God's Love and Ours


Greetings to all in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

As I was reading my Bible this morning, the Holy Spirit impressed upon me to share this message with all of you. Every time I read from the Word of God, I am blessed and refreshed. We know that "love" is an action word. It has arms and reaches out to share and to nurture others. We have learned to not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. Praise God for the following message; we all can appreciate a reminder from our Father who is full of compassion and who loves us unconditionally.

The Word of God says, "Let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love.

He has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

Supporting Scriptures: I John 3:18;4:17-21

Compassion puts love into action.
