Jeremiah 31:3 (NIV)
3 The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
No human experience can fully illustrate the imputed
righteousness of God, as conceived by His infinite love. It is a
mystery-incomprehensible and inexplicable. Like the mystery of the sun’s heat
and light, we cannot measure it or explain it, and yet we could not live
without it. Writing of the mystery of completed righteousness, Paul said, “We
speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God
ordained before the world unto our glory. . . . But as it is written, Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things
which God hath prepared for them that love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:7, 9). What
God has wrought in us is wonderful. But His work has just begun. He has a
wonderful, exciting, thrilling future for all of His believing children.
Thought for today:
Have I embraced the fullness of God’s love?
