God loves us with an everlasting love! In this Jeremiah 31:3 Devotional, we’ll discover how His unchanging love reaches across the ages, from the very beginning of time to this moment in our lives. No matter what we’ve done or where we’ve been, His faithful heart still pursues us. When life leaves us feeling unseen or uncertain, this verse reminds us that God’s love isn’t temporary or conditional. It’s everlasting, anchored in His promise, and strong enough to carry us through every season.
Let’s face it, sometimes life can be lonely. We’re left to wonder why we feel so unloved and all alone. There are days when it seems like no one truly sees us or understands what we’re going through. The ache of rejection or the silence of unanswered prayers can make our hearts question if we’re really loved at all.
But in those moments of loneliness and doubt, God whispers a gentle reminder that His love has never left us. Even when people fail us or circumstances shift, His love remains steady and sure.
When we turn to His Word, we find the reassurance our hearts have been searching for. In Jeremiah 31:3, we discover the identity of the One who loves us unconditionally and the depth of His everlasting love.
What is the Meaning of Jeremiah 31:3?
The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying:
“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
Jeremiah 31:3 New King James Version
This beautiful verse reveals the heart of God—His loyal and unfailing love for His people. It reminds us that it’s the very nature of God to be faithful and steadfast toward those He calls His own.
The people of Israel had already experienced this everlasting love. They had seen it in the Lord’s care during their captivity in Egypt, His guidance through the wilderness, and His provision when they reached the Promised Land. Even when they turned away, His love remained constant and true.
The phrase “The Lord has appeared of old” points to the eternal nature of God. From the foundation of the world, He has been the same, unchanging in character and perfect in love. The Hebrew word also suggests a sense of distance, as if God had hidden Himself for a time. But even in their separation, the Israelites were never forgotten. The Lord’s eyes were still upon them, and His lovingkindness continued to draw them back to Himself.
That same promise holds true for us today. God’s everlasting love reaches across the ages and into our lives, proving that no matter how far we wander, His faithful heart will always draw us home.
God’s Love for Us is Everlasting
As we’ve just learned in Jeremiah 31, God’s love for us is truly everlasting. That means He loved us before the beginning of time, He loves us in this very moment, and He will continue to love us for all eternity.
The phrases “everlasting love” and “with lovingkindness I have drawn you” beautifully show the unchanging nature of His love. They remind us that no matter what happens in life, through joy or sorrow, strength or weakness, God will continue to love us and draw us close to Himself.
His love doesn’t depend on our performance or perfection. It’s rooted in His character, not ours. Even when we stumble, His grace reaches out to lift us up and surround us with His compassion.
This is the assurance of faith we hold onto… that our Heavenly Father will never let us go. His love remains our constant source of comfort, our firm foundation, and our reason for hope every single day.
3 Ways God Shows His Love
The love of God can be seen in so many ways if we just look for it.
So, let’s read some Bible Verses about God’s Everlasting Love and see three ways God shows His love for us every day.
#1 God loved us so He sent His Son.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8 New International Version
Sin separates people from God. But God’s love was demonstrated in an unimaginable way when He sent His Son to die for those who were unholy and unrighteous in every way.
This is proof positive of God’s unfailing kindness and love for humanity, that He would send His only Son into a sinful world to save all who would believe from an eternity of separation and torment.
But this unconditional love wasn’t just for the people of Jeremiah’s day, it’s for us too!
God’s love and the sacrifice of Jesus continue to save us to this day!
I don’t know anyone else who would even consider sending their child into the world to die for someone else! But I’m so glad God was willing to send His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place.
There’s no doubt… God definitely loves us with everlasting love!
Through Christ, we’ve been invited into a new covenant of grace that leads to eternal life. His sacrifice didn’t just redeem us for a moment, it secured a forever relationship with the God who loved us from the beginning and will love us to the end.
#2 We are Children of God
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.
When we believe Jesus died for our sins and accept Him as our Savior, we are automatically adopted into the family of God. As Children of God, we’re no longer alone in this world. We have a family to call our own. And in stark contrast to the very conditional love of the world, our Heavenly Father loves us no matter what we do.
Praise Jesus, God has made us a part of His family! And because of His love, we have the great honor of calling Him our Abba Father or Daddy. (Romans 8:15)
As His beloved children, we’re also part of a greater story, one that began long before we were born. God made us His chosen people, not because of what we’ve done, but because of who He is. His promise is that nothing will ever separate us from His love or take away our place in His family.
Every day, we can have the confidence that we belong to Him, fully loved, fully accepted, and forever held in the arms of our Heavenly Father.
#3 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
Because we’re human, we have a sinful nature. Throughout our lives, we’ll continue to sin even if we’re saved, and even if we don’t want to. It’s just a part of our nature.
But our Great God doesn’t give up on us. Even when we mess up or walk away from Him, He continues to be faithful and completely loyal to us. We already learned the word “everlasting” from Jeremiah 31:3 means “loyal”. And God’s Word talks about this loyal love again in this scripture from Lamentations…
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Because of our sinful nature, we don’t deserve God’s steadfast love and loyalty. But it’s in God’s nature to give it to us anyway.
The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, and He gives us a new opportunity to experience His amazing love each day. And because of His faithfulness, we can rest assured His great love will never end. He will always show us everlasting love.
God’s Hand Reveals His Eternal Love
When we look back over our lives, we can see how God’s hand has been faithfully guiding us through every season. In big moments and small ones, His presence reminds us that our loving Father is always near—steady, gentle, and full of compassion.
Every act of grace, every answered prayer, and every moment of comfort is proof of His eternal love reaching down to meet us where we are. His love isn’t something that fades with time or depends on how well we perform, it’s constant, steadfast, and true.
When we open ourselves to the heart of Christ, we begin to understand just how deeply we’re loved. Through Him, we see the perfect picture of God’s compassion and the assurance of His love that never wavers, no matter what life brings.
So today, take a moment to pause and notice where His hand is at work in your life. Because once you start looking for it, you’ll realize He’s been there all along… loving, guiding, and holding you every step of the way.

Nothing Can Separate Us from the Love of Christ
God wants you to know beyond any doubt that He loves you deeply and personally. He longs for you to feel His perfect love surrounding you every single day and to walk confidently in a close, intimate relationship with Him.
No matter what happens in your life, His love never wavers. People may come and go, seasons may change, but the love of Christ remains constant. It’s a love that holds you steady in uncertainty and reminds you that you belong to Him.
Paul captured this truth so beautifully in the following words…
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39 NKJV
The Apostle Paul struggled to express just how wide and deep this never-ending love truly is. God’s faithful love is everlasting, it has no beginning and no end. And because of Jesus’ name, we have the unshakable promise that nothing can ever separate us from His love again.
Even when life feels hard and His presence seems far away, remember that sin no longer has the power to divide us from our Savior. Through Christ’s sacrifice, and our personal relationship with Him, we have the assurance of God’s unfailing love.
Living in the Promise of God’s Everlasting Love
If you’re feeling unloved or struggling to see God’s love in your life, take heart, His covenant love has never left you. God’s promise still stands strong today. When you give your life to Jesus and ask Him to save you from your sin, His everlasting love becomes yours forever.
You’re His beloved child, chosen and cherished by the One who created you. And when you seek Him with your whole heart, you’ll find that His love was already there, reaching out to draw you close.
God’s love isn’t just a passing feeling, it’s a lifelong relationship built on His faithfulness and grace. No matter what you face, you can trust that His hand is holding you steady and His heart is turned toward you.
In this Jeremiah 31:3 Devotional, we’ve seen God’s great message that His everlasting love is more than just a promise… it’s the foundation of who He is. May you walk in that love today, confident that your Heavenly Father will continue to surround you with His unending mercy and peace.
May God bless you and show you His Everlasting Love today!
