Allegiance, to Who? (I)

We love Him, because He first loved us. I John 4:19

Bible Reading: Romans 8:35-39

God is a loving God. The motive behind God’s fellowship, relationship, redemption plan among others is simply love. Love is about allegiance. When you love someone or something, you are simply saying that you have pledged your allegiance to that person. Hence, you do not want to hurt, annoy or do something evil to such a person. God does not only love us but He gave us the opportunity to love Him in return. God’s allegiance is seen from the beginning of the Bible till the end. His preservation, relationship, discipline and correction among others.

Paul’s declaration seemed like a sudden realization— he searched, pondered and finally concluded that nothing can really separate us from God’s love. He emphasized that God’s allegiance to humanity is a product of His love. Since love is about making, God intentionally made man in His image/likeness and gave man dominion over all things. Even when man lost this dominion, He strategized and restored man’s dominion through His son Christ Jesus. Everything points to that fact that God’s allegiance to man is simply‚ “love that is unfathomable. Understanding this truth gives us peace and confidence in Christ Jesus.

Self-Reflection: For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life.

Action Point: Study on God’s love

Daily Confession: Jesus, I thank You for Your love; I take glory in the truth that Your banner over me is love (Songs of Solomon 2:4)

Intercessory prayer: May your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

Hymn: Wonderful story of love
