"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' there is no commandment greater than these." Mark 12:30-31.
Know God Through Love
Beloved, let us love one
another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows
God. He who does not love does not know
God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that
God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through
Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His
Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also
ought to love one another - 1 John 4:7-11.
See God Through Love
No one has seen God at
any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been
perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He
has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has
sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of
God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love
that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and
God in him - 1 John 4:12-16.
Love others
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us, If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also - 1 John 4:17-21.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help
us to love others like how You loved us and gave Your life for us. In Jesus’
name we pray. Amen.
