"GOD HAS POURED HIS LOVE INTO OUR HEARTS"
God made us in love for love. That is our reason for being, our purpose for living, and our goal in dying.He loved us so much far beyond what we could ever expect or deserve that he was willing to pay any price to redeem us from our slavery to sin and death. God's love is not limited or subject to changing circumstances. It is an enduring love that has power to change and transform us to be like him merciful, gracious, kind, forgiving, and steadfast in showing love not only for our friends, but for our enemies as well. God's love is boundless because he is the source of abundant life, perfect peace, and immeasurable joy for all who open their hearts to him.That is why he willingly laid down his own life for us to free us from sin, death, fear, and everything that could separate us from the love of God. Our love for God and our willingness to lay down our life for others is a response to the exceeding love God has given us in Christ.
The Lord Jesus tells us that he is our personal friend and he loves us wholeheartedly and unconditionally. He wants us to love one another just as he has loved us, wholeheartedly, without reserve, and full of mercy, kindness, and forgiveness. His love fills our hearts and transforms our minds and frees us to give ourselves in loving service to others. If we open our hearts to his love and obey his command to love our neighbor, then we will know his love more fully and we will bear much fruit especially the fruit of peace, joy, patience, kindness, and goodness the kind of fruit that lasts for eternity.
