Whom Does God Love? - www.farmersmarketmusic.com.

I grew up in a strong family. Whatever challenges I presented to my parents, their love was unfailing. I made life quite difficult for them at times, but I never forfeited their love.

But God's love had to be different. It wasn't that God couldn't love me with all my faults. It was that if He allowed those faults, it would be intolerable. If God even knew my shortcomings, my failures and flaws, and loved me with them, there wouldn't be any hope. I couldn't expect to change, to be better.

The King Whom God Loved – Solomon

The Bible is blunt: God is incapable of loving or accepting anything imperfect, anything evil. And that is when it hit me. At this time in my life, I started in many ways to be born anew.

Hebrews NKJV - For whom the Lord loves He chastens, - Bible Gateway!

It isn't always easy to put off what is ungodlike, but the results are well worth the effort. The eternal Christ, which Jesus' life illustrated, was making clear to me that God knows man--knows me--as His spiritual and perfect image.

There is nothing hidden from Him. Jesus Christ, is God's unique and eternal Son. He came into this sin-cursed world and actively partook in our sufferings.

Even as we are flesh and blood, He shared in the same. In doing so He took our sins away, effectively nailing them to the cross with Himself. Thus, He who knew no sin became sin for us 11 and He who gave life to all, tasted death for those condemned to it.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him" John 3: Jesus Christ loved the world so much that He gave everything for it, from His rights and privileges as the unique eternal Son of God, to His very life! If you want to see the love of God, look to the cross. Notice that a key phrase in the dictionary definition of love is the phrase "based on. How many times have you heard or said, "I love you because you are cute;" or "I love you because you take good care of me;" or "I love you because you are fun to be with"?

Our love is not only conditional, it is also mercurial. We love based on feelings and emotions that can change from one moment to the next. The divorce rate is extremely high in today's society because husbands and wives supposedly stop loving one another-or they "fall out of love".

They may go through a rough patch in their marriage, and they no longer "feel" love for their spouse, so they call it quits. Evidently, their marriage vow of "till death do us part" means they can part at the death of their love for their spouse rather than at their physical death.

Can anyone really comprehend "unconditional" love? It seems the love that parents have for their children is as close to unconditional love as we can get without the help of God's love in our lives. We continue to love our children through good times and bad, and we don't stop loving them if they don't meet the expectations we may have for them. We make a choice to love our children even when we consider them unlovable; our love doesn't stop when we don't "feel" love for them.

This is similar to God's love for us, but as we shall see, God's love transcends the human definition of love to a point that is hard for us to comprehend.
