ATTRIBUTES OF GOD'S LOVE

Romans 5: 6-8 (NIV)
Your see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But, GOD demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

There are 5 major attributes of GOD'S love: 1. It is the nature of GOD to love; 2. GOD'S love is unconditional; 3. GOD'S love is unending; 4. GOD'S love is unfailing; 5. GOD'S love is unselfish.

Our text for today tells us about the unconditional nature of the Love of GOD. When we were powerless and filled with the stain of sin, Christ JESUS bridged the gap between death and life, making full atonement for us. We are recipients of the blessed love of GOD. We do not deserve it, we can not earn it, we must receive it. By receiving JESUS as LORD of our Life and GOD of our salvation, we are brought under the Covenant with GOD and man, sealed by the Blood of JESUS. Through JESUS we are reconciled with GOD.

Remember, GOD loves you and it is His nature to love. His love is unconditional, unfailing, unending, and unselfish.
