love and god
beloved, let us love one another, for love is from god, and whoever loves has been born of god and knows god. anyone who does not love does not know god, because god is love. - 1 john 4: 7 - 8
dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from god. everyone who loves has been born of god and knows god. whoever does not love does not know god, because god is love .
~ 1 john 4: 7
no, god does not need us to love him. but oh, how we need to love god !
dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from god. everyone who loves has been born of god and knows god. whoever does not love does not know god, because god is love .
~ 1 john 4: 7 - 8
10. god’s love truly perceived always draws out from us a response of love .
god is love! if we want the perfect example of love, it is in our creator god. often, god' s love is referred to as agape love which is the highest form of love that is selfless and sacrificial. it is steadfast, unchanging, and unconditional. below are a few scripture examples of god' s great love for you !
know therefore that the lord your god is god, the faithful god who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations. - deuteronomy 7: 9
love quotes - read quotes and verses about loving others, your enemy, god, and even yourself .
but the reality of god’s love surrounds us day by day, as revealed in these inspiring bible verses about god’s love below. we learn that…
now therefore that the lord your god is god, the faithful god who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations .
~ deuteronomy 7: 9
the divine love of god turns ordinary acts into extraordinary service. divine love is the motive that transports simple words into sacred scripture. divine love is the factor that transforms reluctant compliance with god’s commandments into blessed dedication and consecration .

but you, o lord, are a god merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. - psalm 86: 15
think of the purest, most all - consuming love you can imagine. now multiply that love by an infinite amount—that is the measure of god’s love for you. 7
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 john 4: 16 - 18
love of god: his love manifested through his only begotten son jesus christ is the love of god .
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
( 1 john 4: 9 - 10) .
9. understanding the different manner of god’s love helps us to see its immeasurable magnitude .
god is love: it' s unconditional god is love, and his love is very different from human love. god' s love is unconditional, and it' s not based on feelings or emotions. he doesn' t love us because we' re lovable or because we make him feel good; he loves us because he is love. he created us to have a loving relationship with him, and he sacrificed his own son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship .
it is my hope that these bible verses about god' s love help you realize that god is for you and loves you more than you could ever imagine .

this is how god showed his love among us: he sent his one and only son into the world that we might live through him. this is love: not that we loved god, but that he loved us and sent his son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. dear friends, since god so loved us, we also ought to love one another. no one has ever seen god; but if we love one another, god lives in us and his love is made complete in us .
~ john 4: 9 - 12
and he has given us this command: anyone who loves god must also love their brother and sister .
~ 1 john 4: 21
this week, take a few minutes to meditate on these scriptures about god’s love and ask the lord to show how you can reflect his love to others in your life. god doesn' t want us to focus only on works that display love but on worshipping him with our heart, soul, and mind - by putting god first in our thoughts and actions .

6. god’s love must be
read
within the rest of what scripture teaches about his divine attributes .
the bible says that god is love, which makes it the perfect source to learn how to love others, even those who are difficult for us to. our world has skewed the meaning of true love but god' s word remains a steadfast, true source of knowledge on how to love. read and meditate on this list of scripture from the holy bible and begin seeing the change in your heart and mind that comes from pursuing self - less love !
graham and his mother both love god... but in very different ways. will graham consummate his unholy fantasy, and can it live up to his expectations ?
in this the love of god was made manifest among us, that god sent his only son into the world so that we might live through him. in this is love, not that we have 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: 9 - 11
the contemplation of divine love in its biblical fullness is never something that ends in itself. our rest in god never finds its fulfillment in ourselves but always leads us out of ourselves toward him and toward others. the love of god is to be lived as well as learned. the love of god for us begets love in us for him and for others. the true word of love that we have in the bible, if we have it truly, will abide in us, and will not return empty as, by miracles of grace, we make glancing reflections of the immeasurable love of god visible to others in our own lives .

further, the wider context in john’s writings will repeatedly connect the love of god to his triune life. john delights to write of the father’s love for the son and the son’s love for the father. he even records the lord jesus saying that the father loves him because he lays down his life (john 10: 17). love is not unique for being a trinitarian attribute: all the attributes of god are the attributes of the one god who is three persons, but we must never miss the trinitarian character of the love of god .
love of god: is the creator a god of love? is there such a thing as the
love of god ?
is the creator a god of love? or is he an angry god? is he passive and complacent? or has he revealed his demeanor at all? christians believe in a god of love. they feel as though god has proved his love towards man through the gift of his son, jesus christ, who suffered upon the cross as a propitiation for our sins. truly, to die for another is proof of your love .
greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends .
( john 15: 13). however, does christ represent god in his death upon the cross? did jesus even die upon a cross? did he even exist as an historical figure at all? or is he merely a myth - - a good story about a good man ?
many of us grow up doubting the love of god because of the relationships we have with others. broken relationships, hurt from others, or even our own bad choices and cause us to doubt why god would choose to love us. sometimes well - meaning churches even misguide us into thinking that we need to earn god' s love by behaving or acting
good enough
. god demonstrated the greatest act of love when jesus christ died on the cross for us. we no longer have to work toward being love, it is given freely for all .
god loves us. we know that in our minds, but often we don’t live that way. we forget about the bible verses about god' s love that reaffirm to us his care and concern for us .
no human mind can comprehend god. we cannot define god. we cannot provide a comprehensive account of who he is. he
dwells in unapproachable light
( 1 tim. 6: 16). if god is incomprehensible, then so is his love. while we may and must speak truthfully about his love, we can never fathom it, because it is divine love, as different from our love as his being is different from our being .
love is the guiding light that illuminates the disciple’s path and fills our daily walk with life, meaning, and wonder .
god shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, christ died for us. - romans 5: 8
we are not free to pick up the ball of
god is love
and run with it wherever we will. the statement must remain tethered within its immediate context in 1 john 4, within the broader context of john’s writings, and within the ultimate context of god’s entire self - description in scripture. the local context immediately reminds us (in verse 10) of the connection between love and propitiation, which requires that we understand god’s love alongside his justice and wrath. the ultimate context of scripture will bring alongside his love all of the other attributes of god. together they will form a self - regulating mesh of meaning .
as christians and followers of jesus christ, the bible tells us that the world will know us by our love. the greatest testimony that we can be is to love those around us - whether family, friends or stranger. god puts no limits on love. the below scripture will guide you in choosing to
put on love
!

~ 1 john 4: 11
god is love: how do we define love ?
god is love
, but how do we define it? the american heritage dictionary defines love as
an intense affection for another person based on familial or personal ties
. often this
intense affection
stems from a sexual attraction for that other person. we love other people, or we say we love other people, when we are attracted to them and when they make us feel good. notice that a key phrase in the dictionary definition of love is the phrase
based on .
this phrase implies that we love conditionally; in other words, we love someone because they fulfill a condition that we require before we can love them. how many times have you heard or said ,
i love you because you are cute ;
or
i love you because you take good care of me ;
or
i love you because you are fun to be with
? our love is not only conditional, it is also mercurial. we love based on feelings and emotions that can change from one moment to the next. the divorce rate is extremely high in today' s society because husbands and wives supposedly stop loving one another - or they
fall out of love
. they may go through a rough patch in their marriage, and they no longer
feel
love for their spouse, so they call it quits. evidently, their marriage vow of
till death do us part
means they can part at the death of their love for their spouse rather than at their physical death. can anyone really comprehend
unconditional
love? it seems the love that parents have for their children is as close to unconditional love as we can get without the help of god' s love in our lives. we continue to love our children through good times and bad, and we don' t stop loving them if they don' t meet the expectations we may have for them. we make a choice to love our children even when we consider them unlovable; our love doesn' t stop when we don' t
feel
love for them. this is similar to god' s love for us, but as we shall see, god' s love transcends the human definition of love to a point that is hard for us to comprehend .
because love is the great commandment, it ought to be at the center of all and everything we do in our own family, in our church callings, and in our livelihood. love is the healing balm that repairs rifts in personal and family relationships. it is the bond that unites families, communities, and nations. love is the power that initiates friendship, tolerance, civility, and respect. it is the source that overcomes divisiveness and hate. love is the fire that warms our lives with unparalleled joy and divine hope. love should be our walk and our talk .
love is perhaps the most obvious attribute for consideration from a trinitarian perspective, but we more readily observe that than grasp the theological consequences of it. what a difference it will make if, for example, we recall that the love of god is rooted in the father’s love for his son and his resulting will to see the son honored (john 5: 22–23). then we will not infer from
god is love
that he easily overlooks sin, because we will grasp that christ - dishonoring sin is itself an offense against the very heart of god’s love. from god’s love for his son will follow his wrath against sinners. it is only when we read the love of god like this that we will be prevented from reaching false conclusions from it by making our own natural minds the context in which we interpret it .
love does no harm to a neighbor. therefore love is the fulfillment of the law .

“the most important one, ” answered jesus, “is this: ‘hear, o israel: the lord our god, the lord is one. love the lord your god with all your heart and with 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: 29 - 31
we are created in the image of our heavenly parents; we are god’s spirit children. therefore, we have a vast capacity for love—it is part of our spiritual heritage. what and how we love not only defines us as individuals; it also defines us as a church. love is the defining characteristic of a disciple of christ .
i testify that god is in his heaven. he lives. he knows and loves you. he is mindful of you. he hears your prayers and knows the desires of your heart. he is filled with infinite love for you .
however, seeking god with all our hearts implies much more than simply offering a prayer or pronouncing a few words inviting god into our lives. “for this is the love of god, that we keep his commandments. ” 13 we can make a great production of saying that we know god. we can proclaim publicly that we love him. nevertheless, if we don’t obey him, all is in vain, for “he that saith, i know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ” 14

god created and instituted marriage. the bible is the only true source for the definition of marriage and roles of husband and wife. whether you are looking for scripture to include in your wedding vows during the ceremony or looking to renew the love in your marriage, this collection of bible verses will provide excellent encouragement and inspiration .
this is how we know what love is: jesus christ laid down his life for us. and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. if anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of god be in that person? dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth .
~ 1 john 3: 16 - 18
we increase our love for our heavenly father and demonstrate that love by aligning our thoughts and actions with god’s word. his pure love directs and encourages us to become more pure and holy. it inspires us to walk in righteousness—not out of fear or obligation but out of an earnest desire to become even more like him because we love him. by doing so, we can become “born again … [ and ] cleansed by blood, even the blood of [ the ] only begotten; that [ we ] might be sanctified from all sin, and enjoy the words of eternal life in this world, and eternal life in the world to come, even immortal glory. ” 15
since the beginning of time, love has been the source of both the highest bliss and the heaviest burdens. at the heart of misery from the days of adam until today, you will find the love of wrong things. and at the heart of joy, you will find the love of good things .

let us be known as a people who love god with all our heart, soul, and mind and who love our neighbor as ourselves. when we understand and practice these two great commandments in our families, in our wards and branches, in our nations, and in our daily lives, we will begin to understand what it means to be a true disciple of jesus the christ. of this i testify in the sacred name of jesus christ, amen .
he loves us because he is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure, and indescribable love. we are important to god not because of our résumé but because we are his children. he loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. god’s love is so great that he loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked .
god the eternal father did not give that first great commandment because he needs us to love him. his power and glory are not diminished should we disregard, deny, or even defile his name. his influence and dominion extend through time and space independent of our acceptance, approval, or admiration .
“as the father has loved me, so have i loved you. now remain in my love. if you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as i have kept my father’s commands and remain in his love .
~ john 15: 9 - 10
we are often less alert to the ways in which the love language is to be interpreted in the light of god’s other descriptions of himself. this comes out very clearly when someone says something like ,
if i were a god of love then i ...
the reasoning that follows is usually untethered from god’s wider portrayal of himself in scripture. when we do this god becomes in effect just a massive projection of our own selves, a shadow cast onto a screen behind us with all of our own features magnified and exaggerated. whereas it may be immediately obvious to us that god will not decide to stop loving us, for some reason it is less obvious that his love is different from our love in other ways, such as in being self - sufficient, sovereign, unchanging, all - knowing, just, and passionless (yes, rightly understood) .
god does not look on the outward appearance. 8 i believe that he doesn’t care one bit if we live in a castle or a cottage, if we are handsome or homely, if we are famous or forgotten. though we are incomplete, god loves us completely. though we are imperfect, he loves us perfectly. though we may feel lost and without compass, god’s love encompasses us completely .

we love because he first loved us .
~ 1 john 4: 19
and over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity .
~ colossians 3: 14
through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of god. more than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because god’s love has been poured into our hearts through the holy spirit who has been given to us. - romans 5: 2 - 5

a pressing question then arises: how do we know which aspects of each picture that god draws of himself we are to apply to him and which we are not? how do we know that we are not to infer that his love might ebb and flow as human love can, even that it might fail? this may seem obvious to us, but that is only because we have to some extent already learned how to read the bible properly. what, when we stop and think about it, is the reason that we do not infer this? the reason is that other ways in which god describes himself prevent us doing so—for example, his repeated self - description as a covenant - keeping god who makes solemn oaths to his people. the bible is a self - interpreting book: what it says in one part shows us how we are to read another part. its many pictures of god form a self - interpreting mesh of images. and that includes its pictures of his love .

and to fill that statement with whatever our human minds suggest. certainly it requires less mental effort just to let our own minds generate our theology, rather than to subject them to the disciplined study of god’s self - revelation in scripture. but at the end of the day a god who is little more than a projection of my own mind can never satisfy me. worshipping such a god would be like being locked in a room with only myself as company, a kind of theological solitary confinement, a terrible narcissistic solipsism, and ultimately a form of self - worshipping idolatry akin in some ways to hell itself. there is no satisfaction on this road, only bitter disappointment. it is meditation on the authoritative self - revelation of god in its fullness that will bring rest for our souls, the rest of finding in him one who infinitely exceeds our own puny finitude, one whose delights can never be exhausted .
the lord your god is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. - zephaniah 3: 17

love is patient, love is kind. it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. it does not dishonor others, it is not self - seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. love never fails .

love is patient, love is kind. it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud... it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preseveres. - 1 corinthians 13: 4 - 8
then the lord god made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. the man said, “this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman, ’ for she was taken out of man. ” that is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh .

wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the lord. husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them .

when god uses created things like lions to speak about himself in the bible he is speaking analogically. this means that the things he uses to describe himself are neither identical with him, nor utterly different from him. he is a rock, for example, not because he is made of stone. when he says
rock
of himself, we are not to map all the rockiness of a rock onto him point - for - point. but nor are we to think that he is he entirely unrocky, discontinuous in every way with rocks. when he says that he is a rock he means some of what we mean when we say that a rock is a rock: he is not made of stone, but he is solid and reliable. how is it possible for created things to image god for us like this? it is possible precisely because he created them. it is as if his fingerprints are left on the things he has made, so that each of them contains a pale reflection of some of his divine attributes. our fallen minds cannot piece together a picture of god from what he has made—indeed we suppress his natural revelation—but in his inspired word he himself can use those things to describe himself, and then he can illuminate our minds to understand and believe those descriptions. this all applies to god’s love: when we read
god is love
we know something of what love is from what he has made, but his love is never to be identified point - for - point with any created love that we already know .
i have been crucified with christ. it is no longer i who live, but christ who lives in me. and the life i now live in the flesh i live by faith in the son of god who loved me and gave himself for me. - galatians 2: 20

as the father has loved me, so have i loved you. abide in my love. if you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as i have kept my father’s commandments and abide in his love. these things i have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. this is my commandment, that you love one another as i have loved you. greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. you are my friends if you do what i command you. no longer do i call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but i have called you friends, for all that i have heard from my father i have made known to you. you did not choose me, but i chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the father in my name, he may give it to you. these things i command you, so that you will love one another. - john 15: 9 - 17
