An Everlasting Love

Geerhardus Johannes Vos (1862 – 1949), sometimes called the father of Reformed Biblical Theology, was a Dutch-American theologian. He was born in the Netherlands and educated at Princeton. He was one of the most influential, yet one of the most unknown theologians of his time. Vos developed a new redemptive-historical hermeneutic which became known as biblical theology.

Vos writes:

“I have loved you with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3).

In the unlimitable round of His timeless existence we have never been absent from nor uncared for by Him.

The best proof that He will never cease to love us lies in that He never began.

What we are for Him and what He is for us belongs to the realm of eternal values.

Without this we are nothing, in it we have all.
