TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. - Jeremiah 31:3

​Memorize this Verse:
​3. T L H A O O U M S Y I H L T W A E L T W L H I D T

Notes on verse:

Restoration would follow the judgment of exile because the Lord loved Israel with “an everlasting love” for them. The word lovingkindness literally means “loyal love”, the kind of love that never ends (Mal. 1:2). Paul also affirms that nothing can “separate us from the love of God” (Rom. 8:39).

God’s love is the agape type of love. You and I love because of something. God loves in spite of the fact we do not deserve to be loved. While we were yet in sin, God sent the Savior. God’s love is unconditional love. God’s love for mankind is a mystery. His love is just as strong for us today, as it was the day He created us. God draws us to Him. The Holy Spirit woos us or draws us, because God wants to save us. This is what Jesus says about that drawing.

John 6:44 “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
