Agape

In the bible there is not the term "unconditional love" stated but it is true to the meaning when talking about God with His great love for us. How so? God died for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). God's love is so great and profound (Eph 3:18, Psa 36:5), and that it is because of His great love that sustains us (Psa 54:4) and Christ was given unto men for his salvation (John 3:16).

In this world we will face difficulties. We do not live in this world alone. We co-exist with other men and try to live peaceably with all. However strifes will occur between men because men are imperfect and carnal by nature. Each has his own pride and ego, and the heart is wicked (Matt 15:19) with the tongue unable to be controlled (James 3:8). Men will only disappoint (Psa 146:3,Psa 118:8) but we have a great ally with us, God, who is perfect in all His ways, to go to for comfort and restoration. He has given us His Spirit that dwells in all who are chosen. He is a wonderful counsellor, the Prince of Peace. God says, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." We can cast all our fear, insecurity, anxieties, troubles, cares and burden unto Him who is our refuge and shield. (Phi 4:6, Psa 46:1, Psa 61:3, 1 Peter 5:7, Psa 55:22) Men and the problems in this world may bring us down, but we have a God who is a great God who has overcome and will protect us. He is a faithful God. So lets seek Him in not just times of need but let Him be with you at all times, and may you walk in the Spirit of the Lord, be joyful and do not fear, for He is with you. Peace be with you always.


May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 
Romans 15:13
