It is wonderful to study and meditate on the love of God. It is a subject that never grows old and is found on every page of the Bible and in every encounter with the living God. As we walk with God, we find evidences of His love in our own lives, like those in the Bible.
But one might ask, “What is the take away?”
Here are some of the many things that we learn and “take away” from meditating on and living in the knowledge of God’s love:
- We gain personal relationship with God. When we understand the offer (John 3:16) and accept it (Romans 10:13), we become sons of God.
- We gain eternal life. God promises eternal life to those who believe. (Romans 6:23)
- We gain factual knowledge to draw us toward God as we consider what He has done.
- We gain experiential knowledge by our time spent with God, by watching how He changes us and moves in our lives.
- We receive love, so we are able to be better givers of love.
- We receive strength to accept difficult things from God’s hand when we know and understand and receive as truth the love of God for us.
Beloved, take time to consider, to meditate, to live in the knowledge of the love of God for you. He loved, loves and will love you for eternity. That should transform your life.
