God is love, God is love, full of Love.
If there is one truth you must know, is that God is Love.
1 John 4:7-21English Standard Version
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
1 John 4:7–8
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
For this post, we will be focusing on the Love of the father, GOD.
Everything God does is from a place of love.
He left His throne in heaven, Almighty GOD; why you may ask, for the sake of Love I tell you, only because HE loves us; and to be honest that's something we might not fully understand or be able to fully fathom, because even the angels couldn't understand it themself.
GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF came to this world in the form of man as JESUS CHRIST because HE Loves us to DIE FOR US.
Philippians 2:5-8 New King James Version
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
John 3:16 King James Version
16 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.
Isaiah 53:5-8 New Living Translation
5 But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.6 All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.
7 He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth.8 Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream. But he was struck down for the rebellion of my people.
I tell you, NO GREATER LOVE THAN THIS....
John 15:13 New International Version
13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Now the Bible also tells us that look, JESUS CHRIST didn't just die because HE loves us, HE is now seated in heaven still praying, interceding for us; you see its a forever kind of love :)
Oh Thank you JESUS.
Romans 8:31-34 New Living Translation
31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
It's an everlasting Love also and Nothing can seperate us from the Love of GOD, trust me nothing.
Its an everlasting love GOD has loved us with, GOD Himself said it, I have LOVED YOU with a forever, eternity kind of love and HE also said nothing, absolutely nothing can separate us from that love, it is everlasting.
See the way GOD confirms his love in Jeremiah 31:3; HE says, YES I have, like absolutely YES, belief only this truth, that I don't just love you now, I have always loved you, (loved in past tense) and its everlasting for now and future.....
Jeremiah 31:3 New King James Version
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.
Let's finish up reading Romans 8 from verse 35:
Romans 8:31-39 New Living Translation
35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Oh, What a mighty wonderful everlasting love, and there is victory, peace, joy in HIS love; its absolutely yours to receive if you want.
Receiving the love of GOD
Now the love of GOD is revelaed in Jesus Christ and to receive it, we must accept JESUS CHRIST as our LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOUR.
what does this mean?
we have established that we were all sinners, even came to this world as sinners; and the only way we can be saved is by confessing first that we are sinners and then accepting with thanksgiving that JESUS that was without sin died for our sins, we confess with our hearts and our mouths; and we receive the new sinless life CHRIST has given us, we become new and begin to walk in the love, power, joy, peace, mercy, grace, favour, anointing of GOD; we become filled with the spirit of GOD because we have a new life with is the LIFE OF GOD.
2 Corinthians 5:17 King James Version
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Prayer:
Oh Lord, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for your love, your love LORD, peace and joy that passeth all understanding. I confess that I am a sinner and I thank you LORD JESUS for the cross, thank you for dying on the cross for all my sins and taking all my sins, shame, guilt away and making me whole; YOU have saved me and I confess you as my absolute LORD and personal Saviour; I thank you because I am a new creature, I receive your SPIRIT, SPRIT OF THE LIVING GOD within me.
Lord help me to continue to know YOU more, fully understand your love and power, and live and abide in YOU LORD. I LOVE YOU LORD FOREVER AND I THANK YOU ALWAYS for there is no me without you.
