THE LOVE NATURE
“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”
1 John 4:8
Main Text: Main Text: John 3:16
God is love! God is love!! God is love!!! This cannot be overemphasized, its impossible for God to hate anyone, the only thing God hates is sin, God loves the sinner but hates the sin, His eyes cannot behold iniquity! Now, we have His nature, this means we are love! We don’t have it in us to hate, the only thing we should be capable of hating is sin! David caught this light; which was why He said “I hate them with perfect hatred which hate thy law” More so, scripture says, owe no man nothing but to love them! Romans 13:8.
Can you visualize a man walking in God, living in God and not exhibiting the traits of love? When you walk with God, your entire being is saturated with love, your words drip with love, your entire being is love saturated, this is what it means by being a New Man, you become engulfed with the Love of God.
1 John 4:6 “We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” We are of love! Our DNA is embedded with love, its impossible for us to hate our fellow man, the reality of the New Birth is a walk in love! Let the Love of Christ swallow you up! Amen!
Confession:
I choose to love the Lord, I walk in love, I do not have any trace of hate in me, my entirety is birth in love! Hallelujah! Glory be to God.
Further Reading:
1 John 4:16-18 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 Corinthians 16:14 Do everything in love.
