Religion & Spirituality
We don't get it! We may think that we do, but I really don't believe or even think we understand the love that God has for us. It is so easy to fall back on our limited understanding of what love is and how it is normally expressed in our world today, that we have dishonored God in the process. Because God is love, our expressions of love toward one another are evidence that we just don't get it. Jesus said that we are to love one another just as He has loved us. He has told us that because He died we all have died and that we no longer live for ourselves. Therefore the love of Christ should control us and we should no longer look at man according to the flesh.We are told that those who truly love are born of God. Those that do not love are not born of God nor do they know God at all. We can only love one another out of the overflow of our love relationship with Jesus Christ. Because God so loved the world we are to so love the people in this world as He did. God demonstrated His love toward us while we were yet sinners. It was the love of God that brought us to repentance. How is your love demonstrating the glory of God to the world you live in?
