Who Loves You?

Hope Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem Sermons

Series: The Love of GodScripture: Ephesians 1:3-14 “Christians find it easier to believe that God exists than that God loves them.” Brennan Manning (paraphrasing Basil Hume) “If the love of a father will not make a child delight in him, what will? Put, then, this to the venture: exercise your thoughts upon this very thing, the eternal, free, and fruitful love of the Father, and see if your hearts be not wrought upon to delight in him. … Sit down a little at the fountain, and you will quickly have a farther discovery of the sweetness of the streams. You who have run from him, will not be able, after a while, to keep at a distance for a moment.” John Owen “[Adoption] is the highest privilege that the gospel offers: higher even than justification. … In adoption, God takes us into his family and fellowship—he establishes us as his children and heirs. Closeness, affection and generosity are at the heart of the relationship. To be right with God the Judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by God the Father is a greater.“ J.I. PackerThe post Who Loves You? first appeared on Hope Church PCA.
