God is Love: Embracing the Eternal Truth
In a world filled with darkness, one where questions loom and hearts ache, a resounding truth echoes through the chaos— God is love.
This truth stands as an anchor of hope in the weight of a broken world, a beacon of light that guides us toward understanding, redemption, and a love unlike any other.
The fact that God is love is the greatest news anyone could ever hear because every single person He has ever created now has direct access to Him.
This means that no matter who you are, where you’re from, or what you’ve done, you can experience all of who He is. You can experience His goodness, His mercy, and His never-ending love for you, His precious child.
Experiencing God’s Love Amidst Darkness
Day by day, more and more people are becoming aware of the immense evil in the world. This has triggered a wave of soul-searching, leading many people to seek answers beyond the ordinary. Even well-known people like Lee Strobel, have gone on unconventional journeys from skepticism to faith, from atheist to believer.
Stories like these resonate with those who have faced the darkness head-on, only to discover that love's transformative power can emerge even from the depths of despair. That God can meet them in the darkest parts of their lives with a love so bright it lights up everything in and around them.
The Backwards Path to Belief
Many people have also been finding their way to faith through an unexpected route—the "backward way."
Witnessing the extent of evil in this world has led them to question the foundations of truth, and in their quest for answers, they've encountered the Bible's unwavering message.
As they grapple with the scriptures, they receive a revelation that defies logic—the truth that God's love endures even in the darkest of times through unexpected ways and people.
Love that Transcends Boundaries
With all this said, many are searching for their purpose. They’re searching for a God, their God. And when they look at the big picture- Genesis to Revelations, Alpha and Omega they can finally understand. Hardships, seeing evil, or academically disproving still lead to understanding that God is Love.
In reading about God’s perfect love in the Bible, they quickly realize that no one was perfect but Him yet, everyone was perfectly loved by Him.
From murderers to adulterers, He loved them all, He used them all and He sent His Son to die on the cross for them all, each and every one of them. This revelation resonates across hardships, trials, and moments of doubt.
"When I was praying, I heard God say 'I love you, the one, like you are the only one. I love everyone else out there like they are the one, the only one.'" These words echoed a profound truth in my heart, reminding me that God's love is all-encompassing.
That within the intricate details of our lives, we can find evidence of a love that is both personal and universal. A love that knows our imperfections and embraces us anyway. A love so pure that it purifies everyone who receives it.
This is the love of God, this is why God is love. By Him love is defined, in Him, love is found, and through Him, love is given.
His love is unconditional, never-ending, and faithful, it’s a love that will endure for generations, and as Paul says in Romans 8:38-39(NIV):“I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
