The Lord is abounding in love!

“The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.” (Psalm 103:8 NIV)

Abounding: to be present in large numbers or in great quantity; to brim, bulge, overflow, swarm, teem.

The Lord not only has love for you, He abounds and overflows with it for you! In fact, the Bible’s most famous verse, John 3:16, proclaims that He loved you so much that He gave his only begotten Son, Jesus, to die for you on the cross, to redeem you from sin and to provide you with everlasting life! According to the Bible, laying down one’s life for another is the “greatest kind of love.”

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.” (John 15:13 NIV)

God demonstrated His abounding love

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Rom. 5:8 NASB)
