[The Love Of God] Steadfast, Irrevocable

DAY 3 OF 5

The Love Of God Is Irrevocable

Have you ever wondered about something that could be done to make the world a better place? To make it more peaceful? Have you asked yourself what it is that makes it such a chaotic place? 

The chaos of the world is because we have shunned the love of God. We have told God that we do not want His love, that we do not want to operate in His love or even experience it. We want to do things our own way, with our own wisdom, and for our own gratitude. That is the reason for all the chaos in the world. Because of this, there is not a single thing we can do as human beings to make the world a peaceful place. It has to be through the love of God, operating in the people of God, to shine with that love of God. A love that is irrevocable, no matter what anyone else does. It does not depend on anything, or anyone, but God Himself.

Human to human love is revocable; we are constantly taking back things we give, say, or do—always revoking things. But heaven to human love is irrevocable. The love of God for us is irrevocable. His love for us is not conditioned; it does not matter what we do or do not do.

Irrevocable is a legal term. It is something that you cannot pull back. It is something beyond recall—binding, changeless, definite, a fact, final, indestructible, permanent, stable, certain, conclusive, ironclad, unavoidable. That is what the love of God is for us. It is based on His character, not our actions.

We often think that when we do something wrong, or make bad decisions, that God no longer loves us, or that His love has changed towards us and He loves us differently now. But the love of God does not work that way. Not only because God is our father, but because it goes against who He is and all of the promises He made us.

His love will never change, and He will never take His love back. This is a truth that we must learn to accept and understand. There is nothing we can do to change it. It is something that God gave us to enjoy and take advantage of for the rest of our lives. His irrevocable love.
