God's Love is Unbounded

Narrator: Chris Genthree
Listen from:
I passed from death to life from bondage in sin, to liberty in Christ; from the kingdom of Satan, into the kingdom and joyful service of the Son of God, on a Saturday afternoon. I had been troubled about my soul—sometimes very much troubled.
I had gone to hear sermons preached, but nothing that I heard seemed to meet my case. I thought I must feel love to God, and be worthy of being loved by Him, before I could be saved. I must have been taught this in my early days, for it was firmly embedded in my mind, In the quiet of the Spring afternoon, I walked out to the park. A copy of a little book entitled,
“The Soul and its Difficulties,” given. me by a friend, was in my hand, and I opened it in the hope that I might find something to help me, The first words my eyes fell on were these,
“It is not how much. I love God, but how much He loves me. My love to God is as nothing. God’s love to me is vast, unbounded.”
Could that be true? Yes, the Bible says,
Not that we loved God, but that He loved us.” 1 John 4:1010Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10). I rested in God’s love to me, and I was saved through Christ, my blessed Saviour.
“God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom. 5:88But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8).
