"And Above All"

Love

1 John 4:7 “Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been fathered by God and knows God.”

What is love?

what love is not?

Love is Gods Nature; not just mental gymnastics, not just better character.

Choosing to walk in His love, live in His love, guides and directs our action/habits/ how we treat others/ lifestyles choice. These are all results of Choosing to be Filled more of Him.

I do believe that we can have a “False Gold” situation of seeming to be the real deal but is not, Good on the outside, but fake, not real, imitation at best.

I believe that applies to love here with us, we have love that comes from the world that is conditional, and love that is God’s nature inside us, and as He lives in us changes us in time and seasons of His Knowing

Galatians 5:13–15 “For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.”

Love enables us to live different lives not led by worldly desires

React differently

choose to walk another way that is not anger/ malice, pay evil for evil

I need examples of How can I apply this to my life

1 Corinthians 13:13 “And now these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

Love will help us endure to the End

Love is the Fire, He is the Spirit that Fills us so that we can keep going!

Romans 5:5 “and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”

He knows us, we know Him, he will begin to show Himself even in our Hearts, in out lives, We will see God’s love in our lives. God fills us with more of Who He Is!
