“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:8
Text — 1 John 4:7:10
Message
Love is a four-letter-word thatdescribes or defines the nature of God. When the Bible says God is love, it means God personified l0ve. His words show love, His actions show love and His character and personality show love. God’s love is pure and perfect, unlike any other love we see in the world. While people’s love often depend on feelings or emotions, God’s love goes beyond warm feelings. It is not based on conditions or what we can do for Him; or because you deserve to be loved. God loves us freely, deeply and unconditionally.
God showed His love for you by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die for you. This saved you from sin and from going to hell. John 15:13 says, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” This is amazing! Friends usually wouldn’t do this; they wouldn’t give their life for friendship.
To truly value God’s love and the gift of Jesus, if you are a sinner, repent, turn away from your wrong doings and surrender your life to Christ. If you are already following Jesus, keep serving God and sharing His love with others. Let the love of God spread to all around you.
