God's Love is not a stagnant, impotent love devoid of power and holiness. Rather His Love is embodied in Jesus who is a Redeemer. He brings Divine transformation wherever He goes. His steadfast love endures forever as it brings about forgiveness, cleansing, and renewal in the lives of those who respond to the Holy Spirit. No person is ever the same who has received the Love of God (Jesus).
This Love is not some cheap sentimentality or generic cameo for Holiness. Jesus' presence brings hope for the change we need and then power to realize that hope, not contentment to continue down the path of destruction we have walked thus far.
God's Love promises us fellowship with the Divine while it cleanses us. His Love does not "sweep our sin under the rug" while making excuse for our own evil or placing blame on others. Jesus goes to the dark corners and unseen places of our life to even reorient our most fundamental desires and longings and bring them into alignment with Him.

This real Love does not bring peace to a wicked heart but to the heart that has been cleansed and changed. The peace is a natural outcome of a life in right relationship with a holy God after having been purged of its rebellion.
A heart focused inwardly because of selfishness or pride is refocused toward Heaven and also to those around them (even people who have previously declared that they are enemies) because Jesus changes everything! This Love always leads to holiness of heart and life.
Encounter the Love of God today and do not settle for the cheap imitation of powerless and changeless sentimentality.
God is Love.
