Verses on God's unending love

top-7-bible-verses-about-unconditional-love


What would you do if you believed that whatever you attempted, whether you soared or failed, would end in you being loved and held close by God. What would you attempt? Whom would you reach out to? Where would you let your heart lead you? The crazy thing is that we already have that security. We are assured of God’s presence throughout our lives, and yet, we hold back. We waiver. What we can be if only we dare to believe that we are forever loved. He tells us this is so, repeatedly, in the verses above, and throughout the Bible. We cannot earn it, and we cannot lose it. So let us live in it and give it back to Him with no strings attached. Just freely, abundantly, and as best as we know how, unconditionally. - extract

A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Sometimes, God use people in our lives to speak to us.
The Lord be exalted. He takes pleasure in His servant’s well-being
...who loves to see his servants do well 
..who delights in the welfare of his servant 
...who delights and takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant
...who delights in the peace of his servant 

God is glad when all goes well for his servant.
Psalm 35:27

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27
The one claiming to abide in Him ought also walk just as in the same way that He walked.

Jesus said to the people who believed in him, "You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings.

Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So practice andobserve everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of his servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.

Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them

The Sovereign LORD has given me his words of wisdom, so that I know how to comfort the weary. Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
