JESUS CHRIST AND HIS PERFECT LOVE

JESUS CHRIST AND HIS PERFECT LOVE

1 John 4:7-21 

Beloved, Let Us Love One Another: For Love Is Of God; And Every One That Loveth Is Born Of God, And Knoweth God. He That Loveth Not Knoweth Not God; For God Is Love. In This Was Manifested The Love Of God Toward Us, Because That God Sent His Only Begotten Son Into The World, That We Might Live Through Him. Herein 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 Ought Also To Love One Another. No Man Hath Seen God At Any Time. If We Love One Another, God Dwelleth In Us, And His Love Is Perfected In Us. Hereby Know We That We Dwell In Him, And He In Us, Because He Hath Given Us Of His Spirit. And We Have Seen And Do Testify That The Father Sent The Son To Be The Saviour Of The World. Whosoever Shall Confess That Jesus Is The Son Of God, God Dwelleth In Him, And He In God. And We Have Known And Believed The Love That God Hath To Us. God Is Love; And He That Dwelleth In Love Dwelleth In God, And God In Him. Herein Is Our Love Made Perfect, 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 Casteth Out Fear: Because Fear Hath Torment. He That Feareth Is Not Made Perfect In Love. We Love Him, Because He First Loved Us. If A Man Say, I Love God, And Hateth His Brother, He Is A Liar: For He That Loveth Not His Brother Whom He Hath Seen, How Can He Love God Whom He Hath Not Seen? And This Commandment Have We From Him, That He Who Loveth God Love His Brother Also.

The world has so many things they call love, but if you do not have The Holy Spirit Of God, then you don't know pure love. People fall in love because of looks, money, education, and status, but those are the world's types of love. Looks fade, money dwindles, education gets outdated, and situations change daily. I was not Saved when I was married,  but I thought my opinion of love was the only way. I saw divorces of nearly everyone around me, and those that stayed married were few and far between. We believed that if you displeased me, I would change you like a stinking garment for something new. Marriage had nothing to do with God or His Word, just the world's version of love. I know a little about hoods, mean street schools with rioting, but I do not know enough of them and their homelives to say why they wanted to be mean to others; I just know that none of us knew God. Hatred and meanness are rampant today, just like when I was growing up, if not worse. We Christians need to be sharing God And His Word today more than ever. We must know that love turns away wrath, so many people need to know JESUS CHRIST AND HIS PERFECT LOVE.
