Jehovah Is the God of Love

JEHOVAH'S LOVE ALREADY SHOWN

Jehovah's great love has been displayed in many ways.  For example, note the magnificence of the universe. There are billions of galaxies, each containing many billions of stars and planets. In our own Milky Way galaxy, one of  those stars is our sun, without which the multitude of life forms on earth would  not exist. All these creations give evidence of Jehovah's Godship and of his qualities, such as his power, wisdom, and love. Yes,  God's invisible qualities are clearly seen from the word's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made even his eternal power and Godship." -Romans 1:20.  

On earth, Jehovah created everything for the benefit of his creatures designed for earthly life.  For humans, he made a beautiful paradise garden and gave them perfect minds and bodies capable of living forever.  (Read Revelation 4:11) Moreover,  "he gives  food to every living thing, for his loyal love endures forever." -Psalm 136:25. 

While Jehovah reveals himself as the God of love, he also expresses hatred for what is bad. For example, Psalm 5:4-6 says of Jehovah:  You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness . . .You hate all those who behave wickedly."  And it adds: Jehovah detests violence and deceptive people."

Next time: Jehovah Is the God of Love - SOON-THE END OF WICKEDNESS
