A Demonstration of Love!

John 3:16-17

16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ( unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.

John 13:34-35

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
NKJV

1 Cor 13:4-7

4 Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].
6 It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
7 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].

Rom 5:5

5 Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.

My Comments:

We see a demonstration of God's Love for us when He gave us His only Son to be our Substitute for sin. Jesus came not only to save us, but to demonstrate the Father's love for us! All through His ministry we see how he demonstrated that love to sinners, the sick, anybody and everybody!

However, before He went to Calvary, He gave us a new commandment, to love one another, as He has loved us! We see the characteristics of the God-Kind of love how God defines it in 1 Cor 13:4-7 (AMP). Brother Kenneth E. Hagin called it the 'Love Thermometer' and gave an exhortation to walk in that Love like God did.

I can hear people saying "But I'm only human!" "I'm not Jesus!" "That's for God, not for me!" We may think that it's an impossible task to walk in that kind of love, but we have a hope! God knew that our love is so frail and weak, so He gave us His love! When we received the Holy Spirit, we received the God-Kind of Love with Him! For He is Love! So we can demonstrate His Love to people!

Confession:

I have the God-Kind of Love! He IS Love! I choose to walk in His love and I will demonstrate it! I love just as He loves me!
