<p>&quot;His great love for us.&quot; Ephesians 2:4<br />
          <br />
          &quot;You love them as much as You love Me.&quot; John 17:23<br />
          <br />
          The love of God to His dear Son must be so infinite <br />
          as to exceed all conception of men or angels. Now, <br />
          that He should love the people of His choice with the <br />
          same love—the same in nature, the same in degree <br />
          as that with which He loves His dear Son—is one of <br />
          the most overwhelming thoughts which can move <br />
          and stir a human bosom! Indeed, so overwhelming <br />
          is it in its sublime mystery and unapproachable depth, <br />
          that as it can only be received by faith! Faith itself <br />
          can only <strong>fall down in reverent astonishment</strong> and <br />
          admiration before it, and cry out, &quot;O the depth! <br />
          O the blessedness of this love!&quot;<br />
          <br />
          &quot;I love you the same way as My Father has loved Me.&quot;<br />
          John 15:9
