“Beloved, the love of God to you has never changed. He could not love you more, He will not love you less.
The Lord’s love will never vary. O, believe it, my brethren, it is still the same.
Whatever may happen to you, or through whatever trials you may pass, with the self-same love wherewith He hath loved you He will love you world without end.
In life, in death, and in eternity, ye are the beloved of the Lord who changes not. That same love which had no beginning shall never know an end.
If it were in my power only to make my brethren realize the fact that they are thus loved it would elevate them, comfort them, and set them all in a blaze with love to God.
Think it over, and then say each one to himself:
“Jehovah, the Eternal, Self-existent One, loves me; Jesus, the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, loves me; the Holy Spirit, the Wonderworker, the Comforter, the Illuminator, loves me; what bliss is this!”
O, you would not want a sermon if you realized this; you would far rather need a place wherein to weep and to sing, and mix tears and songs together as you bathed in unspeakable delight!”
–Charles H. Spurgeon, “Miracles of Love,” in The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Sermons, vol. 19 (London: Passmore & Alabaster, 1873), 19: 258.
