Until Ypu’ve Known the Love of God

1 Peter 1:7-9  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 

[8] Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:


[9] Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.


Those who don’t know Jesus may think such a relationship is foolish, but they don’t know the joy and love and peace they are missing.  


You can know Him and His awesome love. Only believe.  Humbly ask Him to forgive your sins and come into your heart. 


John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


Until You’ve Known the Love of God

If you could own all the world and it's money,    —    Build castles tall enough to reach the sky above;    —    If you could know everything there was to know about life's game,    —    Yet you've known nothing until you've known God and His love.


CHORUS:

Until you've known the loving hand that reaches down to a fallen man    —  And lifts him up from out of sin where he has trod;    —    Until you've known just how it feels to know that God is really real;    —    Then you've known nothing until you've known the love of God.


If in your lifetime you could meet ev'rybody,    —    And you could call every name from here to yon;    —    But if you've not come face to face with Jesus and His saving grace,    —    Then you've known no one until you've known God and His love.
