God doesn't have power. God is power. God doesn't have love. God is love! I was reading 1st, 2nd and 3rd John and it talks about walking in love. While I was reading these three short letters these four ideas stood out.
1. We are to Love God. "This is Love for God, that we obey His commands" 1st John. One guy asked "Hey Jesus! What's the greatest commandment"? Jesus told him "Love the Lord God with all of your heart with all of your soul and with all your mind."
2. We are not to love the paradigm of this world. "Do not love this world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John.
3. We are to love others. John wrote: "This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another." This is not only living for myself. I live sacrificially for you and you live for me.
4. God loves you. "We love because He first loved us." 1st John. O f course there's John 3: 16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son. That whoever believes in Him shall not die but have everlasting life."
Once we believe, we realize Peace with God, followed by peace of God. Growing in maturity as a follower of Jesus Christ.
