God’s Nice Love

So there’s no manner that we may ever dwell a life that’s so good and so rid and devoid of sin that someway we may earn or advantage God’s love and his affection. The greatness of God’s love is exactly seen in the way in which that he showers it down on those that deserve solely judgment and hell. That’s what makes God so marvelous. John says it in 1 John 3:1: “How nice is the love of God?”
