God loves us! His love is an
“everlasting love” and compels Him to act strongly and lovingly on our behalf. The
Father will never allow us to part from Him or our Savior. “Behold, what manner
of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of
God” In His grace, we come to Him, experiencing sweet forgiveness and
everlasting love. Cradled in the security of His undying love, we have peace.
BY JOHN D. MORRIS, PH.D.
“The LORD hath
appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting
love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” - (Jeremiah 31:3)
Perhaps no doctrine in Scripture is as clearly stated as that
expressed in our text and in many other passages.
God loves us!
His love is an “everlasting love” and compels Him
to act strongly and lovingly on our behalf. “Herein is love, not that we
loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for
our sins” (1 John 4:10).
This theme finds glorious expression in the grand hymn of
the 19th century entitled “I Am His, and He Is Mine.”
Loved with everlasting love, Led by grace that love to
know;
Spirit, breathing from above, Thou hast taught me it is
so!
In a love which cannot cease, I am His and He is mine.
Jesus prayed, “I in them, and thou in me… that the
world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved
me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I
am” (John 17:23-24).
The Father will
never allow us to part from Him or our Savior.

These precious facts are taught to us by the “inspired” (literally “God-breathed”) Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16), and “the Comforter… the Spirit of truth [who] will guide [us] into all truth” (John 16:7, 13).

unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself” (Ephesians 1:4-5).

The Institute for
Creation Research (ICR) wants people to
know that God’s Word can be trusted in everything it speaks about—from how
and why we were made, to how the universe was formed, to how we can know God
and receive all He has planned for us.
After
50 years of ministry, ICR remains a leader in scientific research within the
context of biblical creation. Founded by Dr. Henry Morris in 1970, ICR exists
to conduct scientific research within the realms of origins and Earth history,
and then to educate the public both formally and informally through
professional training programs, through conferences and seminars around the
country, and through books, magazines, and media presentations.
