Listen "God’s Love for You — the Heart of 1 Peter 5 and Why it Matters to You"
Episode Synopsis
The Bible is filled with discussions about God’s love for us.There are so many passages about God’s love for us that it’s hard to know where to start. Thankfully, the book of 1 Peter is one of those books that talks about God’s love for us a lot. 1 Peter 5:6–7 is a great example of that, as it talks about God’s love again in just two verses.“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.”The first thing we have to get clear on is this: God’s love for us is not about us. It’s not about our worth or our value. It’s not about our performance or how much we deserve to be loved. And it’s certainly not dependent on us loving God back.In other words, we can’t do anything to make God love us more or less. His love for us isn’t conditional or based on anything we do.God’s love for us is a fact, not a feeling. Whether or not we feel it or even know it is irrelevant. God’s love for us isn’t about us. It’s about God, who sent His Son to die for us while we were still his enemies.God’s love for us is who He is. It’s the nature of God to love, and His love for us is an extension of that.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/bgodinspired/donations
