The Pilgrim Path---Jeremiah 31: 3b (2—14—24)

I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.

“…EVERLASTING LOVE”

Our trust in Jesus Christ began in the eternal counsels. An amazing biblical reality. Before we were born---The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit had affection for us. This became real to us in time---at our conversion. When we do not think we will be good enough or holy enough or spiritual enough---The Holy Scripture has lessons for us: Jesus is enough---He is our righteousness---He is faithful---He will keep working on us and get us home!

From John Owen: His love is unchangeable: though we change every day, yet his love does not. It is a distinguishing love: he does not love all the world so. Why should he fix his love on us and pass by millions? Let the soul frequently eye the love of the Father with these considerations. Eye this love by faith. His love is not ours in the sweetness of it until we receive it by faith. Let your mind know it, and assent that it is so; let your will embrace it in its being so; and let all your affections be filled with it…
