What God’s Love Can’t Do | Billy Graham | #DailyDevotional
God cannot forgive the unrepentant sinner. The human race is called on throughout the Bible to repent of sin and return to God. This love of God can be entirely rejected.
God will not force Himself upon any man against his will. A person can hear a message about the love of God and say, “No, I won’t have it,” and God will let him go on in his sin to eternity without God.
Francis Schaeffer wrote, “So often people think that Christianity is only something soft, only a kind of gooey love that loves evil equally with good. This is not the biblical position. The holiness of God is to be exhibited simultaneously with love.”
No matter what sin we have committed, no matter how terrible it may be, God loves us.
When I think about God’s love I tend to dwell upon all the good and great things He has done for me. Then I must stop and realize that even when circumstances don’t look too bright, God’s love still shines. I cannot hide from His love, nor can I escape it.
Shortly after my mother’s companion, Rose Adams, lost her husband, Mother wrote a note to her. She said: “Dear precious one: When this storm shall pass, the brightness for which He is preparing you will appear unclouded and it shall be Himself.”
