"Love Without End, Amen"

by Dewey Fox

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" ( John 3:16 NASB).

The Bible has a lot to say about love, especially in the New Testament.

Let us look at some of the verses.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1 John 4:8 RV)

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 RV)

God has communicated His love to us, so in return He commands us to love one another.

A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. (John 13:34 RV)

We are united in and by the love of Jesus. – Nothing Else!

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. (John 13:35 RV)

When anyone says they love God, but hate their brother or sister, the love of God is not in them. You can only read the Bible to get this understanding. Just follow Jesus and what He did when here on earth. For Jesus has a never ending love for you and I. Amen.

Country singer George Strait sings a song entitled, "Love without End, Amen." It tells the story of a young boy coming home from school after having a fight and expecting punishment from his dad. Fully expecting the wrath of his father, the son waited, expecting the worst. However, the father said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love ...Daddies don't just love their children every now and then ...it's a love without end. Amen."

The young lad grew up and passed this secret on to his children. One day he dreamed that he died and went to heaven. He was concerned, as he waited to go in, because he realized there must be some mistake for if they knew half the things he's done they would never let him in. It was then that he heard his father's words again, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love ...Daddies don't just love their children every now and then ...it's a love without end. Amen."

I don’t listen to country music and I don’t know about the theology of this song, but it’s the message I want you to get……..it’s a love without end. Amen.

Isn't it comforting to know that we have a Father like this? It is no secret, concerning our Father's love: God doesn't just love His children every now and then; indeed, it is a "love without end, Amen."
