L.O.V.E.

The most misunderstood , misused , misguided , misinformed , mistreated , misinterpreted , misspelled word that both so called Christians , Believers , saved ,Unsaved
, Unbelievers , Secular , Church goers , Religious people Etc , and none who use it has it's true meaning.

Why is that? This could be or it comes down to many factors. If we were not brought up in a loving caring environment.

If we are not taught to love ourselves.

Among other thing such as a family that had a warm environment for one to grow up in.

“Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.

But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully” ‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭8

We will see that the understanding of this emotion becomes highly misunderstood. And the word love becomes the norm , and there's the problem.

Yes! there's different types of love , but the love that is being used by the people of the world is being used in the wrong context . For this love and not the others is so widely used that it's harder to know what it is. This is what the bible says on this . Scripture .

1 Corinthians 13:4–8a (ESV) Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing , but rejoices with the truth . Nice , but the opposite of 1 Corinthians 13:4–8a is what we do .

Here is a short list of the loves that we use , and still do not understand ; the 4 types of biblical love?

1 Storge – empathy bond.

.2 Philia – friend bond.

.3 Eros – romantic love.

.4 Agape – unconditional "God" love.

Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus showed His love for others by blessing and serving the poor , the sick, and the distressed. He told His disciples , “This is my commandment , That ye love one another , as I have loved you” (John 15:12; John 13:34–35 . Many do not these things , but they confess to love .

He(God) wants us to experience incredible , life-changing love, mercy , and compassion not only from him , but from those around us . And He wants us to show that love to others . The call to love and help others in tangible ways — especially those weaker than ourselves — runs throughout the Bible.

What is the importance of love in the Bible? "Love doesn't do anything wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is what fulfills the Law ." The Good News: There are many rules God wants you to follow , but chief among them is to love one another .

You can never go wrong spreading love . "No one has ever seen God.

What is the power of God's love? When filled with God's love we can do and see and understand things that we could not otherwise do or see or understand . Filled with His love, we can endure pain, quell fear , forgive freely , avoid contention , renew strength , and bless and help others in ways surprising even to us.

There will be many church going people , secular christian's , unbelievers who will be heading in the same direction as satan the devil.The reason for this is that when Jesus was here He taught the kingdom of God and the love of the father and love one another.

The churches are teaching the doctrine of men and religion . Jesus never taught any of this . This is all mankind ,
and man made .The sad part here is that many of you here believe what your churches teach even if it's not locate , found , seen, written in scripture , but if your church says it.

It must be true , and how wrong many of you are that is why many of you are going in the same direction as the devil .

If what you think I am say/writing is false compare what your churches say compare it against the bible , and see who is correct the bible or your church . Remember your church cannot stand alone it needs the truth of the bible , and the bible does not need the church to stand .

The church has no and I mean no truth on it's own , but the bible has all the truth the church needs to stand alone , so you all can keep on doing or following your man made doctrines that have no place in the bible God's Holy Word , and see which direction it sends you . Like I said Jesus taught the Kingdom of God not man made doctrines of a man made church.

No Ordinary Love.

“Walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:2.

Ephesians 3:18 keeps me in awe because it also includes length and height. This scripture clearly leaves no space where you cannot find His Love. So, we just asked “how deep and wide is God's love?”, now we must stand in awe of how long and high the love of God is.

What is the power of God's love?

When filled with God's love, we can do and see and understand things that we could not otherwise do or see or understand. Filled with His love, we can endure pain, quell fear, forgive freely, avoid contention, renew strength, and bless and help others in ways surprising even to us

How does God's love affect us?

Abiding in God's love is the "key" to maintaining your cool under pressure, "Knowing God's love helps you because you know that God will find a way to make things end up good. He can turn an impossible situation into a good one." God's love can transform laziness into helpfulness.

In Word.

Nowhere in the New Testament is love defined simply as a human emotion. Biblical love is much more radical than that. It extends farther than the world’s love—to enemies and strangers—and it also goes deeper—to sacrificial offerings of adoration. We love because God adamantly insists that we be like Him. So where would we go to take our cues? Jesus is our example.

Jesus loved us and gave Himself as an offering. He considered His momentary human feelings of no account; a higher consideration than self took Him to the cross. He defined love for His disciples as laying down a life for a friend; and He gave them an object lesson they would never forget.

The visual illustration of this kind of love is to stick with us as well. It’s the example Paul gives to the Ephesians: We are to love in the same way that Christ loved us. Paul wrote to the Romans of the call to be a living sacrifice. Using Jesus as our model is a reiteration of the same theme.

Think of Jesus’ kind of love: He embraced cheaters and prostitutes. He touched lepers and dead people. He was sometimes very tender and sometimes very harsh. He always told the truth, even when it hurt. He loved sinners but hated sin. He let people self-destruct, never compromising principles for the sake of sentiment. He was incredible patient with hardheaded disciples. And he bled.

In Deed

Does that description of Jesus’ love reflect the kind of love we show each other in the church and in the world? Probably not. We have a long way to go. But there’s no way we can worship this God without a desire to be like Him—especially in His love.

John 14:23-24 - "Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching .

These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me."

Paul frequently makes Jesus our prime example. So much for attainable goals. But a God worth worshiping would never settle for mediocrity anyway. We must press on. His love compels us.
