Because of Jesus

Because of Jesus we know God’s Love for us

We know God’s Love

what is love? God Is love! It is not selfish, it is steadfast, it is unconditional.

The Bible says it suffers long and is kind, it doesn’t envy, envy takes away our peace and it causes us to act rashly. and . God Is patient with us and doesn’t force us or coerce us into his Love. He invites us!

Love doesn’t parade itself. its not puffed up. God comes to us in humility. Jesus came as a baby, the son of a carpenter in Nazareth. The most unassuming place and least expected family.

God’s love doesn’t parade itself, it doesn’t boast and isn’t proud. Or thinks himself too highly

Does not behave rudely - to behave dishonoring. God will always lift you up never tear you down.

Does not seek its own. Everything God does is on our behalf. God has need of nothing therefore all he Does is for us! His desire is for us.

Is not provoked. Nothing we say or do to try and Hurt God will work. He can’t be provoked. He won’t play games. He will never provoke us. Provocation is an instrument of manipulation that is self center at its root.

thinks no Evil. Wow this is a big one. God doesn’t focus his attention on evil, He doesn’t consider it. He is pure. God’s love for means His heart and mind toward us are not filled will malice. What He sees are the plans and purposes He has laid out for each one of us. These are to prosper us never to hurt us.

Does not rejoice in iniquity. God’s love prevents Him from celebrating anything that is harmful to us. The wrong things the sinful things will never be pleasing to Him. He loves us! but the wrong in us He will never rejoice in.

Does rejoice in the truth! The truth will set us free. The truth might not always agree with us but it is for our own good! We need the truth and should love it! Jesus is the truth!

Bears all things - Stands all things, will remain with us through all things.

Believes all things - He will always believe! Faith! Hope! He stands believing in great things for us. Never will God act out of unbelief to our situations. His ways are higher! always!

Hopes all Things - hope is so inspirational God has hopes for you and me! How encouraging to know that our God has dreams for us!

Endures all things - He will run the race with us. He will put up us and our stuff, He won’t grow weary.

Love never Fails! God will never fail us. Everything else around us will fail but He will never fail!

God’s Love changes everything!

John 3:16 NKJV

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

I was lost. Now I am found

I was dead. Now I am alive

I was sick. Now I am healed

I was Broken now I am made whole

Romans 5:8 NKJV

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

God’s love came to us when we didn’t deserve it! It’s called grace!

Zephaniah 3:17 NKJV

The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

God’s Love comforts me! To know that I am loved, accepted and taken care of are really amazing things.

Zephaniah 3:17

Romans 8:37–39 NKJV

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God’s Love is stronger than anything out there

1 John 4:18 NKJV

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

Gods’ love removes all fear! we have nothing to fear!

1 Corinthians 13 NKJV

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And 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 have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

1 Cor 13
