“A Different Kind of Love!”
Dear
Friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows
God. Whoever does not love does not know
God, because God is love. This is how
God showed His love among us; He sent His One and Only Son into the world that
we might live through Him. This is love:
not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning
sacrifice for our sins. (1st
John 4:7-9)
John, the
Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, immediately emphasizes that GOD IS LOVE, and
because God is LOVE, we SHOULD LOVE one another. Now, this LOVE that is discussed here, is NOT
like the LOVE that man has for a woman, or moms and dads have for their
children, nor is it the same kind of love that friends have for each
other. This LOVE is an AGAPE LOVE, or a
GODLY LOVE. And it is generated from a
REPENTANT HEART. In other words, it is a
LOVE that is demonstrated by God’s Holy Spirit which indwells EVERY TRUE
BELIEVER.
This type of
LOVE is DIFFERENT than HUMAN LOVE, it was NOT shown or given to us because we
FIRST LOVED God, because, before a person becomes a TRUE CHILD of God, they are
His enemies. they lived in REBELLION
against Him and His LAWS, and they did NOT show Him a LOVE that would COMPEL
Him to LOVE them BACK. This type LOVE is
a LOVE that is NOT based on CONDITIONS or CIRCUMSTANCES, neither is it based on
LOOKS, INTELLIGENCE, or one’s STATION in this life. But it is GIVEN to US, because GOD FIRST
LOVED US.
He
manifested His LOVE for ALL of MANKIND, by sending His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON into
this LOST and DYING world, as the ATONING SACRIFICE for our TRANSGRESSIONS. And for those who will ACCEPT His LOVE, exemplified
through the SHED BLOOD of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, they WILL have an
ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS. It is an AWESOME FEELING to
EXPERIENCE GOD’S UNFAILING LOVE, and to have the ASSURANCE of an ETERNITY in
HEAVEN.
Those, who are
God’s TRUE CHILDREN and are EXPERIENCING this DIFFERENT KIND of LOVE, need to
LOVE each other, and that MEANS you LOVE the others of GOD’S FAMILY, with the
LOVE of GOD. A LOVE that is PATIENT,
KIND, NOT ENVIOUS or BOASTFUL, PRIDEFUL, DISHONORABLE, or SELF-SEEKING, and
ANGRY, and does NOT KEEP RECORD of WRONGS. It does NOT DELIGHT in EVIL, but
REJOICES with the TRUTH. And it ALWAYS PROTECTS, TRUSTS, HOPES, and PERSEVERES. Are YOU experiencing GOD’S UNFAILING LOVE?
If you have
NOT given your HEART and LIFE to Him, then you definitely are NOT EXPERIENCING this
DIFFERENT KIND of LOVE, a LOVE that can determine your DESTINY. God LOVES YOU so MUCH that He gave His ONLY
SON to DIE in YOUR PLACE. He PAID the
PRICE for YOUR SINS. If you REJECT GOD’S
LOVE and His SON, YOU will spend ALL of ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS,
VOID of GOD’S LOVE, and NO WAY to ESCAPE.
In order to EXPERIENCE this DIFFERENT KIND of LOVE, you MUST BE WILLING
to TURN AWAY FROM, your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT
HEART. Then CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died
for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before
God. Then you MUST ACCEPT His Gift of
SALVATION, and EXPERIENCE A DIFFERENT KIND OF LOVE. Do this NOW, while you still can. He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
