King James Version
9 Let love be without dissimulation.
Abhor that which is evil;
cleave to that which is good.
What do we know about love?
Who taught us how to love?
What are our beliefs about love?
What is your own experience about love?
How do we know our love is true?
How do we know we are truly loved?
Is there such a thing as perfect love?
We all want to be loved.
A love that's true.
A love that lasts.
A love you can trust.
A love that frees, and not enslaves.
Have we found answers yet?
Have we found people we can truly love?
Do we have people who truly love us?
Who are we to love?
Does the world reflect love?
FIRST, we need to know something.
This, I found, after creating over 90 blogs.
As a person devoted to the WORD of GOD, this much I can tell you:
Unless we're born again,
we can't possibly know about true love.
Why do I make such a claim?
For this number of reasons:
1. GOD is LOVE.
2. This is how GOD loves.
3. GOD's ways are perfect.
4. SPIRIT teaches us GOD's ways.
5. A born again is taught by SPIRIT.
You will need proof.
Here's proof:
GOD is LOVE.
1 John 4:7-8
King James Version
7 Beloved, let us love one another:
for love is of God; and every one that loveth
is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God;
for God is love.
This is how GOD loves.
1 John 4:9-10
King James Version
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us,
because that God sent his only begotten Son
into the world,
that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love,
not that we loved God, but that he loved us,
and sent his Son
to be the propitiation for our sins.
GOD's ways are perfect.
Psalm 18:30-32
King James Version
30 As for God, his way is perfect:
the word of the Lord is tried:
he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the Lord?
or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength,
and maketh my way perfect.
SPIRIT teaches us GOD's ways.
John 14:26
King James Version
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
A born again is taught by SPIRIT.
John 3:5-8
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth:
so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
All man's ways of loving is imperfect.
UNLESS, and UNTIL, GOD makes him born again.
Ah, then, that makes ALL the DIFFERENCE in the world!
Expect a true born again to live by Scripture.
He lives to love GOD, and others.
He follows the path lived by JESUS.
He is taught by the SPIRIT of GOD.
If you truly want to love, seek GOD first.
Seek the SOURCE of ALL.
JESUS taught us that.
Matthew 6:33
King James Version
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
In the meantime, GOD waits.
Psalm 14:2
King James Version
2 The Lord looked down from heaven
upon the children of men,
to see if there were any that did understand,
and seek God.
And in the meantime, the world is the way it is.
Imperfect.
Chaotic.
Confused.
It's a good idea to turn to GOD now.
