God's love is described as being greater than the heavens are above the earth. It is compassionate like a father's love for his children. God's love extends from eternity past into eternity future for those who fear him. God himself is defined as love. He wants the best for people and provides spiritual, emotional, physical, and eternal benefits. God's love is all-consuming, personal beyond comprehension, as demonstrated by Jesus sacrificing his life to save sinners.

1. GOD’S LOVE
Psalms 103

2. I. The description of God's love

3. Psalms 103:8
For as high as the heavens are
above the earth, so great is His
faithful love toward those who
fear Him

4. Psalms 103:13
As a father has compassion
on his children, so the LORD
has compassion on those
who fear Him

5. Psalms 103:17
But from eternity to
eternity the LORD's
faithful love is toward
those who fear Him

6. II. The definition of God's love

7. He is love itself

8. 1 John 4:16
And we have come to know and
to believe the love that God has
for us. God is love, and the one
who remains in love remains in
God, and God remains in him

9. God is love means that God wants the
very best for you. God has your best
interest in mind. He wants to give you
good gifts and provide you with
"all his benefits" (Psalm 103:2, NIV)

10. III. The benefits of God's love

11. A. SPIRITUALLY
• (v. 3, 12)
• Spiritually God's love removes the barrier that
separates us from him by canceling the debt of
our sin so that we can enjoy a loving relationship
with him.
• God's love removes our sins as though
they never existed.

12. B. EMOTIONALLY
• (v. 3)
• Much of our physical and emotional illness is
due to moral failure.
• In removing the sin and guilt from our lives
God's love brings healing to our emotional life.

13. C. ETERNALLY
• (v. 4)
• The pit is the pit of death. God's love rescues us,
fallen humanity, from our own bent on
destruction, and grants us eternal life.

14. E. PHYSICALLY
• (v. 5)
• Like a father he desires to give us good gifts of
strength and endurance.
• Jesus, the embodiment of God's love came
enjoying life, and he wants his children to do the
same.

15. F. JUDICIALLY
• (v. 6)
• Major difference between divine love and love
among people.
• Love is expressed as that virtue that accepts
everything. But, God's love always makes
judgment calls. Divine love hates what is wrong
and embraces what is right.

16. IV. The knowledge of God's love

17. A. God's love is all consuming
•God's love touches every part of
our life.
•There is nowhere we can go to
escape his love.

18. B. God's love is personal
•God is a Person. As a personal
being God is capable of loving and
being loved. And as a personal
being he loves each one of us
intensely personally.

19. •When God says I love you, he
is saying that you matter to
him.
•You are a person of worth.
•You are valuable to him.
Regardless of what others
think, in his eyes you are
wonderful.

20. C. God's love is beyond comprehension
•God knows me and
still loves me.

21. God knows that I am a
sinner, yet he forgives; I am
diseased, yet he heals; I am
in a pit, yet he pulls me
out; I am ungrateful for his
good gifts, yet he gives them
anyway; and I deserve justice,
yet he grants mercy.

22. "No one has greater love than
this, that someone would lay
down his life for his friends"
(John 15:13).

23. "But God proves His own love
for us in that while we were still
sinners Christ died for us!"
(Rom. 5:8)

24. "I love you this much”
