Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
Romans 5:5, “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
We need to see the nature of God’s unconditional love, because this love is the very essence of His relationship to us.
And this love should be the very essence of our relationship to Him.
It should also be the essence of our relationship to one another.
God’s love first comes to us and causes us to love Him; and in loving Him, we love one another.
These three dimensions are the dimensions of the love of God–His love toward us, our love toward Him, and our love toward one another.
The nature of our love toward the Lord and toward one another should not be any different from His love toward us.
The love that reaches us and is poured out into our hearts by God is the same love that returns back to Him in worship, praise, enjoyment, and intimate fellowship.
It is also the same love that flows out from us to one another.
It is altogether one love flowing in three directions–God’s unconditional love coming from God to us, and then going back from us to God, and then horizontally going out to one another.
This is one kind of love, not three different loves.
There is not one kind of love that God has for us, then another kind of love that we have toward God, and then a third kind of love that we have toward one another.
No, the agape love is one love; it is one essence.
It has one nature, and that nature flows in all directions.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
