GOD'S LOVE FOR US

God's Love For Us The Bible teaches us that God's Love for us is everlasting, which means that His Love for us is eternal, steadfast and unconditional. Just as it is written in the book of Isaiah 54:10 which states that, For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast Love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you. In Psalm 103:11 shows God's love towards those who fear him which states that, For as the heavens are high above the earth so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him. God's Love Is Unconditional. God's Love for us is unconditional it is not conditional on whether a person is "good" or "worthy". It is a Love that does not end no matter what a person does. In Romans 5:8 it states that, But God shows his Love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. This verse shows that this act of Love ...

God's Healing Power I believe that God is a healer who heals and restores physical, spiritual and mental well being through faith, prayer and divine intervention. Faith: Faith is Trusting and believing in God and his promises, it's not just as a feeling but as a profound conviction and the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, as it is written in the book of Hebrews 11:1-3 that says, Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the men of old received divine approval. 3 By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear. Prayer: Prayer is an act of communicating with God, surrounding a conversation of speaking and listening that includes praise, confession, thanksgiving, and asking for needs. It is an act of worship that promotes a deeper relationship with God and involves expressing humility,...
