• Acts 4:17-31
God’s Love is unflinching. That means it does not show fear or hesitation in the face of danger.
A great example is in the book of Acts: The apostles received threats for preaching in the Name of Jesus and were forbidden to preach in that Name. Still, they continued to preach the Gospel in love and so much boldness (Acts 4:17-23).
“And when they heard it, lifted their voices together with one united mind to God and said, O Sovereign Lord, You are He Who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything that is in them, [Exod. 20:11; Ps. 146:6.] Who by the mouth of our forefather David, Your servant and child, said through the Holy Spirit, Why did the heathen (Gentiles) become wanton and insolent and rage, and the people imagine and study and plan vain (fruitless) things [that will not succeed]? The kings of the earth took their stand in array [for attack] and the rulers were assembled and combined together against the Lord and against His Anointed (Christ, the Messiah). [Ps. 2:1, 2.] For in this city there actually met and plotted together against Your holy Child and Servant Jesus, Whom You consecrated by anointing, both Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and peoples of Israel, [Ps. 2:1, 2.] To carry out all that Your hand and Your will and purpose had predestined (predetermined) should occur. And now, Lord, observe their threats and grant to Your bond servants [full freedom] to declare Your message fearlessly, While You stretch out Your hand to cure and to perform signs and wonders through the authority and by the power of the name of Your holy Child and Servant Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage.”
Acts 4:24-31 AMPC
The apostles could not stop preaching because of the love of many who would go to hell without hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We are not supposed to be afraid or hesitate to give or walk in love in the midst of danger (the world), for God’s Love is unflinching.
Remember: the Love of God is unflinching.
Many blessings in Jesus’ Name.
