"Perfected Love"


“Perfected Love”



“No one has ever seen God.  If we love one another, God remains in us and His love is perfected in us.

And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.  God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. 

1 John 4:12,16



PERFECT LOVE, just what is PERFECT LOVE?  PERFECT LOVE is AGAPE LOVE or GODLY LOVE.  God is a SPIRIT, and NO ONE has actually SEEN GOD, the FATHER, in His absolute essential nature, with the exception of seeing Jesus Christ, who tells us that; if you have seen Him, you have seen the Father, because He is in the Father, and the Father is in Him.  In other words, Jesus is the MANIFESTATION of God and His PERFECTED LOVE. 



When a person becomes a TRUE BELIEVER, by giving their HEART and LIFE to God, one thing that CHARACTERIZES them is that they LOVE one another, and if this is TRUE for them, then God will REMAIN in them and HIS LOVE is PERFECTED in them.



Then they will come to KNOW and BELIEVE in the LOVE that God has for them, because God’s LOVE is PROVEN in the REDEMPTIVE WORK of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, on the Cross of Calvary.  And the DEMONSTRATION of that PERFECT LOVE is shown, not ONLY in the DEATH of Christ, but DEFINITELY in the RESURRECTION of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the VICTOR over DEATH and the GRAVE.  



It is ALL about LOVE, not like human LOVE, but the AGAPE or GODLY LOVE, because GOD is LOVE, and if one REMAINS in that LOVE, then they REMAIN in GOD, and GOD will REMAIN in them.  And His LOVE is PERFECTED in them.   Have you EXPERIENCED this LOVE?


If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE, to God, then you have NOT EXPERIENCED His LOVE, because you keep REJECTING it, because you REJECT His SON, Jesus.  However, because of God’s ABUNDANT MERCY and His AMAZING GRACE, you NOW have the opportunity to not ONLY RECEIVE God’s LOVE, but to be able to SHARE it with someone else.  But, in order to do that, you MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle and TURN to GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  Then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and allow His LOVE to be PERFECTED in YOU.  Do this NOW, while you still can, and receive HEAVEN as your ETERNAL HOME.   He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
