LOVE IN TRUTH



Colossians 3:14 But above all these things put on love which is the bond of perfection
1 John 4:8 He who does not love does not know God for God is love

This two verses just spoke masses  to me..
We say love here love there
What is love?? Really what is love
The oxford dictionary defines it as: a strong feeling of affection, a great interest and pleasure in something
People’s definition is more less the same thing: emotions, feelings, actions like flowers or gifts, desires  etc.
Well according to Holy Bible the bond of perfection is love
And what is love??
Love is God.  Why do I say this?? I say this because the Holy Bible says it.
How do we prove this???
Plain and simple…
John 3 :16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life ….
Still not in seing it ??
1 John 4:8  He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
 More prove??
 
John 1:1
 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
And then
John 1:14
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
This just sums it all together God came in flesh through his son Jesus to carry our disgrace to save us from hell… He left his Holy throne to come down all the way to our level, to feel the burden of sin which he never felt before, to be separated from his father for our sake... For our salvation.
As 1 John 4: 9 says 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.
 Rom 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

We can’t even halfway try to explain what he went through, the pain the anguish the sorrow NOTHING… But knowing this we can ask God to enlargen our capacity to love and for him to keep expressing it to us.
You want love… that’s love. Perfect love... the bond of perfection God.
