GOD’S DESCRIPTION OF LOVE, Part 23 - LOVE HOPES ALL THINGS

The love that believes all things is the same love that hope all things. What has believing all things and hoping all things got to do with the love that God sheds abroad in our hearts? The answer is that believing and hoping all things has everything to do with God’s love dwelling in us.

The truth is that God’s love is the antidote for all things, all situations, and all people throughout all generations.

This great love is the motivating force behind the great commission to “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world” (Matthew 28:19, 20).

God’s love for all things, His belief for all things, His hope things is not exclusive; rather it is inclusive of all mankind.

God’s love motivates the belief of all things that every created human creature can be saved; that all mankind can have an eternal hope burning inside their hearts; that hope is an anchor, both sure and steadfast, that enters beyond the veil into the immediate presence of God’s glory (Hebrews 6:19). God’s love in us is not selfish. It is not exclusive, but all-inclusive to all mankind.

God’s love gives freely to all mankind a system of belief that all things are possible with God. His love provides all mankind who exercise this belief a hope which is more solid than any man-made anchor. This hope, according to the Scriptures, is indescribable, beyond our wildest imagination.

Isaiah 64:4: “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, Oh God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.” Read also Psalm 31:19; Psalm 107:8, 15, 21, 31; and 1 Corinthians 2:9).
