There are hundreds of verses in the Bible on the word “love”. It is a wonderful word study.
There are 4 types of love in the Bible.
Phillia Love – A love that is affectionate but not romantic. This love is usually shared between family and friends.
Eros love – A love that is romantic between a man and woman.
Philautia Love – Is a love and respect we should have for ourselves and the Holy Spirit indwelling within us.
Mania Love – This is a love in which we are obsessed. This love leads to false idols and putting things on a pedestal higher than God
Today we have looked at some interesting facts, however, we can know all about the word LOVE but until we experience God’s love all our knowledge means nothing.
The love of GOD for us is found in the familiar verse, John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Do you stop and really thank Jesus for His death on the cross. He died not because He had to, but because He loves us so much He chose to go to the cross.
The Bible says without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness for our sin. Jesus shed His own blood for you and me. What great love.
❤️ 💕 💗 February is here and we turn our thoughts to love. Hearts, flowers and romance is the theme for February in the world.
This month the main subject for February for us will be about God’s Love for us and the heart.
The greatest love story of all time and eternity is God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to come into the world as a baby, grow up in the world as a man, die on the cross and 3 days later He arose!
Why? The answer is for you and me. God loves us so much He wants us to have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Intimacy with God requires a repentant heart. In His love, God says when we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to cleanse us. That cleansing restores our fellowship with Him.
God hates sin because He is Holy and Righteous. Sin is anything we have done that God has commanded us not to do.
All have sinned and come short. You can watch a small child only months old and already they are sinners. Selfishness and disobedience. They will be playing and grab a toy from another child, hit or bite.
Jesus paid the penalty for all our sins if we by faith ask His forgiveness, repent of our sin and put our trust in Him.
We are all sinners, not seeking God. But, He has great love for us, He sent Jesus to die on the cross, be buried and 3 days later Jesus arose from the dead, to pay the penalty for our sin.
If we accept Jesus as our Savior, then GOD shows His mercy toward us and we are born again.
The way the world is today, we wonder why God allows sin, wars, murders and all kind of evil to continue.
God wants all people to be saved. He is long suffering so everyone has opportunity to hear the gospel.
However, the time will come when He will be done and the door will shut and you will no longer be able to come to know Jesus. If you have not made the decision to accept Jesus as your Savior, do it today before it’s too late.
If you are a Christian it is your responsibility to be a witness to others. Do you want to stand before GOD empty handed?
