Jehovah Saints Church: The Love of God
At Jehovah Saints Church in Kasur, Pakistan, Pastor Jamil Masih delivered a powerful sermon on one of the most profound and transformative truths in the Bible: the love of God. His message reminded us that God’s love is not only unconditional but also life-changing, offering hope, healing, and redemption to all who receive it.
The love of God is the foundation of our faith and the heart of the gospel. As Pastor Jamil shared, understanding and experiencing God’s love is essential for living a life that reflects His grace and truth. Below are some key points from the sermon, along with scriptures that illuminate the depth and power of God’s love.
1. God’s Love is Unconditional
Pastor Jamil began by emphasizing that God’s love is not based on our performance, achievements, or worthiness. Instead, it is freely given, even when we fall short.
Scripture:
Romans 5:8: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”This verse reminds us that God loved us at our lowest point, proving that His love is not earned but freely given.
Jeremiah 31:3: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.”God’s love is eternal and unchanging, a constant source of comfort and assurance in our lives.
2. God’s Love is Sacrificial
Pastor Jamil highlighted the ultimate demonstration of God’s love: the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, for the salvation of humanity.
Scripture:
John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”This verse is the cornerstone of our faith, showing that God’s love is so great that He gave His only Son to save us.
1 John 4:9-10: “This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”God’s love is active and sacrificial, reaching out to us even when we are undeserving.
3. God’s Love Transforms Our Lives
Pastor Jamil encouraged the congregation to allow God’s love to transform their hearts and lives. When we experience His love, it compels us to love others and live in obedience to His will.
Scripture:
2 Corinthians 5:14-15: “For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.”God’s love inspires us to live selflessly and serve others, reflecting His character in the world.
1 John 4:19: “We love because he first loved us.”Our ability to love others flows directly from the love God has shown us.
4. God’s Love is Our Foundation in Times of Trouble
Pastor Jamil reminded the congregation that God’s love is a source of strength and hope, even in the most challenging times.
Scripture:
Romans 8:38-39: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”No matter what we face, God’s love is unshakable and ever-present.
Psalm 36:7: “How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.”God’s love is a refuge and a source of peace during life’s storms.
5. Sharing God’s Love with Others
Pastor Jamil concluded the sermon by challenging the congregation to share God’s love with the world. As recipients of His grace, we are called to be His hands and feet, demonstrating His love to those in need.
Scripture:
Matthew 22:37-39: “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.’”Loving God and loving others are inseparable; they are the greatest commandments.
Galatians 6:10: “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”God’s love calls us to action, to serve and uplift those around us.
Final Thoughts
Pastor Jamil’s sermon on the love of God was a powerful reminder of the depth, breadth, and transformative power of His love. At Jehovah Saints Church, we are committed to living out this love by serving the homeless, the poor, and the needy, bringing hope and healing to those in need.
Let us all take to heart the words of 1 Corinthians 13:13: “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” May we continue to grow in God’s love and share it with the world, reflecting His glory in all that we do.
