1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
-
Love is the fruit of a restored personal relationship with God. We're talking about the love that only starts here...and continues forever. From the Grace of God, which means His extended love reaching our understanding....to Faith, which is the God-enabled response to bow in repentance and receive that love...to Hope, which is the assurance that we are now His...and His forever...to Joy and Peace as we walk out our days...and express Love, which is the eternal quality that crowns all of this.
And this ever lasting love is initiated in Heaven and shows through our hearts and minds because we no longer fear death or judgment. And this love shows the reality of Christ at work, loving through us.
-
1 John 4:17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.
1 Corinthians 13:13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends.
-
and neither will the life of the believer!
-
with love,
Rob Smith
