LOVE
Here is just a glimpse of what Love truly is:
“For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only Son; that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.
This verse is taken greatly for granted, the meaning is beyond what we can imagine; God’s Love is beyond what we can comprehend; His perfect Love. God’s love is the GREATEST LOVE! It far surpasses all the rest. People who read that verse often don’t know just how much Christ suffered for us, because He loved (Loves) us. He was willing to give up His only Son, just for us filthy sinners! We deserve to die, but instead He chooses to give us life! Why? Because He loves us. And so much more than we can ever know!
HIS Love is the greatest. That’s why this verse says it’s the greatest Love, because of Christ’s example: “Greater Love has no man than this, that he lay his life down for his friends (others).” John 15:13.
Awesomely-Amazing! Christ laid down His life for us all! We deserve God’s wrath, but in our place, Jesus took it upon Himself. That is LOVE.
This verse describes where Love came from: “We love because He first loved us.” John 4:19.
God loved first. He loved us; that is why we love! “He, who does not love, does not know God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:8.
God is The Author of Love. The Ultimate Author of The Greatest Love and of ALL Love! If we give Him the pen to our Love story, He will make it more beautiful than we could ever imagine! He cares about our Love story!
“By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren (others).” 1 John 3:16.
This points out so plainly what Christ did, and how we ought to follow in His Footsteps and that His Love is the Highest.
I really really like this quote from C.S. Lewis, it is the utter truth:
"God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing."
So, what is Love? you say. God is Love.
