AGAPE LOVE OF GOD FOR YOU!!

"And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. GOD IS LOVE...1 John 4:16. (Ampv). My friend this Sunday morning do you know the God whom you are worshiping? Only three things in the Bible are said to be the nature of God. It says, GOD IS LIGHT. GOD IS SPIRIT. AND GOD IS LOVE. He's not just loving. HE IS LOVE! Those saturated in God's love don't sell out to win the love of others. We fear rejection, so we follow the crowd. We fear not fitting in, so we take the drugs. For fear of standing out, we wear what everyone else wears. Hey, hey, do you think we need to? If we cuss less, pray more, drink less, study more...if I try harder, perhaps God will love me more? NO! OF COURSE, WE ALL NEED IMPROVEMENT AND LIVE A HOLY LIFE NOT CONFORMING TO THE WORLD, BUT WE DON'T NEED TO WOO GOD'S LOVE. I heard a story of a little boy whose sister needed a transfusion. The boy had recovered from same disease in the past and was perfect rare blood match and he was the ideal donor. The doctors asked him if he would give his blood to his sister. He hesitated and looked scary for a moment. Then He smiled and said "Sure for my sister I'd do that". When the transfusion was nearly over, he asked the Doctor "Doctor, when Do I die"? He thought by giving blood he would die. Then again, he loved her so much he would do it anyway. Isn't that what God did on the cross for us. God's love doesn't expect any return from us. AGAPE LOVE!!! How much does Jesus love you? HE SAID, "THIS MUCH" AND HE STRETCHED OUT HIS ARMS AND HE DIED. For YOU AND ME....Let's worship Him this morning, not lip service, but from the heart..OK.
