Jesus had no problem acknowledging His Father’s love for Him and us. John 17:22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one– 23 I in them and you in me– so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know […]
Jesus states the reason the Father loves Him. It’s because He lays down His life in obedience to God’s command. “The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life– only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I […]
Never once, does Jesus say, “If you do this, only then I will love you.” Nor does God say “If only people will obey me, then will I love them.” God’s side is unconditional. It was a covenant of love as a one-sided promise from God. But God’s unconditional love comes with a response when […]
Only once to my knowledge does Scripture say Jesus loves the Father. Don’t you find that odd?

Jesus is every bit immense, eternal, powerful, pure, holy, and infinite as is God the Father, but His humanity […]
This year’s Lent Devotional Series “Seeing His Love with New Eyes” resumes tomorrow after today’s Sabbath rest to meditate and worship. Today, reflect on God’s infinite, inexhaustible, and impeccable love.
“Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us. This is how we know that we live in Him and He in us: He has given […]
Most of us are clueless about the death sentence we were facing as simple humans. We blissfully live our lives as though are our sins really aren’t that bad and certainly wouldn’t rise to the “death penalty level.” But Scripture says: Romans 5: 10 “Death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of […]
