GOD'S LOVE IS FOREVER DEMONSTRATED

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: God's Love Is Forever Demonstrated

1. The love of God is foundational & unquestionable.

Jesus is GOOD SHEPHERD who laid down His life for the sheep! In His life, His death, His resurrection, He poured into our very hearts His own special love!

He didn't just sprinkle His love, or scatter His love, but rather He LAVISHED IT upon us in overflowing amounts!
Romans 5:5 (NKJV) 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

NOTE: We have this increasing joy of His love in our lives.
THE LOVE of God is so different than what this world offers.
Truly, the WORLDS LOVE is in opposition to God's love.
Read through 1 John 2:15-17

NOTE: It's true, God's love is unlike any other love.
Today we will see just how wonderful God's love is and how He demonstrated it through his Son Jesus Christ.

1 (v6) God’s love is UNCONDITIONAL. V6
Jesus died for who? The UNGODLY.
We were absolutely hopeless & helpless when Lord died for us.
We couldn't help out even a little bit.
Really, God doesn't need my help.

HAVE YOU NOTICED how many times we read of people in the Bible that decided to help God out a little and failed.

1. Abram & Sarah they decided to help God out a little and Ishmael was born to them.
Genesis 17:19 (NKJV) 19 Then God said: to, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

2. King Saul he decides to not destroy ALL the Amalikites, but ends up dying at the hand of one.
1 Samuel 15:14 (NKJV) 14 But Samuel said, that then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?

3. James & John they decided to help the ministry a little by calling fire down from heaven to take of people.
Luke 9:55-56 (NKJV) 55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, you do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them. And they went to another village.

4. Even Peter he tried to defend the Lord in the garden and cut a guys ear off.
Matthew 26:52-53 (NKJV) 52 But Jesus said to him, put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?

THE TRUTH IS YOU & I cannot help God out. He doesn't need it.
That's why my heart grieves when I hear of ministers & ministries talk about how much God needs your help.
If you don't send in you pledge or seed faith vow, our ministry will shut down.

LISTEN God is not broke. He isn't dependent upon us either.
Ephesians 3:20 (NKJV) 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

Philippians 4.19 And my God shall supply all your need according

His love over us is unspeakable and his power is great, his grace is endless, His protection is immeasurable, how he save and care for his own can not be paid for. All you and me need is to give our life to him in appreciation

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, DON'T LET THE UMBRELLA OF YOUR LOVE ROLL AWAY FROM ME FOREVER IN JESUS NAME
