There have been many love songs written in almost every genre. There are love songs written about man loving God and God loving man. Songs such as, Oh How He Loves Us, You’re Amazing, There Is No Greater Love, Unconditional Love, Your Love, What Kind Of Love Is This, and so many more remind us of love’s powerful impact on our lives.
The Bible talks about God’s love for us throughout the scriptures. But is there one word that can describe His love? No. God’s love is unexplainable, indescribable, uncontainable, untamable, immeasurable, incomparable, and unchangeable – to borrow from a song. Think about all He has done for us to show His love. His love outweighs anything and anyone. It’s a never-ending love that continues throughout history, from one generation to the next, every day, week, month, and year. No matter what we have done, no matter how bad or ugly it was, or even is, God’s love for us will never end.
The best one-word description for God’s love is “Agape.” This word appears in the original Greek translation of John 3:16. Agape (pronounced ah-gah-pay) is a Greek word that traditionally means a selfless, unconditional love. It’s the love that God has for man. It’s a love that we cannot earn, nor can we diminish. It’s a love that shows empathy; extends the desire for good to the beloved; wants the best; extends help, demonstrates good intentions; and is intended for everyone. It’s a love that represents the highest form of intimacy. It’s a love filled with kindness and no expectation of being reciprocated.
Here is a song I thought God would sing about His love:
I no longer call you servant, but friend.
Because of the great love I have for you, I had my only begotten son lay down His life for you, while you were yet sinners.
I have lavished so much great love on you that you shall be called my children.
My compassion, which fails not, shows I am slow to anger (longsuffering towards you), abundant in great love, faithfulness, mercy, and truth, which are new every morning.
You have been delivered from the depths and the realm of the dead; you shall not be consumed.
My love endures forever.
Nothing can ever separate you from my love.
Neither death, life, angels, rulers, the present, the future, powers on earth, or hell, or in the sky, high places, low places, no fear of today, worries of tomorrow, nothing in all creation, nor anything you have done.
Even if the mountains depart and the hills be removed, my love and peace shall not be removed.
I have and will continue to love you with an everlasting love.
My love is unconditional forever.
For I am LOVE, there is no greater love than I.
