1 John 4:16 NIV
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
Love created you, sustains you, and motivates you. You were created by Love, for Love, to Love!
God is Love. His divine character exhibits love. His entire nature freely expresses love independent of what you and I do. He loves because He is love.
When you begin to realize the love He has for you, your assurance and trust in Him grows. When your relationship grows with Him, your understanding of love takes you to a whole new level of maturity.
When you come to the place and realize God’s purpose for you is to know Him and experience life with Him, and through Him, the outcome includes immeasurably more love than a person can naturally handle.
Love moves the world. You and I do more in the name of love than we truly admit. Even though we may not truly understand what real love is until we have an encounter with Him, he has revealed love to us through Jesus. Jesus is the expressive embodiment of God in human form.
Throughout Scripture we are introduced to the many ways Jesus expressed His Father’s love. He had an intimate relationship with the Godhead as a Son. His pre-public ministry including serving in Joseph’s family carpentry business. Upon his arrival to be baptized by John, he lived His vicarious life from beginning to end for you, me, and His Father. He healed, taught, and gave himself in service so others may come to know who His Father is truly like.
Without love there is no hope, no future, nor joy. With love, everything is more colorful, adventurous, and meaningful. Your passion for whatever is a byproduct of channeled love. Your hobbies, your work, and the mate you choose all are avenues to express your love.
Love is not just about you. Love includes God, family, friends, associates, neighbors, countrymen and women, and every person who arrives on planet earth.
Real love is sacrificial and up-building. The Triune God birth humanity from the central core of love. The entire universe is built upon the natural laws govern by love. Love rules the galaxies. This is why love is the most important attribute of life.
Always remember: You were created by Love, for Love, to Love!
Rooting For You in Christ!
