"...It's All About Love"

"According to Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of righteousness." (Psalms 48:10) I mean really, of all the places to be lost, where is the best? God's love! We might not understand this now, mostly because it is way to vast for us in our current form, but we will get it all later, that much I am absolutely sure of. As a matter of fact, I believe the greatest torment for those that will suffer in hell, will not be the flames, but will be the knowledge they will receive of His great love, and that they are missing out on sharing in it. What could have been, that is going to be the greatest torment of all! It might be hard to see that, only because of our current limited sight; but God's love is bigger than we could ever discover in this lifetime. Look at this verse, and notice "name" and "praise" go hand-in-hand, primarily because they both have something very much in common: fame and glory! Looking back to verse two, in regards to the "sides of the north", which were the 'darkened' side of the mountain, meaning the side which is hard to visibly see, "Thy right hand" is speaking to the side of the south, or the side which is visibly displayed. Think of it as if you were to show the greatest honor to someone, then they would be seated on your right; they are seated on your right so as to show anyone who might observe, that they are in the place of the greatest honor; which means that that honor is displayed, not kept in secret or hidden. Now then, how did God display His love for us again? Okay, so you are not convinced yet; then try this on for size! "Thy right hand" also speaks of prosperity or success, victory might be a better word; regardless, that main point is that it shows special honor that is earned. "Righteousness" also speaks of prosperity, especially following after "full"; therefore, the point is made that Who is on the right hand, which is the side of victory, has also the victory within Him; now who could that be? And what did He display?
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whomsoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. 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. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved." (John 3:14-17)
