—Jeremiah 31:1-5
by: Dale Rood.
Is the love of God just a New Testament thing, while the justice of God is Old Testament? Hardly! Verse 3 is one of the most quoted verses in scripture. God is telling Israel that his love for them is everlasting; it is forever; it will never stop. Moreover it is with loving-kindness that God has drawn his people to him. God's love has always been there; it's just that in Jesus his love is finally fully revealed and becomes available to all people everywhere. It's with love that he woos us to himself, and his love will never be withdrawn from us.
