Text: Deuteronomy 7
10 March 2024

THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD

That the LORD loved Israel was unquestionable. His love could be easily seen in the way He manifested it.

6 “For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. 

7 The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; 

8 but because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.      Deuteronomy 7:6-8
