What Does God Love?

Show notes

About This Episode I was reading in Psalm 37 and came across the line "For the Lord loves justice," and I thought how cool it is that the Word directly tells us what God loves. So we went looking for more places in the Bible that tell us directly what God loves. If God loves it, maybe we should too. And since Psalm 107 tells us God's steadfast love endures forever, He still loves today the things He said He loved back then. In this episode, we walk through the world, a cheerful giver, justice, righteous deeds, the children of Israel, the disciples, and His Son, and we talk about what it looks like to love the things God loves, including how spouses give cheerfully to one another.

About Aaron & Jennifer Smith Aaron and Jennifer Smith are the founders of Marriage After God and authors of Husband After God, Wife After God, and Marriage After God. Married since 2007 and raising six children in Bend, Oregon, they started Husband Revolution and Unveiled Wife to share what God was teaching them, not from a place of having it figured out, but as fellow travelers pointing couples back to Jesus.

In This Episode The world — John 3:16 and God's love for the people He created in His image. A cheerful giver — 2 Corinthians 9:7 and what cheerful giving looks like between spouses. Justice — Psalm 37:28 and God's justice fulfilled at the cross. Righteous deeds — Psalm 11:7 and walking in the good works God prepared for us. The children of Israel — Hosea 3:1 and praying for the Jewish people and for revival. The disciples — John 16:27 and the Father's love for those who believe. His Son — John 10:17 and the Father's everlasting love for Jesus. A prayer — Asking God to let His steadfast love transform our hearts and our marriages.
