Introduction: True Love Comes From God
Everyone agrees that love is important. We talk about it. We sing about it. We show it. Sometimes, our society seems obsessed by it. But amidst all the discussions and expressions of love, it’s crucial to remember that true love starts with God. It comes from him.
Created to Love
In 1 John 4:7-12, John reminds us that we were created by God to learn to love him and to show his love to others. When we realise this truth, we come to understand that life is truly about love. Our purpose is to know and love God, and in doing so, we can reflect his love to those around us.
The Ultimate Expression of Love
If we want to truly know what love is, then first, we must learn to know and love God. He is the source of our love. God’s love for us is so immense that he sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us and restore our relationship with him. Jesus perfectly exemplifies what it means to love God and love others. Every action he took in life and in death was an expression of perfect love.
The Power to Love
As believers, we are not left to love in our own strength. It is God who gives us the power to love. He resides in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, transforming us to become more and more like his Son, Jesus. It is through this transformation that we are empowered to love as he loves.
Conclusion
True love comes from God. It is through our relationship with him that we can experience and express genuine love. As we seek to know and love God, he empowers us to love others selflessly. Let us embrace the love that God has lavished upon us and share it with the world around us.
