have us in His
family.
We are familiar with John 3:16, but often being familiar with
something keeps us from grasping it as fully and clearly as we
should. Think about it [ God so loved the dirty, rotten,
rebellious world of people , even those who hated Him , that
He decided to suffer the punishment that justice demanded so
they could go free .]
God loves you ... no matter who you are ... no matter what you
have done . He loves you more than you can imagine or
understand.
God loves you more than He loves Himself. That is proven by the
fact that He put your interest and your feelings ahead of His
own, choosing to suffer so you could go free. My wife and I have
learned this kind of love through much pain . But if God were not
there with us . Our pain would be too much to bear , and we
probably would just give up . But if we were to do that , we
would be putting a limit on Gods love towards us , and also our
son , saying God himself could not overcome the strongholds of satan .
The Father has made the way through Jesus Christ ... HIS ONLY
BEGOTTEN SON !
Jesus Christ defeated satan and stripped him of all Authority , and
our is not to doubt that in our hearts , but apply faith that
[he who started the good work in our live's , is also faithful to perform , or finish that same work . ]
How can anyone not love and worship such a Being as our
wonderful God?
May the truth of Gods love for you rest deep within your hearts
and bring forth much fruit into your live's , being mostly
peace and love . Thank you Father God for hearing our prayers .
