How He Loves Us

He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realise just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me

-David Crowder Band

That song, How He Loves Us, is one of my favorite songs, and I literally sing at the top of my lungs when this song comes on the radio, or even right now when I am writing this post. The reason this song really plucks at my heartstrings is that it is sooooooo amazing how much God actually loves us and cares for our well-being.

John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The most famous verse of the bible right there, by far, because that verse shows just How He Loves Us. Lets break it down, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son".....What exactly does that mean? Well, I think of it as God loved US, you and I, SOOOOOO much that he SACRIFICED his Son, Jesus Christ, but to do what? The other half of the verse says, "....that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have ETERNAL life." That half says in my view that if we fully believe in God and in Christ we will have eternal life, or everlasting life. In other words, we will be GLORIFIED in the kingdom of heaven. Now put that together. God loved US SOOOOOOOOO much that he SACRIFICED his Son to SAVE us from our sins and to be GLORIFIED in the kingdom of heaven.
Think back to the song, How He Loves Us by The David Crowder Band. The song tells us of how much God actually loves and will continue to love us. It tells us that God's LOVE is unimaginable. It is beyond comprehesion. If we tried to comprehend how much he actually loves us, our minds would not be able to grasp on to it. God loves US soooooo much that he let his Son die for our Sins to be washed away, and for us to be glorified in heaven alongside them.

And O how He loves us
Oh, O how He loves us
How He loves us all

He most definitely loves us all indeed!

-Amen
