Margaret Echols (Woman of Grace Facilitator), led a discussion to help us begin to understand the love God has for His children. Knowing how much He loves us puts everything else in order and frees us from bondage, strongholds, and condemnation. God exercised His faith through His love, and Margaret shows us the evidence for this in the following study.
Comprehending the Love of God
- Genesis Chapter 1 - Read the entire chapter
- Focus Verse: 1:26
- Message: God says "Let us make man in our image, Male and Female, to be like us." NLT
- Genesis Chapter 2 - Read verses 1 - 9
- Focus Verse: 2:4 and 2:5
- Message: Man had not manifested yet, nor any of the vegetation at this point although God already planned it. God spoke man into existence by faith, demonstrating for us the power of faith.
- Romans Chapter 1 - Read the entire chapter
- Focus Verse: 1:20 through 1:25
- Message: God has made the truth obvious to man through His creation. Since sinful man refuses to accept God's love, and instead suppress the truth, God abandoned him to do the shameful things his heart desired. NLT
- This further demonstrates that God loves us so, even to the point of allowing us to have what we say we want. He wants us to choose Him, but we have to come to that on our own accord. This same attitude was found in the children of Israel when they wanted a mortal king instead of the one true King. 1 Samuel 8:7
