> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? (39)
> Nor height nor depth nor any other creature will be able to
> separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus
> our Lord....
> 1 John 4:16 And we know and have believed the love which God
> has in us. God is love....
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> What is God's love? Love is the heart of God. God's love
> issues out of His heart. Righteousness is the way of God,
> holiness is the nature of God, glory is the expression of
> God, and love is the heart of God. After speaking of God's
> righteousness, holiness, and glory, Paul brings us into God's
> heart of love. Why has God demonstrated His righteousness?
> Because man was fallen. Man was wrong with God and needed His
> righteousness. Why must God exercise His holiness? Because
> man is common. God must sanctify all of His common, chosen
> ones. Why must God give us His glory? Because all His chosen
> ones are low, mean, and vile. Hence, He must exercise His
> glory to transfigure us. But what was in God's heart
> originally? Love. Before God exercised His righteousness,
> holiness, and glory He loved us. Love was the fountain, love
> was the root, and love was the source of it all.
>
> God loved us before He predestinated us, He loved us before
> He called us, He loved us before He justified us, and He
> loved us before He glorified us. Before everything and
> anything else He loved us. Our salvation originated with the
> love of God. Love is the source of all that God does for us,
> and this love is His heart. Therefore, after God's salvation
> has been fully accomplished, His love remains our security.
> The love of God is not only the source of our salvation, it
> is the security of our salvation.
