Scripture: Exodus 34:6-7, Lamentations 3:22-23, 1 John 4:10, 1 John 4:7-21, 1 Timothy 1;15.

From Genesis to Revelation the steadfast love of God is very evident and His steadfast love is shown in spite of human rebellion. Even when we turn away from Him, He is still there.

In Lamentations the prophet Jeremiah understands the steadfast love of God as He prays, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

The cost of love was a love that was sacrificial, self-giving, a love that caused God, who loves the world and cares about each and everyone of us, to sacrifice His own Son for our rebellion.  

Love is the message of the Cross. 1 John 4:10 “In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

In God’s love we find not only forgiveness, not only hope and peace, but we find an incredible resource for loving as He first loved us.

1 John 4:7-21 shows us genuine love. God is Love. God in His very essence, His very character is love - steadfast love. That love has shown itself in the Lord Jesus Christ and God’s gift of forgiveness and life and hope in Him.

God’s steadfast love is a fingerprint all over the pages of Scripture, all across the centuries, but especially at the cross. And that is the love God wants manifested in each of our lives, that more and more we love like He does.

Nothing speaks more powerfully to those who do not know God, than the unconditional love of someone who does know Him.

A breakdown of 1 John 4:7-21
    ⁃    Love for God
    ⁃    Love for truth
    ⁃    Love for fellow believers
    ⁃    Love for enemies

We are not to hesitate to love those who have hurt us, made our lives difficult or who’ve wandered from God. Our heartfelt prayer, and our spirit-guided work is to love them as God does and to woo them back. That is genuine love.

The fingerprint of God’s steadfast love changes lives, restores broken hearts, renews damaged spirits and restores life to the soul. 

We are to know His steadfast love and reflect it because that changes lives, that changes families, that restores communities, that redeems countries and that makes a difference for eternity.

And it begins one person at a time.
