Quotes on God’s love

God loves each of us as if there were only one of us. (Augustine)
“My brethren, when God first began to love you, He gave you all that He ever meant to give you in the lump, and eternity of time is that in which He is retailing of it out.” (Thomas Goodwin)
“I think it is possible on earth to build a young, new Jerusalem, a little, new heaven of this surpassing love. God, either send me more of this love, or take me quickly over the water, where I may be filled with his love.” (Samuel Rutherford)
In the very beginning, when this great universe lay in the mind of God, like unborn forests in the acorn-cup; long ere the echoes waked the solitudes, before the mountains were brought forth, and long ere the light flashed through the sky, God loved his chosen creatures. (Spurgeon)
God is love and God is sovereign. His love disposes him to desire our everlasting welfare, and his sovereignty enables him to secure it. (A. W. Tozer)
From God’s other known attributes we may learn much about his love. We can know, for instance, that because God is self-existent, his love had no beginning; because he is eternal, his love can have no end; because he is infinite, it has no limit; because he is holy, it is the quintessence of all spotless purity; because he is immense, his love is an incomprehensibly vast, bottomless, shoreless sea before which we kneel in joyful silence and from which the loftiest eloquence retreats confused and abashed. (A. W. Tozer)
On the whole, God’s love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for him. Nobody can always have devout feelings; and even if we could, feelings are not what God principally cares about. Christian love, either toward God or toward man, is an affair of the will. But the great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, his love for us does not. (C.S. Lewis)
God carries your picture in his wallet. (Tony Campolo)
‘God’s love is always supernatural, always a miracle, always the last thing we deserve.’ (Robert Horn)
‘There is no human wreckage, lying in the ooze of the deepest sea of iniquity, that God’s deep love cannot reach and redeem.’ (J.H. Jowett)
