~ God IS Love

This
Series
~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God. Generally, we move in alphabetical order.
Scripture ~ “Beloved,
let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is
born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God
is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has
sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In
this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His
Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we
also ought to love one another” (1 John 4:7-11).
Quotes ~ “I have
given God countless reasons not to love me. None of them has been strong enough
to change Him.” (Paul Washer)
“I’m so grateful that neither my sin nor my stupidity keeps God
from loving me.” (unknown)
“God
doesn’t love us because of our worth, we are of worth because God loves us.” (Martin
Luther)
“Do
you not realize that the love the Father bestowed on the perfect Christ He now
bestows on you? (Charles Spurgeon)
Application ~ “‘Teacher,
which is the great commandment in the law?’
Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and
great commandment. And the second is
like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law
and the Prophets” (Matthew 22:36-40).
