T here is a chorus that we sang from time to time, and its words went some-thing like this “It’s love, it’s love, it’s love that makes the world go round. So pass it on so pass it on to every one, so pass it on so pass it on to every one. It’s love that makes the world go round.” Yet this is one of the most important commodities that our society lacks today. Far too often children become casualties as a re-sult of loveless marriages. A young girl was asked during a counseling session who showed her the greatest love in her home. Her reply was “MY DOG” The problem with many folk is that they have never ever experi-enced the love of GOD. They have never understood or accepted the fact that God redeemed mankind through His perfect love. So what I am about to write is a true reflection of God’s word.
Firstly we see that God’s love is a divine love John 15: 9 “I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.”
Then we see that God’s love is a sacrificial love. John 15: 13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” This is exactly what Jesus did for us. When Jesus stood in Pilot’s judgment hall, He saved us from standing in God’s judgment hall, because He considered us to be His friends.
God’s love is also a constraining love. 2nd Cor. 5: 14 “Whatever we do, it is because Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for everyone, we also believe that we have all died to the old life we used to live.” What more can we say? Except that Jesus became our mediator. When He stood in the gap between God and man and justified us through the shedding of His precious blood, Jesus paid the penalty for our sins. His redemptive power made it possible for us to become the “HEIRS OF SALVATION” Hallelujah what a Saviour.

“It is finished” were the last words Jesus spoke as He hung on the cross.
