DIVINE LOVE OF GOD
Introduction
The love of God is not just an emotion—it is divine, intentional, and transformational. Unlike human love that changes with circumstances, God’s love is revealed through faith, grace, and redemption. Our texts today show us how God’s love is revealed, received, and reflected.
1. God’s Love Is Revealed Through Righteousness (Romans 1:17)
“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith…”
God’s divine love is revealed through His righteousness. We are not loved because we are perfect; we are loved because God is righteous and faithful. Through faith in Christ, God extends His love by making us right with Him.
Key Truth:
God’s love does not wait for us to deserve it—it reaches us through faith.
2. God’s Love Draws Us Closer, Not Away (Hebrews 10:22)
“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith…”
Divine love invites us into God’s presence. Because of His love, we can approach Him with confidence, not fear or shame. God’s love cleanses our hearts and gives us assurance.
Key Truth:
God’s love removes barriers and restores relationship.
3. God’s Love Produces Hope and Stability (Hebrews 10:23)
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering…”
When we understand God’s love, we become grounded. His promises do not fail, and His love gives us the strength to hold on—even in difficult seasons.
Key Truth:
Divine love anchors our hope in God’s faithfulness.
4. God’s Love Is Reflected Through Our Actions (Hebrews 10:24)
“And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.”
God’s love is never meant to stop with us. When we experience divine love, we are called to express it through compassion, encouragement, and good works.
