The Boundless Love of Christ

This morning I was reading a book by A.W. Tozer called Knowledge Of The Holy. He said something that struck a note with my thirsty soul. He said,

"The mercy of God is infinite, and the man who has felt the grinding pain of inward guilt knows that this is more than academic. 'Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound'(Rom. 5:20). Abounding sin is the terror of the world, but abounding grace is the hope of mankind."

"Against our deep creature-sickness stands God’s infinite ability to cure.The Christian witness through the centuries has been that ”God so loved the world . . .”; it remains for us to see that love in the light of God’s infinitude. His love is measureless. It is more: it is boundless. It has no bounds because it is not a thing but a facet of the essential nature of God. His love is something He is, and because He is infinite that love can enfold the whole created world in itself and have room for ten thousand times ten thousand worlds beside. "

This, this is the God we adore,

Our faithful, unchangeable Friend,

Whose love is as great as His power,

And neither knows measure nor end.

‘Tis Jesus, the first and the last,

Whose Spirit shall guide us safe home;

We’ praise Him for all that is past,

And trust Him for all that’s to come.

Joseph Hart (Chapter 8, Knowledge Of The Holy)
