God's Love for Us

*GOD’S LOVE FOR US* 


God’s love gives us a new understanding of what it means to love ourselves and others. God is love, so let’s explore how He tells us to love.


Head

What is Love?

When you think of love, what is the first thing that pops into your head? Is it a sweet romance, family relationships, or the way you and your best friend always have each other’s backs? Do you think of things you love — like pizza, movies, or music? Does God’s love for us come to mind? 

There are four different types of love described in the Bible:

Eros: Romantic love between two people.

Philia: Brotherly love (like you would find between best friends).

Storge: Family love and affection (For example, your parents’ love toward you).

Agape: Unconditional love. Agape describes God’s love for us.


Ways God Shows His Love For Us

Do you realize that God is a loving God? How do you see His love in your life? Take a few minutes and list at least three ways He shows you love. God has shown His love toward humanity since creation. Even after sin entered the world, God promised His love to every generation. He promised never to leave us and that He would help us. The ultimate act of God’s love for us was when He sent Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins and resurrected Him three days later. 

God meets our deepest needs and the longings of our vhearts. There is nothing that we could ever do to earn His love or stop Him from loving us. 


Use your Bible to look up verses about God’s love for us. Write down your favorites. Memorize them with your friends. Knowing His Word will help you remember His love and will sustain you when you feel lonely or unloved. 

Here are a few verses to get you started:

John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”

Romans 5:8: “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Psalm 36:7: “How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.”

Jeremiah 31:3: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.”

Romans 8:37-39 “In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”


Heart

How God Calls us to Love

God’s love isn’t a one-way street. He also calls us to love one another! He commands us to love Him, love ourselves, and love others. Do you feel that sometimes that’s easier said than done? No one is perfect in how they love; only God is perfect. However, with His help, we can strive to be Christ-like in the way we love.

John tells us, “We love because God first loved us” (1 John 4:19). He instructs us, “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). 

Let’s take a closer look at how God tells us to love.

1. Loving God

The greatest commandment in the Bible is: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” (Mark 12:30). We know we are supposed to love Him, but how do we do it? Jesus tells us, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him” (John 14:23).

Jesus promises us that if we love Him and keep His commandments, we will have a relationship with God. He will send the gift of His Holy Spirit to live in our hearts and be our ever-present guide and helper (Acts 2:38).

I Will Build My Church - Matthew16:13-19

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
