The Love of God is God is Love is God

^{So often when we refer to the love of God, we define His love by what we know from past experiences, or by definitions man has developed from his own vantage point.  The greatest source of what God's love is comes from God, himself.} 

We love him, because he first loved us. I John 4:19

God's love is unmistakeable but there are many born again people who have not fully realized how much God loves them. The reason for this is because of misinformation, mis-teaching and wily forces of manipulation. God, however, has not left us without witness (Romans 1:19, Isaiah 44:24, Acts 17:24-31, Psalm 19, Job 38-41) :

Acts 14:17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

God's love cannot be defined by man, the media, psychologists, scientists, and even theologians if they haven't recognized it for themselves. It is impossible to love others the way God would have us to love, if we don't know God's love.


The first step is becoming a child of God. Next, it is vitally important that one continues to get to know God.  The third step is believing it.

 I John 4:1b Beloved, let us love one another:for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 

I John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

When we recognize how much God loves us, then it overflows to others. It is genuine love based on truth. It is not messy, sentimental, human love. We get to the point that even when people act weirdly or hurtfully towards us, we can still love them because we know they just haven't seen or refused to believe how much God loves them. Some have filled the gaps in their hearts with other forms of of caulk to keep them busy.  That doesn't mean we put up with nonsense, God's standards are love.  God, in His infinite wisdom, shows us in His word and by holy spirit how to personally deal with such scenarios and that's love too! That kind of love is fearless!
