The Agape Letters
January 3, 2005 Love Poured Out!
God's LOVE given to us without merit is a brief description of HIS grace.
As Believers in Christ, we realize the love God has for all mankind.
Some have never known what love is or how it is given without merit or reservation.
Jesus taught his disciples about love, and how it is so important in being obedient to God's command; That you love one another!
Love has many expressions.
Love is an ACTION!
The burden of love for others was demonstrated by Jesus on the cross.
HE was willing to give HIS life for me and you!
John 15:
(13) Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
This is ACTION, to put your love for someone before love for yourself.
Without the understanding given to Believers by Holy Spirit, we are unable to comprehend this.
Holy Spirit is another form of love expressed by Jesus.
We recieved HIS spirit to quide and empower us to love others regardless of our feelings.
Obedience to God's command is an ACTION we express as devotion to HIM!
1 John 4:
(16) And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
Love God with all of your heart, soul and mind!
Perfect LOVE cast out all fear!!
God's LOVE for us is unmeasureable!!!
