The Bible’s descriptions show that God’s love

[Mary Naeem]

The Bible’s descriptions show that God’s love is the opposite of reckless. A reckless person acts with little to no forethought, but God chose believers before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). Recklessness implies an inability to see the future, but God knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). Reckless love doesn’t heed consequences, but God knew full well what His love would require. Jesus did not go blindly to the cross; He set His face like flint to reach it (Isaiah 50:7; Luke 9:51). Reckless love can easily fade once reality sets in; God’s love never ends (1 Corinthians 13:8).
