The dispensation of the love of God!

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9

The definition of dispensation is “a system of order or government”. Jesus created a new order for the relationship between God and humanity through the act of dying on the cross.

The love of God is no longer governed by laws, works, or religion. Those activities died with Jesus on the cross and have no effect in gaining the favor of God.

 

The love of God is dispensed to you through your faith in Christ Jesus, the Son of God. The gift of eternal life is freely given to you out of the love of God and has nothing to do with your efforts. You cannot boast because you are unworthy of this gift and can do nothing to earn or justify this gift.

Justification with God is by faith!

You have been judged and found guilty. You can only be restored to God by the blood of Jesus and walking by faith with your Creator. Faith is believing in the promises of God and trusting Jesus for your every need. Faith is believing God calls things that don’t exist as if they did.

Faith is living in the Word of God and never judging God by your circumstances. Faith is committing your works each day to God and living in oneness with Him through the Holy Spirit.

When you think about God’s love, remember you are a hopeless and lost soul and can do nothing without the life of Jesus living in you. Come to God with a humble and contrite heart with praise for His greatness and glory!
