The Power of (God's) Love

In Death, In Life, I'm Confident and Covered by
the Power of Your great Love...

The Above is half of the bridge of the song "One Thing Remains." One of the main themes of this song is that God's love is powerful. But how can we know that? Can we know that love is powerful, and if so, is God's love? I believe so.

In all the world, there is perhaps no subject that is more talked about than love. Possibly religion defeats it in this respect, but I personally doubt that anything else does. There are at least ten movies, twenty-seven songs, and one computer game called love. In addition, at least eighty percent of the rest of media is based on love. I would consider that to be pretty powerful.

Unfortunately, there is no one verse in the Bible that says "God's Love is Powerful." As a result, we will have to go through this the hard way. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." Romans 8:38-39 states Paul's belief "that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." These verses show the power of God's love, to break through any obstacle and to redeem Mankind.

In addition, there is the evidence in human lives. It would take a lot of power to convince somebody to leave their home, give up all modern technology, and risk their life to tell a group of people something that many of them probably couldn't care less about, but there are many people out there who do just that because of God's love; They're called missionaries. Every one of us is called to let God's love change us, and to live out His love in our lives. That is my challenge to you.
