Love

 ~ Obey God by Loving Others ~

Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:34-35).

“Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church — a love marked by giving, not getting.  Christ's love makes the church whole.  His words evoke her beauty.  Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness.  And that is how husbands ought to love their wives.  They're really doing themselves a favor — since they're already ‘one’ in marriage” (Ephesians 5:25-28 msg).

“No one has seen God at any time.  If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us” (1 John 4:12).
