God's Promises of His Love

By: Robert A. Searles

The love of God for all his children is beyond human comprehension. I often ask myself this question - Why should he love me so?  and, why should he love you so?- that he would remove mountains, and cast them into the midst of the sea before he would remove his love and care  from us.

God has given us the assurance that if we are his born again children, his love for us will prevail, and we will be protected and cared for, even in the midst of a worldwide crisis  and pandemic such as we are now experiencing.When we become overwhelmed with fear and concerned about our lives and our future, we need  to dwell on all the promises that God has given us in his word.

I want to remind you of just a few of the many promises that God has given us of his unfailing love and care for each of us.

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty I will say of the Lord he is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:  his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.  Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.  A thousand shall fall  at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.  Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.  Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most high thy habitation........".Psalm 91:1-9

"For the mountains shall depart and the hills  be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my power be removed saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee." Isaiah 54:10

"Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea." Psalm 46:2

"Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath, for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment,  and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner, but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished." Isaiah 51:6

.  "For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in nowise depart from the law till all be fulfilled." Math 5:18 

  Nevertheless, my loving kindness will I not take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail."  Psalm 89:33

"The Lord hath appeared of old unto me saying, yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love,  therefore with loving kindness have I drawn  thee." Jer31:3

.  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered, fear ye not, therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows" Math 10: 30,31

God who cannot lie has given to us these, and many more promises to assure us of our security and protection under the umbrella of his great love for us.  All we have to do is to believe and receive by faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross.

"God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son , that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have ever lasting life." John 3:16
