About the Love of God
About the love of God
It is very difficult for us to understand how huge the love of God actually is towards us and to all His creatures is. God, who Himself the love is, should His love not manifold bigger be than what we humans are able to feel?
How deep is the love of a mother or of a father towards their children? Shouldn`t the love of God, who actually is the father of us all, not be much, much deeper? How strong is the love between the lovers, shouldn’t the love of God be much stronger? How much do we love our pats, shouldn’t the love of God towards us and towards all His creatures not be much more intense?
And still, how often do we turn our back to God and reject His loving hand. And still, many angels have left Him and chose to follow the devil. How painful must has been for God, who created us, to experience the rejection of His Love. And still He gave us the choice and the freedom to do so. He gave us the freedom to choose the devil instead of God and to follow him. This is because a forced love, without a free choice in not a real love. Should we not respond to this unselfish love with love in return?
It is very difficult for us humans to comprehend how much God loves the angels, and is very difficult to understand how awful God must has felt after their rejection of Him. Because or heavenly relatives are much closer to God, they know Him better, they have a much higher knowledge about God, His divinity, they know about the orderliness of God, and about the Love of God than we do.
Yet we can assume how much God loves us humans through the sacrifice of Jesus, His Son`s and through the life of Jesus among us. The death of Jesus on the cross is the most perfect, the most beautiful, and the lovable proof of His love towards us. As He has sacrificed 11himself not only for those who love Him but also for those who hated Him and killed Him. How painful hast has been to feel the hatred and the lust to kill of those who He loves. And still He said on the cross: “Father, forgive them, then they don`t know what they are doing”. O what a wonderful, deep love does Love have, and God is?
So was He deep moved by the grief of the mother, who had lost her only son:
|
7:12 |
|
Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her. |
|
7:13 |
|
And when the Lord saw her, he had pity on her and said to her, Be not sad. |
|
7:14 |
|
And he came near, and put his hand on the stretcher where the dead man was: and those who were moving it came to a stop. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up. |
|
7:15 |
|
And the dead man got up, and words came from his lips. And he gave him to his mother. |

Jesus also cried over the death of Lazarus:
|
11:33 |
|
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, |
|
11:34 |
|
And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. |
|
11:35 |
|
Jesus wept. |
|
11:36 |
|
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! |
|
11:37 |
|
And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? |
|
11:38 |
|
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. |

Especially in John 11, 36: “Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!” according to this statement we can understand how much Jesus loves Lazarus and representative also each person. He loves us. It is a proof of love as well as the whole Gospel is a proof of Love towards us.
Also many other things which God gives us let us feel the strength of His love for us. So is each person, that God gives us on the way and his love for us is a proof of Gods Love towards us. May it be our mother or father or brother or sister.
So is also the nature a beautiful gift for us.
The biggest and living peace of Art ids the sky above us. And so much, so much more.
What is our Love Toward God worth for God? May we sinners offer Him our Love? How much is it worth for God?
The love of each human being, whether the one of the biggest benefactors or of the biggest sinner, has an immense value to God. He has not rejected the tax collector, who has had the least respectable profession at that time, and He has not rejected the lepers. He also has not turned His back on the woman who was about to be stoned to death. We as well can receive mercy. Each one is appealed to love Jesus, to receive forgiveness, to feel and to know himself close God.
Does not the father wait for his lost son in the bible?
Just the same waits also our heavenly Father, God for us. Than this big and multiple more is His Love for us.
