The Scriptures reveal that God is infinite, eternal and wholly unapproachable. No wonder the ancient Hebrews pleaded with Moses, “…’Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die'” (Exodus 20:19). Yet, the Scriptures also declare that He is a God of love. Jeremiah 31:3 declares, “The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” Romans 5:8 declares,
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8
Lord, given our repeated failures it is often hard to believe You really love us. Help us to believe. Amen.
