Kingdom Living is Receiving God’s Intense Love
Kingdom Living is Receiving God’s Intense Love
How is God’s great, wonderful and intense love satisfied which HE has for you?
Ephesians 2:3-5 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
3 Among these we as well as you once lived and conducted ourselves in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by our corrupt and sensual nature], obeying the impulses of the flesh and the thoughts of the mind [our cravings dictated by our senses and our dark imaginings]. We were then by nature children of [God’s] wrath and heirs of [His] indignation, like the rest of mankind.
4 But God—
so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us,
5 Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation).
God’s love is intense. How is HIS Intense LOVE satisfied for mankind?
- God’s intense Love is satisfied when HIS CHILDREN believe and trust HIM completely with ALL their heart.
- God’s intense love is satisfied when HIS CHILDREN desire to be alone with HIM.
- God’s intense love is satisfied when HIS CHILDREN LOVE with the same intensity as HE has loved them.
- God’s intense love is satisfied when HIS CHILDREN forgive as HE has forgiven us through the blood of Jesus Christ.
- God’s intense love is satisfied when HIS CHILDREN demonstrate mercy as God has so richly given us mercy which we do not deserve.
- God’s intense love is satisfied when HIS CHILDREN receive the gift of salvation and righteousness in Christ Jesus.
God has expressed HIS intense love to bring us into relationship with HIM as our FATHER in HIS FAMILY. Everything is wrapped up in a relationship with God in Christ Jesus revealed through the Holy Spirit living in us now.
God’s will is that all mankind experiences HIS intense love every day.
