BENEFITS OF GOD'S LOVE

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: BENEFITS OF GOD'S LOVE

Psalm 103

The Psalmist uncovers all the phases of life that God's love has touched and in turn benefited and blessed the recipient.

A. SPIRITUALLY (v. 3, 12)
Spiritually God's love removes the barrier that separates us from him by canceling the debt of our sin so that we can enjoy a loving relationship with him. God's love removes our sins as though they never existed.

B. EMOTIONALLY (v. 3)
Much of our physical and emotional illness is due to moral failure. In removing the sin and guilt from our lives God's love brings healing to our emotional life.

C. ETERNALLY (v. 4)
The pit is the pit of death. God's love rescues us, fallen humanity, from our own bent on destruction, and grants us eternal life.

D. AUTHORITATIVELY (v. 4)
God's love places a crown of royal glory and authority on us. God's love ". . . made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father" (Rev. 1:6). He have been crowned with his love and given a new citizenship on this earth and in heaven.

E. PHYSICALLY (v. 5)
Like a father he desires to give us good gifts of strength and endurance. Jesus, the embodiment of God's love came enjoying life, and he wants his children to do the same.

F. JUDICIALLY (v. 6)
Here we find a major difference between divine love and what so often passes for love among people. Often, love is expressed as that virtue that accepts everything. But, God's love always makes judgment calls. Divine love hates what is wrong and embraces what is right.

LET US PRAY
AS FROM TODAY, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO ENJOY GODS LOVE IN ALL YOUR WAYS IN JESUS NAME. AMEN
