Love is.........

1John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love

The standard of love goes beyond what we might feel we should do, it is what Jesus teaches us to do. The prime example of giving and forgiving is seen in our heavenly Father, who showed kindness to all the world as he gave his only begotten son to die for the sin of man. This is the love we must show to others that they might see the glory of the Lord.

 Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments. Now even though we profess to be able to do all things through Christ who strengthens us, when it comes to keeping Jesus commandments we often fall  short. But He is a forgiving and a giving God. His purpose for our life has become our main focus. He told us to take His yoke for it is easy, and his burdens are light. His commandments are to Love God and to love each other. He is so giving that He gives us the strength to do what it is He commands . We must be careful not to put more love, care and preparation in our stuff than we do our savior. He has not only forgiven our sin, but he has also given us the strength to obey His  commandments.

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus is the way of love, the truth of what love is, and the life of love we are to live. Let us walk and communicate that love to a lost and dying world, that they may come to know the person and way of love.
