The More You Love God, the More You Can Love People: Universal Love Revealed in Revelation 5:9

 

Diverse people united in worship representing God’s universal love


The More You Love God, the More You Can Love People

"And they sang a new song, saying: ‘You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain, and with Your blood You purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.’" – Revelation 5:9

   Revelation 5:9 unveils a profound truth about the nature of God’s love. Heaven’s new song declares that the redemptive work of the Lamb extends to all people without limitation, boundary, or exclusion. The more deeply we draw near to God, the more our capacity to love others expands. This passage reveals a universal love that transcends cultural, national, and ethnic divisions. Heaven celebrates not separation, but unity one redeemed family gathered through sacrificial love.

Firstly: Every Language

   God’s love reaches across every language. Revelation 5:9 affirms that people are purchased for God through the blood of the Lamb, regardless of how they speak or communicate. Language is not a barrier to divine love, it is a testimony of its reach.

Secondly: Every Nation

   God’s love embraces every nation. No country stands outside the redemptive purpose of God. Heaven’s song gathers the nations not by political borders, but by divine inclusion. Love draws all into God’s expansive and gracious embrace.

Thirdly: Every Ethnicity — The Pulling Point

   The declaration reaches its fullness with every ethnicity. This is the powerful pulling point of Revelation’s new song. Ethnic identity is not erased, it is redeemed and affirmed. God’s love honors diversity while uniting humanity in worthiness through the Lamb. From this truth flows a kingdom pattern of thinking, theology, and treatment. Thoughts align with universal love. Words proclaim inclusion and grace. Actions embody love toward all creation. Anything that falls below this highest expression prejudice, division, exclusion must be released.

   The gospel is proclaimed to every creature because God loves all people. No one stands outside this love, for God is love. As we draw nearer to God, our love for others naturally increases. The more we love God, the more people we are empowered to love.

Universal Love (Revelation 5:9)

   1. Every Language
   2. Every Nation
   3. Every Ethnicity

📖 Reflection: In what ways might God be inviting you to expand your love beyond familiar boundaries?

💡 Action Step: Consciously release any thought, word, or behavior that limits love, and intentionally express God’s universal love to someone different from you this week.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
