The Lord has appeared of old unto me, saying,
"Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;
therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you."
Jeremiah 31:3
There can be no new thought in the mind of GOD.
New thoughts, new feelings, new plans,
new resolutions continually occur to OUR
mind—for ours is but a . . .
poor,
fallen,
fickle,
changeable nature.
But God has no new—thoughts, feelings, plans or
resolutions. For if He had, He would be a 'changeable'
Being—not one great, eternal, unchangeable 'I Am'.
All His thoughts, therefore, all His plans, all His ways
are like Himself . . .
eternal,
infinite,
unchanging,
unchangeable.
The love of Christ to His Church is also—eternal,
unchanging, unchangeable. And why? Because
He loves as Deity.
O what a mercy it is for those who have any gracious,
experimental knowledge of the love of Christ—to believe
it is from everlasting to everlasting—that no incidents of
time, no storms of sin or Satan, can ever change or alter
that eternal love—but that it remains now and will
remain the same to all eternity!
Be the first to react on this!
