“…though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but IF I HAVE NOT LOVE, I AM NOTHING.” (1 Corin. 13:2)
God LOVED US so much that He allowed His one and only Son TO BE BRUTALLY SACRIFICED FOR US.
“He who does not love DOES NOT KNOW GOD, for GOD IS LOVE.” (1 John 4:8) So, what is the definition of love: GOD. What is very important for us to understand is when we see miraculous things done but do not see the love of God manifested in the miracle worker then IT IS NOT OF GOD!
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and EVERYONE WHO LOVES IS BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD.” (1 John 4:7)
Why? Because “GOD IS LOVE“ (agapē). The only way we can love with agapē love IS TO KNOW GOD because His love is the highest form of love, it is selfless, sacrificial, steadfast, unchanging, and unconditional.
A LOVE THAT NEVER FAILS…
