Love


Love

Nothing can separate us from the love of God. It's in the Bible, Romans 8:38-39, NIV. "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
God's love is sacrificial. It's in the Bible, John 3:16, NIV. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
God's love lasts forever. It's in the Bible, Psalm 136:1, NIV. "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever."
How is love described? It's in the Bible, I Corinthians 13:4-7, NKJV. "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things "
God is love. It's in the Bible, 1 John 4:8, NKJV, " He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."
Love is deep and priceless. It's in the Bible, Song of Solomon 8:7 "Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can the floods drown it. If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house, It would be utterly despised."
Love does not cause fear. It's in the Bible, 1 John 4:18, NKJV. "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love."
We are commanded to love one another. It's in the Bible, I John 2:7-8, TLB. "Dear brothers, I am not writing out a new rule for you to obey, for it is an old one you have always had, right from the start. You have heard it all before. Yet it is always new, and works for you just as it did for Christ; and as we obey this commandment, to love one another, the darkness in our lives disappears and the new light of life in Christ shines in."
Love is not just for friends. It's in the Bible, Matthew 5:43-44, TLB. "There is a saying, 'Love your friends and hate your enemies.' But I say: Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!"
God's law is summed up in love. It's in the Bible, Matthew 22:37-40, NIV. "Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Love for God is shown through keeping His commandments. It's in the Bible, I John 5:3, NRSV. "For the love of God is this, that we obey His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome."
Don't let your love for God weaken. It's in the Bible, Revelation 2:4-5, TLB. "Yet there is one thing wrong; you don't love me as at first! Think about those times of your first love (how different now!) and turn back to me again and work as you did before."
Love is not just a feeling, but takes all that we have. It's in the Bible, Deuteronomy 6:5, NKJV. "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."

    Looks to me like its a one side love. How many time did god told you or showed you he loved you? You should spend more time appreciating all the real things and people around you rather than the invisible one that might or might not exists. You will only know for sure when you die anyway so dont bother with that while you're still alive.

    Have a nice day

    Oh and just so you know, the bible is a piece of crap, its been modified so often since they first wrote it that there is probably nothing left of the original version. So reading that is like reading the story of star wars, it might be interesting, but there is nothing true about it.

    People around you is the living testimony of God's Love. While were still alive, glorify Him..Be obedient. You have the reason why you're here on earth..
