HAVE YOU TRULY EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF LOVE?


                                                                     
              A GREAT LOVE


“…The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).


                       * 


“…The fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…HerEIN is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (substitute, intervention) for our sins…” (1 John 4:10 KJV). “…For God so loved the world, that HE GAVE his only begotten (supernaturally created) Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life…” (John 3:16 KJV). GOD LOVES BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.

GOD GAVE his SON, the indwelling HOLY Spirit, as an expression of his LOVE. “…For God SO LOVED the world, that he GAVE” (John 3:16 KJV).…God ….GAVE his only begotten (supernaturally created) Son” (John 3:16 KJV).   “…NOT that we loved God, but that HE LOVED US... (1 John 4:10 KJV). ….HE FIRST LOVED US” (1 John 4:19 ASV). “…God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us…” (Romans 5:5 NIV). GOD'S LOVE GIVES.

“…God’s love has been poured out into our hearts …” (Romans 5:5 NIV). “…The Holy Spirit gives birth to… [LOVE]…” (John 3:6 NLT). “…The fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). GOD'S LOVE "BONDS" WITH YOU THROUGH HIS HOLY SPIRIT.

“…love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten (a new creature, restored) of God, and knoweth God (is one SPIRIT with him). He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love…” (1 John 4:7-8 ASV). GOD'S KIND OF LOVE ORIGINATES FROM HIM AND EMPOWERS YOU TO LOVE "LIKE" HIM. 

The spiritually DEAD and unrestored soul does NOT “KNOW” God. “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…He that loveth not knoweth not God” (1 John 4:7-8 ASV). GOD IS LOVE. LOVE IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT. HIS HOLY SPIRIT PRODUCES THE FRUIT OF HOLY LOVE "IN" AND "THROUGH"  YOU. YOU WILL KNOW GOD'S PEOPLE "BY" THE "WAY" THEY LOVE.

“…[HOLY] … 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…” (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 NIV).

God, through the indwelling HOLY Spirit, POURS HOLY LOVE into the human heart. “…God’s [HOLY] … love has been poured out into our hearts …” (Romans 5:5 NIV).  “…God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son “INTO” OUR HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…The fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…The Holy Spirit gives birth to… [LOVE]…” (John 3:6 NLT). “…[One of] … the fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “….CONTINUE IN  (STAY BONDED TO) MY LOVE….” (JOHN 15:9 KJV).

“…[One of] … the fruit of the Spirit is … love …[LOVE is]... the perfect BOND of UNITY...” (Colossians 3:14 NASB & Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).  The perfect bond” MEANS you are UNITED by God’s LOVE and INSEPARABLE from his LOVE through the indwelling Holy Spirit. … [Nothing] … will be able to separate … [you] … from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:31-39 NASB). Jesus Christ (God’s LOVE) is in you” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…He that is joined unto the Lord is ONE spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV). “…The Lord is that Spirit…” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). “…[One of] … the fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).

Jesus said, “…abide in  (STAY WITH) me, and I in  (WILL STAY WITH) you…” (John 15:4 KJV). “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).  “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…The Lord  (also the WORD) is that Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). “…He that is joined unto the Lord (Jesus the WORD) is ONE spirit… [with God]…” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV). “…[One of] … the fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me…” (John 15:4 KJV). “…I am the vine, you are the branches…” (John 15:1-11 NASB).

 “…It is the SPIRIT who gives (produces) [HOLY LOVE]…” (John 6:63 NASB). “…God’s [HOLY] … love has been poured out into our hearts …” (Romans 5:5 NIV).  “…. old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).  … [Nothing] … will be able to separate … [you] … from the [HOLY] ... love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (the WORD of God)” (Romans 8:31-39 NASB).

 “… [You might be able to] … speak with the tongues of men and of angel … [You might] … have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and … [you might] …have all faith, so as to remove mountains …  And … [you may] … give all … [your] … possessions to feed the poor, and … [you may] …surrender …[your] … body to be burned, but …[if you] do not have  [HOLY] … love (GOD IS LOVE), it profits … [you] … nothing.…” (1 Corinthians 13:1-3 KJV). “….Apart from Me (GOD), you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). “…God is [HOLY] ...LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).

God is the ONLY one who can IMPART spiritual and HOLY LOVE. “…It is the SPIRIT who gives (produces) [spiritual, HOLY LOVE]…” (John 6:63 NASB). “…The Holy Spirit gives birth to… SPIRITUAL … [HOLY LOVE] …” (John 3:6 NLT). “….Apart from Me (GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT), you can do nothing (you can not love with an HOLY LOVE)…” (John 15:5 NIV).

LOVE is a responsibility God provides, empowers, or manages in the relationship with the believer. God is fully accountable for the covenant relational, HOLY LOVE. God can be relied upon or depended upon to faithfully maintain and sustain HOLY LOVE. “…If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is…” (2 Timothy 2:13 NLT).

The indwelling Holy Spirit is PROOF that YOU are LOVED. “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “… The Spirit Himself testifies[within us]that we are … [LOVED] … children of God…” (Romans 8:16 NASB). . “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV).  “…The Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV).  “…The fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).

GOD’s LOVES you FIRST. “…he first loved us” (1 John 4:19 ASV). “…NOT THAT WE LOVED, God, but that HE LOVED US... (1 John 4:10 KJV). “…We give [God]...only what [he]…first gave us! …” (1 Chronicles 29:14 NLT).

GOD’s love is expressed through his INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT, and THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT is how he connects, INTERACTS, AND REVEALS HIMSELF to the believer.  … He that is joined (in a relationship with) unto the LORD “is” ONE SPIRIT…” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV). “…God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them…” (Revelation 21:3 NLT). “…The Spirit of God dwell[s]… in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). (Hebrews 1:9 NASB). “…My Presence will go with you…” (Exodus 33:14 NIV). “…I am with you always, to the very end…"(Matthew 28:20 NIV). God will “…Never leave nor forsake you…” (Hebrews 13:5 KJV).  

The ample expression and revelation of LOVE is one of the responsibilities (tasks) God carries out in his RELATIONSHIP ROLE with the believer. “…I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love …[toward you]…” (Jeremiah 9:23-24 NLT). “…God … [demonstrated] … his love toward … [you], in that, while … [you] … were yet sinners, Christ DIED FOR US…” (Romans 5:8 KJV).

GOD IMPARTS LOVE. “…God’s love has been poured out into our hearts …” (Romans 5:5 NIV). “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son “INTO” [YOUR HEART]…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…The fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…The Lord is that Spirit…” too (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV).  “…The Holy Spirit gives birth to SPIRITUAL [LOVE]…” (John 3:6 NLT). “…It is the SPIRIT who gives [LOVE]…” (John 6:63 NASB).

GOD EMPOWERS LOVE. …That great Shepherd of the sheep, EQUIP (empower) you with everything good [the FRUIT of Love]… for doing his will, and may he work in us (the FRUIT of his LOVE) what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…It is God which worketh IN YOU both to will (be empowered) and to do (behave lovingly)” (Philippians 2:13 KJV).

God supplies love. “…God shall supply ALL YOUR NEED according to his riches in glory (according to the riches of his indwelling presence) BY Christ Jesus…” (Philippians 4:19 KJV).….The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. ….” (PSALM 23:1-3 NLT). “…God will generously PROVIDE all … [the love] … you need…” (2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT).

GOD’S LOVE NEVER CHANGES OR FAILS. “…Love never fails” (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 NIV). “…. The … faithful love of the Lord, never ends...” (Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT). “…I am the Lord, I change NOT” (Malachi 3:6 KJV).  “…Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 NIV).

GOD’S LOVE CAN’T BE SEPARATED FROM YOU, EVEN IF YOU SEPARATE FROM HIM. … [Nothing] … will be able to separate … [you] … from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:31-39 NASB). “…ABIDE in My love…” (John 15:1-11 NASB). “…I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, to the very end…"(Matthew 28:20 NIV). “…I “IN” YOU…” (John 15:4 KJV). “…If … [you] … are unfaithful, he remains faithful…” (2 Timothy 2:13 NLT).

GOD’S LOVE LASTS FOREVER. God, through Christ, has “….loved [you]...with an everlasting love….” (Jeremiah 31:3 KJV). “…[HIS HOLY] … love will last forever!” (1 Corinthians 4:7 NLT). “…Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love…” (1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT).

GOD’S LOVE IS SO POWERFUL IT IS A “SIGN” THAT YOU ARE HIS DISCIPLES AND THAT YOU “TRULY” KNOW HIM. “…all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have [HOLY] … love for one another" (John 13:35 NASB). “…Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…Ye shall know them by their fruits (one of the fruit of the Spirit is HOLY LOVE)…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV). Therefore, "… bear much fruit (fruitful, HOLY LOVE), and … PROVE to be … [God’s] … disciples” (John 15:8 NIV).

GOD’S holy, fruitful LOVE have special characteristics. “…The fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…[holy] …. 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…” (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 NIV).

God’s holy love is understood or made aware of by faith or by depending upon god to reveal it. “… BY FAITH we UNDERSTAND (become aware of)that what we now see (God’s Spiritual FRUIT of HOLY LOVE working "IN" and "THROUGH" us) did not come from anything that can be seen (his indwelling Holy Spirit)…” (Hebrews 11 NLT). “…[One of] …. the fruit of the (invisible) Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…The invisible [Spirit]…from the creation of the world is …clearly seen, being understood by the things that are MADE …” (Romans 1:20 KJV). “… All things are … [MADE] … NEW…” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). “…Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is …[MADE] … a NEW creature ” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). “… BY FAITH  (by depending upon God) we UNDERSTAND (become aware of) …” (Hebrews 11 NLT). “…Ye shall know them by their fruits (fruit of HOLY LOVE)…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV). “…The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in [y]our lives….” (Galatians 5 NLT). 

GOD”S LOVE IS EXPERIENCED BY TRUST, by faith, or by depending upon god. Trust in  (have faith in or depending upon) the Lord with all thine heart…” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “ …. lean not unto thine own understanding…” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV).  “ … In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths…” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “…The LORD will accomplish (take care of)…that which concerns [you]…” (John 14:31 NASB).  “…The steps of a good man are ordered (directed) by the Lord:” (Psalms 37:23 KJV).

God’s love is revealed through surrender. “…Surrender your pride and power…” (Jeremiah 4:4  NLT). “…Submit to God, and you will have peace...” (Job 22:21 NLT). “…Submit therefore to God…” (James 4:7 NLT).  I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38 KJV).  “….the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others " (Matthew 20:28). “…I must be about my Father's business?” (Luke 2:49 KJV). “…I desire to do your will, my God…” (Psalms 40:8 KJV). “…I have come to do your will, my God'" (Hebrews 10:7, 9 KJV). “…I do nothing of myself…” (John 8:28 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…Don’t believe me unless I carry out my Father’s work…” (John 10:37 NLT). Surrender your all and “…present your bodies a living sacrifice…” (Romans 12:1 KJV).“…The LORD will accomplish (take care of)…that which concerns [you]…” (John 14:31 NASB). “...Casting all your care upon … [God]; for he careth for you” (1 Peter 5:7 KJV).

GOD’S LOVE IS OFTEN “NOT” BELIEVED because it is "not" the same as human love. “…Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God” (Hebrews 3:12 KJV). “…See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God…” (Hebrews 3:12 NIV). The Centurion said to Jesus “…I DO believe; HELP me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24 NIV). “…There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life…” (John 15:13 NLT). “…God is not human “…God is Spirit Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill…” (Numbers 23:19 NIV & John 4:24 KJV)? “…Not one of all the LORD's good promises … failed; every one was fulfilled (Joshua 21:45 NIV). “…[HIS HOLY] … love will last forever!” (1 Corinthians 4:7 NLT).

GOD’S LOVE stays faithful even in the presence of doubt, misunderstanding ,OR MAN’S Lack of KNOWLEDGE. “…RECEIVE with meekness the engrafted word …” (James 1:21 KJV). "…Truly I tell you, if anyone … DOES NOT DOUBT in their heart but believes … it will be done for them.” (MARKS 11:23 NIV). “… lean not unto thine own understanding …” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “…My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” (Hosea 4:6 NIV). “…God is love …” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…ANYONE WHO COMES TO HIM MUST BELIEVE THAT HE EXISTS (HIS HOLY LOVE EXISTS)…” (Hebrews 11:6 NIV). “…Submit yourselves to the Lord…” (2 Chronicles 30:8 NLT). “REPENT and you will receive (experience) the gift of the Holy Spirit….” (Acts 2:38 NASB). God tell us, “… [My] ... thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways ... as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than you ways and my thoughts than your thoughts…” (Isaiah 55:8-9 ASV). “…..be not afraid….only believe…” (Mark 5:36 KJV).  “… [God’s] … love has no fear, because perfect (Godly) love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect (wholesome) love…” (1 John 4:18 NLT). “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV).  [god's holy love] ... is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13 :8 NIV).
God loves you. ...with an everlasting love….” (Jeremiah 31:3 KJV).

god has freely given you his love. “…God’s love has been poured out into our hearts …” (Romans 5:5 NIV).  

God’s love is spiritual love. “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV).

God’s love will forever. “…love will last forever!” (1 Corinthians 4:7 NLT).  

God supplies you with enough holy love to love him and others. “…God shall supply ALL YOUR NEED” (Philippians 4:19 KJV). “…God will generously PROVIDE all … [the  HOLY love] … you need…” (2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT). . “…my cup runneth over (with indwelling holy love)…” (Psalms 23:5 KJV).

God’s love is displayed as spiritual fruit in your life and others can see it. “…Ye shall know them by their fruits (the FRUIT of HOLY LOVE)…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV). “…The fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).

If you do NOT have the indwelling HOLY Spirit, you are NOT one of God’s children and the fruit, not your religious works, is the evidence. “…That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)….” (Romans 8:8-11 NLT). “… [One of] ...the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).

LOVE is the MAIN “SIGN” or FRUIT of the indwelling HOLY Spirit!! “…Ye shall know them by their fruits (fruit of HOLY LOVE)…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV). Therefore, "… Bear much fruit (much HOLY LOVE), and … PROVE to be … [God’s] … disciples” (John 15:8 NIV). “…[One of] … the fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).

God has POURED his LOVE into your heart. “…God’s love has been poured out into our hearts …” (Romans 5:5 NIV). Therefore, “…EXAMINE YOURSELVES, whether ye be in the faith (whether you are depending upon him); prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you (the WORD of God is in you), EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES (wrongdoers)…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…all men will know that you are My disciples (HOW?), if you have  [holy] … love for one another" (John 13:35 NASB). “…[ HOLY] … love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten (a new creature, restored) of God, and knoweth God (because God is HOLY LOVE). He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love” (1 John 4:7-8 ASV).

Spiritual LOVE is the MAIN, telltale SIGN of the indwelling HOLY Spirit. Spiritual, HOLY LOVE is NOT A religious works, but a righteous empowering. “…[One of] … the fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…Ye shall know them by their fruits (FRUIT of HOLY LOVE)…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV). “…BY GRACE (unearned FAVOR) have ye been saved THROUGH FAITH (depending upon God); and that NOT OF YOURSELVES, IT IS THE [FREE] GIFT OF GOD; not of works, that no man should glory…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).

Spiritual, HOLY LOVE is “NOT” simply an outward display of gestures. It is produced by the indwelling Holy Spirit which has been POURED  “INTO” the HEART; the hidden person of the heart, AND the BIBLE says you will know what’s “HIDDEN” in the heart by witnessing the FRUIT of their character!! “...God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart”(1 Samuel 16:7 NASB). God zooms in on the “…hidden man of the heart…” (1 Peter 3:4 KJV). “…For from within, out of the heart of man, proceed evil thoughts…  All these evil things come from within...” (Mark 7:21-23 KJV). The heart “…is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked…who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9 KJV).  “…Ye shall know them by their fruits…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV).  “…The fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).

 “…love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten (new creature, restored) of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love” (1 John 4:7-8 ASV).

“…And remember that those who do not have the … [indwelling] … Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all” (Romans 8:8-11 NLT),

Thus, “…all men will know that you are My disciples (including YOU), if you have love for one another" (John 13:35 NASB).

Therefore, “…EXAMINE YOURSELVES, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV).

 “…Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you …” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV).Jesus Christ (God’s LOVE) is in you” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…The fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…The Lord (the WORD) is that Spirit (too) …” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). “…Christ (the WORD of GOD is) in you, …” (Colossians 1:27 KJV). Therefore, “…EXAMINE YOURSELVEShow that Jesus Christ is in you, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES (wrongdoers)…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV).

“…Ye shall know them (including yourself) by their fruits…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV).  “…[One of[ … the fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). 
GOD'S LOVE IS GREATER THAN HUMAN LOVE "BECAUSE" IT'S HOLY LOVE. KNOWING ABOUT HIS KIND OF LOVE IS ONE THINGS; EXPERIENCING IT AND APPLYING IT IN YOUR LIFE IS ANOTHER!
APART FROM GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU CAN NOT AND WILL NOT LOVE LIKE THIS!! APART FROM HIM YOU CAN DO NOTHING!!
