I have loved you with an everlasting love'

The Lord has appeared of old unto me, saying, 
"Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;
therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you."
Jeremiah 31:3

There can be no new thought in the mind of GOD.

New thoughts, new feelings, new plans, 
new resolutions continually occur to OUR 
mind—for ours is but a . . .
 poor,
fallen,
fickle,
changeable nature. 

But God has no new—thoughts, feelings, plans or 
resolutions. For if He had, He would be a 'changeable'
Being—not one great, eternal, unchangeable 'I Am'. 
All His thoughts, therefore, all His plans, all His ways 
are like Himself . . .
eternal,
infinite,
unchanging,
unchangeable. 

The love of Christ to His Church is also—eternal, 
unchanging, unchangeable. And why? Because 
He loves as Deity. 

O what a mercy it is for those who have any gracious,
experimental knowledge of the love of Christ—to believe 
it is from everlasting to everlasting—that no incidents of 
time, no storms of sin or Satan, can ever change or alter 
that eternal love—but that it remains now and will 
remain the same to all eternity!
