Love Like God

1 John 4:16
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

God is love. Throughout this week in prayer, I kept praying about loving one another. God has been telling us to love our brothers and sisters. Sometimes when you pray God will show you different things and as I was praying, I begin to talk about how God is love, and if we can’t love one another, then do we really have God in us? God does everything out of love. Think about it: he created a whole universe, he created people, he sent himself as his son Jesus, who died on the cross for our sins, etc.

God did all of this because he loves us. God corrects us, teaches us, rewards us, comforts us, etc. Because he LOVES us. If we say we are saved and we can’t love one another, then are we really saved? Because if we live in love, we live in God, and God will live in us. So, if we don’t have love, how can God live in us? We need to make sure that we truly love God, because if you don’t, then you can’t love others.

The world says love is the most powerful thing, and yes that’s true. It’s not how they want us to think love is, but God’s love is the most powerful.

If God didn’t love his children, why would he go through torture to save us. We have to want to love like God. It isn't impossible to love, but if you can’t seem to love others check and see if God is living in you.
