Throughout eternity

Indeed, nothing … will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:39 NLT)

Jesus’ love is perfect. There are a lot of things that are nice, beautiful, and wonderful, but nothing is perfect like His love. We live in an imperfect world, with imperfect humans, in imperfect conditions, but His love makes it possible for us to weather everything that comes our way.

Jesus’ love is free. That’s a good thing, too, because we all sin and make mistakes. If we had to earn Jesus’ love, none of us would have it.

Jesus’ love is everlasting. It can’t be stolen or forfeited. It doesn’t get old with the times or go out of style. It is traditional and historic, but also modern and current. It is always. He has loved us from the very beginning of time, and He will love us throughout eternity. [1]

God’s unfailing love for us is an objective fact affirmed over and over in the Scriptures. It is true whether we believe it or not. Our doubts do not destroy God’s love, nor does our faith create it. It originates in the very nature of God, who is love, and it flows to us through our union with His beloved Son. - Jerry Bridges (1929–2016)
