PRACTICE LOVE ALWAYS

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 1 John 4:7Amp

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves (his fellow men) is begotten of God and is coming [progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive] and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him.

Additional Verses

📖 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; 1 John 4:7-21

Love is perfect understanding of God, and love is the nature of God. The Bible teaches that God is love. It is only God who is perfect. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” It is through His perfect understanding that He gave up His only Son our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ to die for our sins. Everyone who receives the Son of God, has the love of God in him and it is he or she that is able to practice love always. The definition that love is perfect understanding, further reveals that to every child of God, it is not possible to practice love when you do not have the understanding of what love exactly is, from the Word of God. According to Isaiah 11:2, understanding for children of God is one of the Seven Spirits of God. You cannot not have the true love of God when you have not yet been fully established in the Spirit of Understanding. Understanding grows in you when you seek to know more about the wisdom of God which is actually the product of the development and establishment of the Spirit of Wisdom in you. Also, according to Isaiah 11:2, the Spirit of Wisdom is among the Seven Spirits of God. The Wisdom of God reveals to you the nature of God which is love. This means that in order for you to be perfected in God’s love you must practice love always. In other words when you do what the Word of God teaches you, you are practicing love. Love cannot be love in the absence of obedience to what the Word of God says about you and your world. 1 Corinthians 13:3 says, “And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.” Love is evidence of Christ’s presence in your life. Begin therefore to let love lead your life from today and I tell you, the glory of God will always be manifested in your life always. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear Father in Heaven, I bless You for showing me how to practice love. I pray that I always practice the true love that comes only from You. Help me to always show love for Your Word as well. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.
