But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,…
We must understand to whom we have been called, a God that is rich in mercies in that He sent His only begotten son as an atonement for those who did not deserve it. He does not withhold anything good from us because He ever thinks we do not deserve it. Instead, by His mercies, He vetoes His love into our lives. That’s how much willing and far this God can go for us. There will never be an exaggeration in how much we talk about the love of God toward us. Just imagine, a mighty and all sufficient King and Creator decides just as much to rescue a creature that has decided to go rogue.
The mercies of God are sure to those who will truly turn to Him in heart and indeed. Because His mercies are ever sure, we can boast in the fact that, The LORD God, Creator of the universe loves us. We could never exhaust His loving kindness, but should that be our aim? Should our aim not be to try and reciprocate this lavishly display of vulnerability? Truly, The LORD is not vulnerable, and it is in our interest when we make it our life’s mission to attempt to love Him as He loves us.
May Grace be multiplied toward us all in our affection for The LORD.
Amen
