In part one I posted these three questions:
What is love?
How much does God love me?
Do we love God?
I started to answer the first one, but I want to follow up with that. Here is the Bible defenition for love:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, 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 proects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
1 Corithians 13:4-7
Wow! That is the true meaning. Do you think we really love our neighbor like this? Do you treat the people at your work with love? Love is the most important commandment! So now to start answering the second question. How much does God love me?
God's love is impossible to explain. It is far beyond our words or understamding. this is the best answer I can give you:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3:16
God gave his only son so he could save us. He did that just for us. That is how great God's love is for us. Moving on to the third question. Do we love God?
That is a question only you can answer. The bible says that part of loving God, is obeying him. So ask your self, do I obey God? If you are thinking right now I never hear from God, you are just not listening. He will speak. Ask him to. Start obeying scripture. Does your every day life have the love of God in it? Are you loving your neighbor as your self? Love is te GREATEST comandment.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul amd with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neghbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these."
Mark 12:30-31
