Jesus Loves You

Jesus loves you, those 3 little words often glibly roll off people’s tongues without thinking about it. However, the love of God bears thinking about. In 1 John chapter 4 (KJV) we can learn a lot about God’s love. In verse 10 we read, " Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins"; now that is love. Propitiation simply means that Christ’s sacrifice won God’s mercy for us.

In verse 16 the apostle John wrote: “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him”. We can know, experience and believe God’s love for us. It also says if we continue in love, God dwells in us and we in God. That’s a great place to live.

If we truly love God, we will love one another (1 John 4:20). As we dwell in God and he in us, we have his perfect love in us (1 John 4 :16-17) and that perfect love drives out all fear from within us (1 John 4:18)

We really need a revelation of God’s great love for us - it doesn’t just come from a quick read through of this chapter but by meditating on it and confessing it until, we know that we know that we know, God loves us. Once we have that revelation, we will be able to share it with others (1 John 4:7).
