The Extravagant Love of God
Study The Word
2 Corinthians 13:14 TPT
Now, may the grace and joyous favor of the Lord Jesus Christ, the unambiguous love of God, and the precious communion that we share in the Holy Spirit be yours continually. Amen!
Beyond the enabling power of grace, we are enveloped by the extravagant love of God. This isn’t a fleeting emotion, but a profound, active reality that transforms our consciousness. Our study of the word “love” here, agape, unveils its multifaceted nature.
ἀγάπη agapē love- affectionate & humble, patient & kind, giving & forgiving, eternal – unchanging & unending, unconditional & reliable active benevolent love of God; Benevolence of God.
The love of God is an action; it is a verb. It is not a feeling. It’s affectionate and humble, patient and kind, giving and forgiving. This is the love of God! My consciousness must be that God gives to me and He forgives me. He is patient and kind with me. He is affectionate towards me. These are the thoughts that come to my mind when I think of what God thinks about me.
God’s love for us is eternal. This means it is unchanging, unending, and also unconditional. This is your God! This magnificent love permeates and inundates every area of your life. You are enveloped and inundated with the manifestation of the love of God upon your life.
When people look at your life, the testimony will be, “Look at him, look at her, the one that God loves!” They will say, “This one is loved by God.” They will see the love of God upon your life. This is the will of God for you, the perfect will of God for your life. They will recognize that only those things happen to only those whom God loves. They’ll be like, “Oh wow, God loves this person, God loves this brother, God loves this sister, this can only happen if God loves you!” Hallelujah!
Pray The Word
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unconditional and unambiguous love that is at work in my life. Thank You that Your love is affectionate, humble, patient, kind, giving, and forgiving, and that it is eternal, unchanging, and unending. I embrace Your love that permeates every aspect of my life.
Speak The Word
I am loved by God! The unconditional and unambiguous love of God is upon my life. I am loved by God! His love is evident and abundant in every area of my life, and people see His love upon me
