God's Love: Quotations from Burning Words

We never know through what Divine mysteries of compensation the great Father of the universe may be carrying out His sublime plan; but those three words, "God is love" ought to contain, to every doubting soul, the solution of all things.— D. M. CRAIK

This is the love that does all things; that brings to pass even the evils we suffer; so shaping them that they are but instruments of preparing the good which, as yet, has not arrived.— FENELON

It is no small comfort that God hath written some Scriptures to you which He hath not to others. Read these, and think God is like a friend who sendeth a letter to a whole house and family, but who speaketh in His letter to some by name that are dearest to Him in the house. --— RUTHERFORD

Brother men, one act of charity will teach us more of the love of God than a thousand sermons - one act of unselfishness, of real self-denial, the putting forth of one loving feeling to the outcast and "those who are out of the way," will tell us more of the Epiphany than whole volumes of the wisest writers on theology.— F. W. ROBERTSON

We may be sure that it is the love of God only that can make us come out of self. If His powerful hand did not sustain us, we should not know how to take the first step in that direction.— FENELON

Su- Let us meditate on the love of God, who being supremely happy Himself, communicateth perfect happiness to us. preine happiness doth not make God forget us; shall the miserable comforts of this life make us forget Him?— JAMES SAURIN

God is love and goodness. Fill the soul with goodness, and fill the soul with love, that is the filling it with God. "If we love one another, God dwelleth in us." There is nothing else that can satisfy.— F. W. ROBERTSON

Perchance - He knows - canst thou not trust His love? -— ANNA C. BRACKETT

Pause, fellow-sinner, fellow man, before that wonderful Being that you find now in the manger, now on the cross; follow His wonderful footsteps; dwell on His words; hear His prayers; gaze on His tears, -nay, on His flowing blood, until you fully and firmly believe, never to doubt it, or forget that God loves us when we do not love Him.— E. N. KIRK

Thou lovest like an infinite God when Thou lovest; Thou movest heaven and earth to save Thy loved ones. Thou becomest man, a babe, the vilest of men, covered with reproaches, dying with infamy and under the pangs of the cross; all this is not too much for an infinite love.— FENELON

He weeps! the falling drop puts out the sun; He sighs! the sigh earth's deep foundation shakes. If in His love so terrible, what then His wrath inflamed?— YOUNG

Nothing reveals character more than self-sacrifice. So the highest knowledge we have of God is through the gift of His Son.— WILLIAM HARRIS

We love Him, because He first loved us. Such was God's original love for man, that He was willing to stoop to any sacrifice to save him; and the gift of a Saviour was the mere expression of that love.— ALBERT BARNES

You have nothing to do but simply to receive the everlasting love of God in Christ His Son, which was without you, which began before you, which flows forth independent of you, which is unchecked by all our sins, which triumphs over all our transgressions, and which will make us - loveless, selfish, hardened, sinful men - soft and tender and full of Divine perfection, by the communication of its own self. Chance and change are busy ever; Man decays, and ages move; But His mercy waneth never; God is wisdom, God is love.— BOWRING

As the Creator and Preserver of men, Thou art gloriously manifest; but O! how much more gloriously art Thou revealed as reconciling ungrateful enemies to Thyself by the blood of Thy eternal Son. Here Thy beneficence displays its brightest splendor; here Thou dost fully display Thy most magnificent titles; THE LORD, The Lord GOD, merciful and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in goodness. How unsearchable are Thy ways, and Thy paths past finding out!— ELIZABETH ROWE

If I were to live to the world's end, and do all the good that man can do, I must still cry, "Mercy!" Why then should I be unwilling or afraid to die this moment, with a sense of God's pardoning love, when I can have no other claim to salvation if I were to live forever?— THOMAS ADAMS
