GOD'S LOVE DEFINED
Ephesians 3:17-18 (KJV) That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
In 1 John 4:10, the Bible gives us a clear definition of God's love: āHerein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.ā So, when we speak of Godās love, it has nothing to do with Him performing miracles. You cannot say that God loved the world because Jesus did miracles. The one thing that distinguishes the love of God from every other expression of love is that He sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Hallelujah!
Therefore, in our theme scripture when we speak of the breadth, length, depth, and height of that love, we are simply going deeper into the realities of the cross and the blood of Jesus. That's why, of all the things Jesus did while on earth, He asked us to remember Him for only one thing, that He gave His life for us. He walked on water, raised the dead, and performed many wonders worth remembering, yet He pointed us only to His death.
Child of God, the Lord Jesus wants us to remember Him for something that Moses, Abraham, or David could never do: that God sent His only begotten Son to be the propitiation for our sins. That is the true definition of His love for us. Glory to God!

CONFESSION
Thank You, Father, for the true definition of Your love. It is not that You healed me, provided for me, or promoted me. Your love is that You sent Your Son to be the propitiation for my sins. I am who I am today because Jesus laid down His life for me. I rest in the breadth, length, depth, and height of that love by growing in my knowledge of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Jesusā name, Amen.
