‘RED’ is a powerful color that symbolizes love, and probably the most ubiquitous this month. Well, there’s a Book that Reads and Bleeds RED! This month let us delve deeper in unraveling the author’s mysteries. Discover more through these articulated segments that sanctify just for you! It begins now!
The Red Letters
This week is widely recognized around the world as it commemorates the celebrations of Valentine’s Day, often revolving around romantic gestures, flowers, chocolates, and heartfelt messages exchanged between partners.
While the world celebrates this season of love, with their beloved, we as children of GOD are fortunate enough to experience the biggest and most profound love ever known to mankind, a love that does not require chocolates or roses to reaffirm it, a love that does not expire over time nor fails, “The love of GOD”.
Understanding GOD’s Love
“GOD IS LOVE” is probably one of the first verses a kid would learn at Sunday School, It is a verse that is often overlooked at by many. The truth is that there is a deeper meaning to that phrase, and let us understand it better.
How do you describe a rose to a blind person? How do you describe Amazing Grace’s Chorus to a deaf person? How do you describe the thrill of trekking to someone who’s never walked?
Similarly, How do you describe the impeccable, infinite love of God to impure, finite humans?
That my brethren is what we call “love”, GOD’s love transcends all human limitations and flaws, your weakness or imperfectness does not limit his love for you.
The point is not simply that God "loves," but that he is love itself. Love is not merely one of his attributes, but his very nature. (1 John 4:16).
The Benefits of GOD’s Love
As mentioned earlier, GOD’s love is infinite and unconditional. But those are not the only qualities or benefits of his love, we are blessed to experience the various other aspects that come along with the love of GOD. Some of them include:
Spirituality: God's love removes the barrier that separates us from him by cancelling the debt of our sin so that we can enjoy a loving relationship with him (Psalms 103: 3,12)
Emotional Healing: God's love heals our emotional wounds by removing sin and guilt, thus contributing to physical and emotional well-being (Psalm 147:3).
Eternity: God's love rescues humanity from destruction, offering eternal life instead of the pit of death (Jeremiah 31:3)
Authoritative: God's love crowns believers with glory and authority, making them part of His kingdom and priests to His God and Father (Revelations. 1:6).
These qualities of GOD extend an open invitation to be in a continuous relation with him and experience his love which in return teaches us to love. May these principles serve as a key to realise that there is no bigger love in the world except the love of GOD. A love that moulds, makes and moves an individual like no other relation in this world does.
Let us pray, that we continue to encounter god’s love in our lives each new day beyond all measures and most importantly follow his commandment to “Walk in Love”
as it says in Ephesians 5:1-2 – “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.”
Quote
There is no pit so deep, that God's love is not deeper still.
