The Unpopular Truth About God’s Love

Granger Smith Podcast Episode 253:
In this episode, we explore the profound ways God demonstrates His love for us, beyond the everyday gestures of kindness we often notice. While social media is filled with stories of grace—like a child giving a stranger a hug or the beauty of nature—these are just glimpses of God's common grace. The Bible tells us that God's love is ultimately and most powerfully shown through one specific way: the sending of His Son, Jesus Christ.

We dive deep into the Scriptures to uncover the truth that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This is the true manifestation of God's love, and it's the foundation of our reconciliation with Him. Without understanding this, we risk missing the full scope of God's love. Join us as we discover how Jesus sacrifice is the ultimate expression of God's love for humanity.

TALK TO ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:

[louannemiller]

I read your verse every morning. Thank you for starting my day in a positive light. Love all of your platforms. Maverick is so smart and the smallest country toddler. The Smith’s are making changes in peoples lives, mine being one of them. Blessings 🙏🏼

[camo]

Thank you gave me a lot of food for thought and to reflect on my life

[brianfleming]

You've got the best answer, Granger.

My mind immediately went to Hebrews 12:6.

The Lord disciplines the one He loves. And he chastens everyone He accepts as His son.

[k.s.obrien]

Wonderfully edifying, Lord bless you Granger.

[MichaelLaskey-ud]

I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47, 000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️

[anal.mendoza]

Hello Granger, may the Lord bless you from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic! Thank you for sharing this episode, I really love it.

[debragilmore]

I guess I'm weird I love Exodus, Leviticus because I can see Jesus in those rules and sacrifices. He fulfilled them, He was the final sacrifice. He DID NOT come to make the Law obsolete. God is so good and faithful and I love His Word.

[Mike.D.]

@18:40 about the question from Tristan I have two points to add there:

1. You should be dating with intent, not just dating to date. Date with the intention of finding a life long partner.
2. A spouse should be equally yoked! Do not think you will change someone that will only lead to problems, resentment, and heartbreak.


2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (KJV)


14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?


15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

[laurieleis]

Granger i am so excited by your passion for the four things that are essential for christianity. i agree 100% with you. i look forward to this podcast every week for your wisdom and your biblical based answers. ❤😊❤

[aaronwheels]

Thank you for the Men's Night and services this weekend. Your message was so amazing. Hope you got some rest

[ErinLogan-yl]

Jesus can do absolutely anything He wants to. Some heals, while others He doesn't. However, He still reigns and is indeed Sovereign over all. ❤❤

[billyraypeters]

Thank you God for sending Jesus Emmanuel brother Grainger I think a lot of people want to give their ideas and opinions also a lot of people don't really know the Bible

[arlenedbyrne]

Wow that is so sad, which is felt in your soul. I thought we all knew that by sending Jesus and by him dying on the cross shows us his love. Before we was born, Before anything.

[eddiegardner]

The best way is He gave His only Son for us. On the cross.

[eddiegardner]

No greater love than he lay his life for his friends. Jesus said I give my life for us. Jesus calls us his friend.

[refinersforge]

We need to be clear, not safe with our answers, those that believe LDS doctrine are not Christians. We need to be absolutely clear about this.

[arlenedbyrne]

I'm reading the mccheyenne Bible plan ( shout out to Amber Smith for recommendation on arise, which I can't wait for it to come back)

[starlenekalinski]

My response was John 3:16. There is a lot of references in the Bible that tells of God’s, but I don’t know what verse it is that even when we were sinners God sent His only begotten Son into the world to die for us so we could be saved.

[donniem]

I listened to this on Apple podcast I just wanted to comment on the Morman question. I had friends in college and they met in high school. The girl was morman and the guy was baptist and they continued their relationship and it got to a point where he had to draw a line in their relationship. The problem was she didn’t know their true views on Christ and she felt betrayed and lied to when she found out. Because she went to her elders at her church and they confirmed what her boyfriend told her. Full disclosure her family left the church but left their kids in because they wanted them to make their own choice on church. So it is possible she will convert but I would say make sure you approach in love for Christ and not a love to be with her

"How does God show his love?" Your question was asked in the present tense when it should have been asked in the past tense. For example, what has God done to show his love. Words matter. It didn't go over people's head when you consider the question was not worded correctly.
