Thinking On The Love Of God

Psalm 48:9 says “We have thought on your steadfast love, O God”… It got me thinking about the love of God this morning. If the author of Psalm 48 is telling us that it is a good thing to think on the love of God, what is it that we should be thinking about exactly?

Romans 5:8 tells us that “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 8:39 tells us that “nothing in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

1 John 4:9-10 says “In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

And 1 John 2:5 tells us “but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected.”

We are to be thinking upon the love of God. The height of God’s love is the crucification of Jesus. When Jesus bore our wrath on the cross, and gave to us eternal life through faith in him; this is the love of God. And this love becomes perfected in us when we are obedient to God’s word out of love for Him who loved us first.
