God's Love

God’s love is the foundation of everything we are called to be. John 3:16 shows the depth of the Father’s love for the world. That love does not wait for perfection; it reaches people even while they are still doing wrong. Romans 5:5 reminds us that the Spirit pours God’s love into our hearts. When we receive the Holy Spirit, Acts 1:8 promises power. That power enables us to love others sacrificially, to forgive and to move on. Baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire refines us and burns away the chaff, and God casts our sins into the sea of forgetfulness. This message will encourage us to ask God to fill us with his love, to forgive and forget, and to be used for his glory and honor. Pray with us: Lord, help me to love others as you love me.
