“REAL” LOVE
“…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).
*
The truth “IS” “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).
God is the ORIGIN of REAL LOVE. Any other TYPE of LOVE is only a derivative, or imitation, or made-up version of REAL LOVE.
No human experiences “REAL” love until it has been GIVEN to them THROUGH the indwelling Holy Spirit. “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God’s …[REAL] … love has been poured out INto …[your]… hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us…” (Romans 5:5 NIV).
REAL LOVE (God) is mankind’s FIRST LOVE because he loves them WAY BEFORE they ever love him back. “…Herein is ...[REAL]…love, not that we loved God, but that HE [first] LOVED US...” (1 John 4:10 KJV). “We love, because [REAL LOVE]… “FIRST” LOVED US…” (1 John 4:19 ASV). “….God SHOWED HIS GREAT [and real] LOVE FOR US by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners…” (Romans 5:7-9 NLT). “… [Nothing]…will be able to separate us from the [real] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord…” (Romans 8:31-39 NASB). He has “….loved [you]...with an everlasting … [real] love….” (Jeremiah 31:3 KJV). “…God is … [real] love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…There is no greater … [real] LOVE …” (John 15:13 NLT).
Therefore, “…This is REAL LOVE…” (1 John 4:10 NLT). “…This is REAL LOVE—NOT that we loved God…” (1 John 4:10 NLT). “…THIS IS LOVE: NOT that we loved God, but that he… [really]… loved us …” (1 John 4:10 NIV). “…THIS IS LOVE: NOT that we loved God, but that he …[really] … loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins…” (1 John 4:10 NIV).
God’s REAL LOVE DROVE him to do something in order to communicate and demonstrate his LOVE to mankind: He sent his son. “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God SO LOVED the world that he gave (SENT) his only begotten Son…” (John 3:16 KJV). “…He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins…” (1 John 4:10 NIV).
You were a full-time sinner and had NO WAY of knowing REAL LOVE (God). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God demonstrates his …[REAL] … love for us in this: While we were STILL sinners, Christ died for us…” (Romans 5:8 KJV). “…God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were STILL sinners...” (Romans 5:8 NLT).
God wholeheartedly LOVES mankind FIRST. He “IS” their FIRST “REAL” love. “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…Herein is ...[REAL]…love, not that we loved God, but that HE [first] LOVED US...” (1 John 4:10 KJV).
God loves FIRST. God knows and intends for mankind to BENEFIT from his REAL LOVE for them. “…God SHOWED HIS …[REAL] … LOVE FOR US by “SENDING” Christ to die for us WHILE we were still sinners…” (Romans 5:7-9 NLT). “… the just for the unjust, that he might BRING US to God…” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV). Obviously, God’s REAL LOVE is “NOT” “…self-seeking…” (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 NIV).
Humans attempt to love their children unselfishly, especially when they are newborns. However, in other human relationships the love has to, at least, appear equitable.
God’s REAL LOVE is unconditional. Mankind does NOT and can NOT do ANYTHING to deserve his love, to be worthy of it, or earn it. His REAL LOVE is full of GRACE (undeserved and unearned favor)! “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…He is “SO” RICH in … GRACE …” (Ephesians 1:7 NLT). “….The exceeding RICHES of his GRACE …” (Ephesians 2:7 KJV). “… [The] incomparable RICHES of [God’s]… GRACE...” (Ephesians 2:7 NIV).
REAL LOVE is TOTALLY saturated with his GRACE. His GRACE is FUELED by his REAL LOVE which is WHAT makes it unconditional. “…Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were STILL sinners…” (Romans 5:6-8 NLT).
“What kind of “POWERFUL” LOVE is this?” It is a REAL LOVE that is NOT based on who you are, what you have done, what you can do, where you’ve been, where you are going, how you look, your worthiness, your unworthiness, or ANYTHING you think you deserve.
REAL LOVE expresses and demonstrates itself simply BECAUSE God chooses and desires to LOVE mankind unconditionally.“…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God is [FIRST]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “… “I AM” WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…God is Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is [the HOLY Spirit of]… LOVE…” (John 4:24 KJV).
REAL LOVE is both HOLY and SPIRIT. REAL LOVE FUELS “EVERYTHING” God SAYS and DOES. What God says and does is ALWAYS saturated with his GRACE.
REAL LOVE (God) is WHO God truly is and his REAL LOVE is MOST GLORIOUS!!! “… “I AM” WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…there is none like unto thee…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…There is no greater … [real] LOVE …” (John 15:13 NLT). “…there is none like unto thee…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV). “…majestic in holiness (and holy love)…” (Exodus 15:11 KJV). “…You are very GREAT; You are clothed in SPLENDER and MAJESTY, Covering Yourself with LIGHT as with a cloak…”(Psalm 104:1-2 NASB). “…His radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His hand…” (Habakkuk 3:4.NASB). “… Let Your glory be above all the earth…” (Psalms 57:5, 11 NASB). “… His glory is above earth and heaven…” (Psalms 148:13 NASB). “…there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art GREAT, and THY NAME is GREAT in might…” (Jeremiah 10:6 KJV). “…There is no greater … [real] LOVE …” (John 15:13 NLT).
God’s REAL LOVE is pure, untainted, unadulterated, without wrong motive, unwavering, everlasting, and GREAT. It is also unconditional. “…This is real love—NOT that we loved God, but that he loved us …” (1 John 4:10 NLT). “… HE “FIRST” LOVED US…” (1 John 4:19 ASV).
Whatever you knew or know, or have known of love it is “nothing” compared to God’s REAL LOVE. “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…This is real love…” (1 John 4:10 NLT).
REAL LOVE expresses and communicates love ONLY with the intention of BONDING faithfully (through the BOND of love) to YOU … FOREVER.“…Love … is the perfect BOND of unity...” (Colossians 3:14 NASB). “…He… remains faithful [to his REAL love for you]… [He can’t “ever” DENY who he is]...” (2 Timothy 2:13 NLT). “… “I AM” WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).
Real love’s only agenda is love.
This is what I have personally learned about God’s REAL love FOR ME: God’s love covers over a lot of offenses. His love is fully forgiving and doesn’t keep a record of my wrongs towards him. His love is enduring. His love suffers long over me sometimes, which gives me sufficient chances to get it right with him. God’s love is faithful. God’s love is loyal. God’s love involved a sacrifice and therefore it was costly for him to love me. His love continues for me, even when I don’t fairly and equitably love him in return. God’s love does not come with a wage attachment, where I have to earn it. God’s love does not come with a partiality tag, where I have to be worthy of it. God’s love does not come with a merit tag, where I have to be deserving of it. God’s love is free and unconditional towards me always and has never demanded anything in return. God’s love won’t ever change for me, even if I change, walk away, reject it, follow after another, am unfaithful, offend him, or totally forget about Him. “…There is no greater love …” (John 15:13 NLT).
“…This is real love…” (1 John 4:10 NLT). What is “real” love? “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).
God’s “real” LOVE “…is patient … 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. [God’s]…love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres, [God’s]…love never fails…” (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 NIV).
Nothing will ever separate YOU from God’s “real” love. “….neither death, nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate [you]… from the [REAL]… love of God which is “in” Christ Jesus our Lord…” (Romans 8:38-39 KJV).
“Real” love is God. “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “… “I AM” WHO I AM…” (Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).
God’s “REAL” love DROVE him to ACTIONS saturated with GRACE. “…God SO LOVED he GAVE…” (John 3:16 KJV).
The reason God GAVE his Son is because SIN created a barrier or chasm between God and mankind (the objects of is GREAT love). “…ALL wicked actions ARE SIN…” (1 John 5:17 NLT).
God couldn’t LOVE man like he SO desired with the barrier of wickedness between them. “… [God]… can not look on wickedness with favor…” (Habakukk 1:13 NASB). “… O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate (mix, yoke together with, abide with, etc.) the sins of the wicked…” (Psalms 5:4 NLT).
On the other hand, human eyes are too sinful to even look upon his glorious, pure HOLINESS. “…Moses said, “…show me your glory … [God said,] …When my GLORY passes by, I will …cover you with my hand until I have passed by …” (Exodus 33:16-23 NIV). “…You (mankind, humanity, sinful flesh) cannot see my face, for no one may see [my glorious, pure holiness]… and live …” (Exodus 33:16-23 NIV).
The barrier between God and SINFUL mankind EXISTS because HOLINESS can NOT and will NOT “EVER” MIX with SIN. SIN and HOLINESS naturally SEPARATE; just like oil and water. “…Your INIQUITIES (sin) have separated between you and your God (holy) …” (Isaiah 59:2 KJV). “…It’s YOUR SINS that have cut you off from God (who is HOLY)…” (Isaiah 59:2 NLT). Oil (sin) and Water (holy) DON’T’ and CAN’T mix together, without HELP.
Thus, God’s REAL LOVE for you DROVE him to GIVE Jesus, his begotten (specially created) Son, who is like an EMULSIFIER that enables the mixture or emulsion of two unlikely substances. “…He that is joined (MIXED) unto the Lord (Jesus Christ, God’s SON) is ONE Spirit… [united with the God, the HOLY SPIRIT]” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV).
If an emulsifier is added to oil and water it will miraculously enable them to MIX together. “…He that is joined (MIXED together) unto the Lord (Jesus Christ, God’s SON) is ONE Spirit… [miraculously enabling sinful man to unite with the Holy God]” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV).“…. Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
Jesus miraculously enables the HOLY God and SINFUL mankind to MIX or UNITE together and become ONE [unbreakable] BOND through the HOLY SPIRIT of REAL LOVE. “…What therefore God has joined (mixed) together, let no man separate…” (Mark 10:9 NASB). “… [REAL]… Love … is the perfect BOND of unity...” (Colossians 3:14 NASB). “…He that is JOINED unto the Lord is ONE Spirit…” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV). “…Let no one split apart what God has joined (mixed) together…” (Mark 10:9 NLT).
God’s REAL LOVE for sinful man was FULLY communicated and expressed when he SENT his son. “…He [REALLY]… loved us and sent his Son …” (1 John 4:10 NIV).
SENDING his SON was an action of GRACE DRIVEN by his REAL LOVE. This action of GRACE enabled SINFUL mankind to be reconciled into a LOVING, covenant relationship with God again. “… [He sent the ] …one … who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT).
The barrier of SIN is a BLOCKAGE from God’s REAL LOVE!!! God desires to LOVE mankind, but SIN PREVENTS God’s HOLY LOVE from being FULLY expressed, experienced, accessed, or reached. “… [Only]…one … can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT). “….Apart from [the man Christ Jesus], you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV).
There is the world of OIL and there is the world of WATER. These two worlds would NEVER MIX without an emulsifier. NEITHER would the Holy world of God or the sinful world of man without Jesus Christ.
God personally and specially MADE a way for mankind to experience his REAL LOVE through SALVATION. “… [God was] …not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9 KJV). “… AS MANY as received him, to them GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, even to them that believe on his name…” (John 1:12 KJV). “…WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved...” (Romans 10:13 KJV). “…YE ARE “ALL” CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH “IN” (or dependence upon) CHRIST JESUS. …There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for YE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS…” (Galatians 3:26-28 KJV). “…God SHOWS NO FAVORITISM. In every nation HE ACCEPTS those who fear him and do what is right. This is the message of Good News for the people of Israel—that there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all…” (Acts 10:34-36 NLT). “…Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no RESPECTER OF PERSONS: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)…” (Acts 10:34-36 KJV).
Removing the barrier of sin OPENS the WAY for God’s REAL LOVE to BOND with you and connect you to his Holy Spirit. “…By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way …into the Most Holy Place…” (Hebrews 10:19-20 NLT). “Jesus saith…I am the way…” (John 14:6 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “… Love [is]… the perfect BOND of UNITY...” (Colossians 3:14 NASB).“…He [or she]… that is joined unto the Lord is ONE SPIRIT….” (1 Corinthians 6:17).
THE WAY (Jesus) was an ACT of GRACE and an expression of REAL LOVE. His act of GRACE allowed him to look upon mankind with the FAVOR. “…[He could]… not look on wickedness with favor…” (Habakukk 1:13 NASB). “…YOUR SINS … hid his face from you … he [could]… not hear… [you] …” (Isaiah 59:2 KJV). “… [SO He sent- through an act of GRACE - the] …one … who [could]… reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT).
The BARRIER of sin separates the natural realm from the supernatural realm and it creates an impenetrable chasm.
This impenetrable chasm separates mankind from God, cuts him off, and silences his voice so God can’t hear him. REAL LOVE’S (God) holiness WON’T allow him to penetrate the chasm nor show favor with wickedness. “…Because of YOUR SINS, he … turned away and can… not listen anymore…” (Isaiah 59:2 NLT). “…[God CAN]… not look on wickedness with favor…” (Habakukk 1:13 NASB). “…YOUR SINS … hid his face from you … he [CAN]… not hear… [you] …” (Isaiah 59:2 KJV).
God desires to LOVE you, but HOLINESS simply can NOT MIX, or become yoked together with SIN or SINNERS. “…Be ye NOT unequally yoked together with unbelievers…” (2 Corinthians 6:14-15 KJV).
The HOLY God desired to be yoked together with mankind, but the BARRIER of SIN created an impenetrable chasm. Thus, “… what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? … what communion hath light with darkness? … what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?” (2 Corinthians 6:14-15 KJV).
For example, the biblical story of the poor man and the rich man reveals that chasm? “…The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm (barrier) has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us…” (Luke 16:22-25 NASB).
Without Jesus, there “WILL” ALWAYS remain an impenetrable BARRIER of SIN or CHASM between mankind (SIN/oil) and God (HOLY/water). “… And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm (barrier) has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us…” (Luke 16:22-25 NASB).
However, because of REAL LOVE’S (God’s) act of GRACE, through Jesus Christ, the BARRIER of SIN can be removed: “…There is … one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT). “…The grace of our Lord was poured out (transferred) on [mankind]… abundantly, along with faith and love that are in Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 1:13-14 NIV). “…BY GRACE have [mankind]… been saved THROUGH FAITH; and that NOT OF … [them]SELVES, IT IS THE GIFT OF [FIRST LOVE]…GOD…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).
Jesus Christ - God’s GREAT act of GRACE - OPENED the way for REAL LOVE (God) to express and communicate his love to mankind! “Jesus saith…I am the way…” (John 14:6 KJV). “…By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way … into the Most Holy Place…” (Hebrews 10:19-20 NLT). “… [There is] … one … who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT).
“Jesus saith…I am the way, the truth, and the life…” (John 14:6 KJV). “… Apart from Me, you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). “… [You] … can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth … [you]…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV). “…It is God who works in [you]… to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose” (Philippians 2:13 NIV).
REAL LOVE’S (God’s) act of GRACE, through Jesus Christ, atoned for mankind’s sins by removing the barrier between them. “…He (Jesus Christ) is the atoning sacrifice for our sins…” (1 John 2:2 NIV). “…Behold the Lamb of God (Jesus Christ), which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29 KJV). .“…God so loved the world, that HE GAVE his only begotten (specially created) Son (Jesus Christ) …” (John 3:16 KJV). “...Whosoever believeth in him (Jesus Christ) (depend upon him) should not perish, but have everlasting life…” (John 3:16 KJV).
Therefore, “… [There is] … one … who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT). “…This is real love…” (1 John 4:10 NLT). “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…There is no greater love …” (John 15:13 NLT).
This act of GRACE, offered through Jesus Christ - when chosen and received - REVEALS God “AS” REAL LOVE. “…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God is [REAL]… LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…he loved us and SENT HIS SON to be the propitiation for our sins.” (1 John 4:10 KJV). “…God SHOWED HIS GREAT LOVE FOR US by “SENDING” Christ to die for us WHILE we were still sinners…” (Romans 5:7-9 NLT). “… the just for the unjust, that he might BRING US to God…” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV). “…There is no greater love …” (John 15:13 NLT). “…There is no GREATER LOVE than to lay down one’s life…” (John 15:13 NLT).
God created THE WAY to bring mankind to REAL LOVE again. “… Jesus saith…I am the way…” (John 14:6 KJV). “…Christ …suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to [REAL LOVE] …” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV). “…God is [REAL]…LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).
REAL LOVE chooses to love you. REAL LOVE chooses to show GRACE to you. REAL LOVE chooses to remove the BARRIER of sin. REAL LOVE chooses to bring you into a relationship with him. “…I chose YOU....” (John 15:16 ASV). “…You are a chosen people…” (1 Peter 2:9 NIV). “…As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on(depend upon) his name…” (John 1:12).
There is “… [No]….greater love … than [REAL LOVE]…” (John 15:13 KJV). “… God is (REAL) LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “REAL” LOVE “…is [recognized by its]… patient … [and it]… 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. [REAL]…love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres, [REAL]…love never fails…” (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 NIV).
Therefore, “… Love [is]… the perfect BOND of UNITY...” (Colossians 3:14 NASB). “…He [or she]… that is joined unto the Lord is ONE SPIRIT [with the god of real love]….” (1 Corinthians 6:17).
HOW? “…The Lord is … Spirit…” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). “…God [sends]… forth the Spirit of His Son “INTO” [YOUR]… HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…Jesus Christ is … [NOW] … in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…if Christ be in you… [then] …[YOU are] … ONE SPIRIT … [with the god of real love]….” (Romans 8:10 KJV & 1 Corinthians 6:17). “… [Jesus sets you]… in [god’s] … presence forever…” (Psalms 44:12 NASB).
REAL LOVE is a Holy LOVE, a GRACE-filled LOVE, and a GREAT LOVE. “… [There is NO]….greater love…than this…”(John 15:13 KJV). “…God SO LOVED he GAVE…” (John 3:16 KJV). “… By GRACE (unearned, undeserved, and unworthy favor) [you are] … SAVED (the barrier of sin is removed) through faith (by depending upon Jesus Christ’s work upon the cross); and that not of [your]selves: it is the gift of (REAL LOVE) God: Not of works, lest any man should boast…” (EPHESIANS 2:8-9 KJV).
“… [REAL LOVE, through Christ]… freely [gives] … us all things?...” (Romans 8:32 KJV). “…For all things are [NOW] …your's [through Christ, which dwells IN YOU]…” (1 Corinthians 3 KJV).
REAL LOVE loves 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). “…For God so loved the world…” (John 3:16).
REAL LOVE chooses the objects of his LOVE. "You did not choose … [him]… but [He]… chose you…” (John 15:16 ASV).
REAL LOVE fuels God’s GRACE (free, unearned FAVOR) toward the objects of his love. “…By GRACE [you are]… saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the [FREE]…gift of God…” (EPHESIANS 2:8-9 KJV).
REAL LOVE OFFERS many, many unending ACTS of GRACE. All his promises are yes and amen to those who BELONG to him NOW through Christ Jesus. “…As many as are the promises of God, in Him (Jesus Christ) they are yes …also … Amen …” (2 Corinthians 1:2 NASB).
“… God is (REAL) LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). REAL LOVE is trustworthy and KEEPS every one of his promises and he NEVER changes his loving ways. “…He has granted to [you]… His precious and magnificent promises…” (2 Peter 1:4 NASB). “…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 is REAL LOVE and DESIRES to EXPRESS his HOLY LOVE to YOU.
Through an ACT of GRACE he POURS his indwelling Holy Spirit into your heart as a WAY to demonstrate his love “IN” and “THROUGH” you. “…The …HOLY SPIRIT …is the SOURCE of [love] …it is …God who does the work …[of love]… IN and THROUGH all of us who are his. … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “…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 is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…The Spirit of God dwell[s]… in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV “…[REAL]… Love [is]… the perfect BOND of UNITY...” (Colossians 3:14 NASB).
REAL LOVE “BONDS” with you through the indwelling Holy Spirit. “ Love [is]… the perfect BOND of UNITY...” (Colossians 3:14 NASB). “…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 Real love is “IN” you, “…I … [am] … “IN” YOU (the god of “real” love)…” (John 15:4 KJV). REAL love, the indwelling Holy Spirit, is “IN” you forever. “… God is (REAL) LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…I AM (real love) “WITH” YOU ALWAYS, to the very end…"(Matthew 28:20 NIV).
REAL LOVE is forever faithful to you. “…If … [you] … are unfaithful, he remains faithful…” (2 Timothy 2:13 NLT).
The POWERFUL, faithful Holy Spirit of REAL LOVE is “IN” your earthen vessel. “ … [You] … have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the [indwelling]…POWER may be of God, and not of us...” (2 Corinthians 4:6-7 KJV). “…Know ye not your own selves …that Jesus Christ is in you…” (2 Corinthians KJV). “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV). “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” (1 Corinthians 6:19 KJV). “…God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people” (2 Corinthians 6:16 KJV).
“… We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves…” (2 Corinthians 4:7 NLT).
God said: “…I will put a new spirit in you . …” (Ezekiel 36:26 NLT). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…The Spirit of God dwell[s]… in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “…May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put (or MIX) you together [soul and body with]— [his indwelling Holy]…spirit …” (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 MSG). “…Jesus Christ is in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…Jesus Christ maketh thee whole ( and HOLY)…” (Acts 9:34 KJV). NLT).
“…Ye shall be holy unto me: for I the Lord am holy…” (Leviticus 20:26 KJV). “…Jesus Christ is in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…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).
“…by the Grace of God … [you are what you are] …” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).
“…It is God who works IN YOU to will and TO ACT…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV). “….Apart from [Jesus]…YOU CAN DO NOTHING…” (John 15:5 NIV). “…God hath said, I will dwell in them…” (2 Corinthians 6:16 KJV). “…May … God … WORK IN [YOU]… what is pleasing to him, THROUGH Jesus Christ…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV).
“…God will supply all [your need through his indwelling Holy Spirit]…” (Philippians 4:19 NASB). “…God will generously PROVIDE all you need (through his indwelling Holy Spirit)…” (2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT).
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want [for “real” love]…” (Psalms 23:1 KJV). “… You will always have everything (all the “REAL” LOVE) you need …” (2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT).
HOW DO YOUR RECOGNIZE “REAL” LOVE? “… God is (REAL) LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “REAL” LOVE “…is [recognized by its]… patien[ce] … [and it]… 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. [REAL]…love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres, [REAL]…love never fails…” (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 NIV).
God’s REAL LOVE is RECOGNIZED by the SPIRIT “NOT” your emotions, your flesh, or carnal senses. “…The person WITHOUT the Spirit DOES NOT accept the things that come from the Spirit of God (REAL love comes from God, the Holy Spirit) but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned (recognized) only through the Spirit. …” (2 Corinthians 2:12-15 KJV).
