GOD LOVES ?

<< < (2/2)

Ricky:
I think God has the future planned out for the reason why He loves us and the rest of His creation. I can't see us knowing that answer in this life. I sometimes think about why we love Him, and sit back and hope for the best that we are or at least trying to please Him. In any case a wise man may want to be prepared for the worst.   Bless u all.  Ricky

Joel:
1st John 4:8 says that God is Love.
God is Spirit, and he loves because he is Love. I am not love but I can love by the Spirit of God indwelling from within.
Galatians 5:22-23 listing the fruits of the Spirit, puts Love at the very top of the list.

Joel

Deborah-Leigh:

God loves His Image within us.  God is making us into that Image He loves, of Himself.

Love of God's Image within, is the work of God. Grace IS Divine influence on the heart.

Identify either with falsely perceived "own works" Ref LOF 15C “Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord has performed His whole work [‘For it is GOD which works in you {King of Assyria} both to will {‘Howbeit HE means not so neither does HIS heart think so…’} and to do {‘Shall I not, as I have DONE…” Says the King of Assyria in his presumed free will} of HIS good pleasure’ Phil. 2:13] upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will PUNISH the fruit of the stout [ARROGANT] heart of his high [HAUGHTY] looks.” (Isa.10:12)."

or by Grace, as Jesus, identify with God.   :)

Serving two masters is not merely impossible, it is a statement of absolute Truth!   ;D
