God
Above me is God; down below me is God; before me is God; behind me is God; all round about me is God. In Him we live, and move, and have our being. Who, as David said, can get himself away, or can escape where God is not? But only believing Christians can say, "If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit." 1 John 4:12,13.
Questions and Answers
QUESTION: What does "He loved them unto the end" mean in John 13:1?
ANSWER: Christ's love is eternal; it cannot cease nor change. It is proved by what He did on the cross (Eph. 5:25). In the present it is shown by what He is doing (Eph. 5:26), in the future by what He will do (Eph. 5:27), and in the glory we will still feast and delight our souls in His love. So here on the journey, until it end, we can count on Him to care for and provide all we need spiritually and temporally. There is no end to His love. "The end" here must, therefore, mean all the way through (Heb. 7:25).
Of Him and His love will we sing,
His praises our tongues will employ,
Till heavenly anthems we bring
In yonder bright regions of joy.
"Yea, I have loved thee
with an everlasting love:
therefore with lovingkindness
have I drawn thee.”
Jer. 31:3
