The Love of God, Part 1

Open the Bible UK Broadcast

Welcome to this episode of Open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith. Today, we delve into the profound subject of the love of God. Colin highlights that the love given to human beings far surpasses that given to insects, birds, or animals, reflecting the unique capacity of human beings. He explores this deep love and its eternal nature, emphasising that for all eternity, we'll continue discovering the breadth, length, depth, and height of God's love.

In this episode, Pastor Colin takes us to Romans, Chapter 5, to understand how we can know and enjoy God's love. He discusses two marvellous aspects of the love of God: its demonstration historically through Christ's sacrifice (Romans 5:8) and its experience now, poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). These twin truths highlight that God's love is both a truth to be believed and a gift to be experienced and enjoyed.

Pastor Colin beautifully articulates how God's love touches every part of our lives, much like perfume filling every corner of a house. This pervasive love is brought into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, which empowers us to grasp and cherish this divine affection deeply. So, as you listen, we invite you to turn to Romans, Chapter 5, and especially verse 5, to fully immerse yourself in understanding and experiencing the love of God.
