                        Water that comes over a waterfall will flow 

                                  
ROARING OVER THE EDGE
THE WATER FALLS
OVER 
RUSHING DOWN
PUMMELLING
SPLASHING
AND
ITS 
ENERGY 
BOILS INTO
WHITE FOAMY WAVES
AT THE FOOT
WHERE THE 
WATER TUMBLES.

GOD'S LOVE
IS LIKE WATER
IN THE CHANNEL
BEING GUIDED
DOWN 
TO THE PLACE
WHERE IT CAN
BRING REFRESHMENT
AND 
RENEWAL
AND 
RESTORATION.


                                        

GOD’S LOVE

By Wm. Henry Cash, Jr.  9ct 8, 1969

 BASIC TEXT:   I JOHN 3.1 – 3

INTRODUCTION:  

The Apostle John is called the Beloved Apostle.  

He wrote of God’s love in both

the Gospel and his Epistles.  

He is the Diciple whom Jesus loves. 

John 13.23; 19.26; 20.2   

 -----------

I John 3.1 – 3

3.1 Behold, what manner of love

the Father hath bestowed upon us, 

that we should be called the sons of God: 

therefore the world knoweth us not, 

because it knew him not.

.2  Beloved, now are we the sons of God,

 and it doth not yet appear 

what we shall be, but we know that, 

when he shall appear, 

we shall be like him, 

for we shall see him as he is.  

3.3  And every man 

that hath this hope in him 

purifieth himself, 

even as He is pure.


John 8.12

"I am the light of the world, he 

that followeth me shall not 

walk in darkness, but shall

have the light of life."


  It is the AGAPE –

 divine love of God – that God gives.  

And it is the same AGAPE love

 we are to show to each other. 

Romans 5.8  But God 

commandeth his love loward us, 

in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  

First:       GOD’S LOVE – THE PAST TENSE OF HIS LOVE.

CONSIDER:.  God’s Love Was Bestowed Upon us.

               I John 3. 1

a.BEHOLD -   Whenever God’s 

Word uses the word BEHOLD 

it is a COMMAND 

to look intently and consider

 as important and worthy 

of our time: 

TAKE A CLOSE LOOK.

 B. "SONS OF GOD" – that we should

 be called the Sons of God.

  God not only has given us SPIRITUAL BIRTH 

into his family, he has

 ALSO ADOPTED US as His Legal Sons

 with all the RIGHTS of a son. 

In the Roman Empire – 

only an adopted Son

could receive the rights of inheritance. 

  Being born into the family

 only made one a child of the father. 

  Adoption made the child a SON. 

          ROMANS 8.15 – 17

 15. For ye have not received 

the spirit of bondage again to fear,

 but ye have received 

the Spirit of adoption, 

whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16. The Spirit itself 

beareth witness with our spirit,

 that we are the children of God.

17. And if children, then , heirs,

 heirs of God, 

and joint heirs with Christ: 

if so be that we suffer with him,

 that we may be also glorified together.  


I John 5.11 

And this is the record,

 that God hath

given to us eternal life,

 and this life is in his Son. 

I John 5.12.

 He that hath the Son hath life, 

and he that hath not

 the Son of God hath not life.  

B.  WE BECOME A CHILD OF GOD BY

         THE NEW BIRTH.

      John 3. 1 – 7  

1.   There was a man of the Pharisees 

named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 

2. The same came to Jesus by night,

 and said unto him, Rabbi, we know 

that thou art a teacher, come from God, 

for no man can do these miracles 

that thou doest, except God be with him. 

3. Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.  

4. Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old?

 Can he enter the second time 

Into his mother’s womb, and be born? 

5.  Jesus answered, Verily,verily, 

I say unto thee, Except a man 

be born of water and the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into

he kingdom of God. 

6. That which is born of the flesh 

is flesh; and that which is 

born of the Spirit is spirit,

7. Marvel not that I say unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.


We all have a physical birth.

To enter heaven,

we need a NEW BIRTH

WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.


 SECOND:   GOD’S LOVE –

 THE PRSENT TENSE OF HIS LOVE. 

        WE HAVE IT NOW.   IT IS OUR POSSESSION.

A.   We are NOW sons of God. 

           I John 3.2  

        Beloved, now 

are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet

appear what we shall be 

but we know that when 

he shall appear, we shall be like him, 

for we shall see him as he is.

B.  WE CAN BE SURE OF OUR SALVATION.

          I JOHN 5.11.12,13

And this is the record, 

that God hath given to us eternal life, 

and this life is in his Son. 

He that hath the Son hath life, 

and he that hath not 

the Son of God hath not life.  

These things have I written 

unto you that believe on the 

name of the son of God, 

that ye may know 

that ye have eternal life, 

and that ye may believe 

on the name of the Son of God.”


CONSIDER:  

GOD SPEAKS OF EVERLASTING LIFE

 AS A PRESENT POSSESSION -  

IT BEGINS THE MOMENT 

WE ARE BORN AGAIN.    

 JOHN 3. 16

     FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD 

THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON 

THAT WHOSOEVER

BELIEVETH IN HIM, 

SHOULD NOT PERISH, 

BUT HAVE 

EVERLASTING LIFE 

  JOHN 5.24

       Verily, verily, I say unto you,

He that heareth my word, 

and believeth on him that sent me

hath everlasting life, 

and shall not come

into condemnation; 

but is passed from death unto life.

           Our privilege and our responsibility

 is to purify 

our selves 

even as He is pure. 

As Sons, we are responsible 

to do the Father’s Will, 

and to be submissive to the Father, 

even as Jesus 

was submissive to His Father.    

           John 5.30 

“I can of mine own self

do nothing: 

as I hear, I judge, 

and my judgment

 is just: because

I seek not mine own will, 

but the will of the Father

 which sent me.

           John 6.38

 For I came down from heaven, 

not to do mine own will,

ut the will of him that sent me. “


       As Sons of the Father, we are to obey the

        Father’s  will.  ROMANS 8.14,15

 14. “For as many 

as are led by the Spirit of God, 

they are the sons of God.  

15. For ye have not received 

the spirit of bondage again to fear: 

but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, 

whereby we cry, Abba Father.”


What child does not say

to his beloved Father,

Daddy, My Daddy!

Abba  in Jesus' day meant

the endearing cry of 

a child for its father.


CONSIDER:   GOD’S LOVE IS FULLY GOD’S LOVE – 

NOTHING ON OUR PART DESERVES HIS LOVE.

    IT IS THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST 

AND HIS FINISHED WORK 

ON THE CROSS

 WHICH PROVIDES GOD’S LOVE TO US.  

            I John 2.2  

And he is the propitiation 

for our sins,

 and not for our sins only, 

but for the sins

of the whole world.  

 

THIRD:   GOD’S LOVE –

THE FUTURE TENSE 

OF HIS LOVE.      

1 John 3.2  “when he

shall appear, we shall be like him,

or we shallsee him as he is.”

Philippians 1.6 being confident

of this very thing that he that

hath begun a good work in you

shall perform it until

the day of Christ.

GOD’S ULTIMATE GOAL IS THAT WE ARE TO BE IN THE LIKENESS OF JESUS.

Romans 8.28-29

For we know that all things

Work together for good

To those that love God,

To them who are the called

According to his purpose

For whom he did foreknow

He also did predestinate

To be conformed

To the image

Of his Son, that

He might be the firstborn

Among many brethren.

      TITUS 3.5

Not by works of righteousness 

which we have done, 

but according to his mercy

 he saved us,

 by the washing of regeneration, 

and renewing of the Holy Ghost.

WHEN WE ARE 

BORN INTO GOD’S FAMILY,

WE LOVE AS CHRIST LOVED,

AND WE ARE TO GIVE OUR LIVES

 MANIFESTING HIS LOVE 

WITH WHICH HE LOVED US.

ROMAN 5. 8 – 9

But God commandeth his love toward us,

 in that while we were yet sinners,

 Christ died for us, much more then, 

being now justified by his blood, 

we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Romans 5.1 – 8

1.   Therefore being justified by faith, 

we have peace with God

through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2.   By whom also we have access

 by faith into this grace 

wherein we stand, 

and rejoice in hope 

of the glory of God.  

3.   And not only so, 

but we glory in tribulations 

also knowing that tribulation 

worketh patience,

4.   And patience, experience, 

and experience, hope.

5.   And hope maketh not ashamed,

 because the love of God is

 spread abroad in our hearts

 by the Holy Ghost 

which is given unto us.

6.   For when we were yet 

without strength,

 in due time Christ died for the ungodly;

7.   For scarecely for a righteous man 

will one die: yet peradventure,

 for a good man some would 

even dare to die.

8.   But God commandeth 

His Love toward us in

 that while we were yet sinners, 

Christ died for us.

 

    LET US THEN, REJOICE IN GOD’S LOVE.

BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED, 

WE LOVE HIM. 

AND WE LOVE EACH OTHER.

I John 4.19  WE LOVE HIM, BECAUSE

HE FIRST LOVED US.

If we are to manifest the love of

Christ in our lives, we must

give our all to Him today.

 

Romans 13.9,10

9.For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery,

Thou shalt not kill, 

Thou shalt not steal, 

thou shalt not bear false witness, 

thou shall not covet; 

and if there be any other commandment,

 it is briefly comprehended in this saying, 

namely, Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself.

10. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: 

therefore love

 is the fulfilling of the law.

Romans 5.5

And hope maketh not ashamed,

Because the love of God is

Spread abroad in our hearts

by the Holy Ghost

which is given unto us.

 

What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Jesus loves

This I know - 

For the Bible 

tells me so

Little ones to Him belong

They are weak

but He is strong 

Yes, Jesus Loves Me

Yes, Jesus Loves Me,

Yes, Jesus Loves Me

The Bible tells me so!

Jesus Loves me 

! He who died

Heaven's gates 

to open wide;

He will wash away my sin,

Let His little child come in ! 

Yes, Jesus Loves me!

Yes, Jesus Loves me!

Yes, Jesus Loves me! 

The Bible tells me so. 

 

 


 

 if no one tells me

Jesus loves me 

how will I ever know?

if no one shares that 

God loves me 

I will never know. 

I thank the Lord 

that someone came 

to tell me God loves me,

and now 

I share it here 

to Thee.
