“I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.” | Hosea 14: 4

We ARE nothing, we HAVE nothing, and we can DO nothing that would cause God to love us. If God loves me, it will have to be FREELY.

One might ask,
“You love Jesus don’t you?”
“Your love for God counts for something doesn’t it?”
“Your love for Christ must prove something?”

Yes it does!

It proves that,
“He first loved me.”
“I love Him because He first loved me.” (1 John 4: 19)
“If God ever loved me, he loved me FREELY.”

If He ever loved me FREELY, He still loves me FREELY for His free love is eternal, without beginning and without end.

What comfort that is to this sinner who still is nothing, still has nothing, and still can do nothing that would enable me to barter and bargain with God.

Truly, if God would ever love us, it would have to be freely.
