GOD’S PROVES HIS LOVE But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). The gift of Christ is the PROOF of God’s love. Why does God love us? God is love (1 John 4:8, 16). CHRIST DIED FOR US........ What is your response??? MY RESPONSE TO GOD’S LOVE Have you noticed that the word “love” has many different meanings in the English language? Think about how we use the word “love”: • “I love chocolate cake.” • “I love basketball.” • “I love my wife.” Obviously the love I have for basketball is much different than the love I have for my wife. I may “love” basketball , but I’m not going to marry it. When God says, “I love you,” what does He mean? He means that He feels so strongly about us that He was willing to sacrifice His own Son so that we would have the opportunity to receive eternal life. How should I respond to God’s love? • I should receive God’s GIFT of love. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23). God offers eternal life to whoever will receive it by faith. • I should love GOD in return. We love him, because he first loved us (1 John 4:19 KJV). How do I prove that I love God? By obeying His commands. “This is love for God: to obey his commands” (1 John 5:3). • I should love OTHERS as God loves them. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another (1 John 4:11). We should love even those who are unkind to us. Remember what Jesus prayed while on the cross: “Father, forgive them” (Luke 23:34). Jesus said, “Love your enemies” (Matthew 5:44). Love is not only on this month but every month every year Every time.. This coming valentines may Gods love will pour unto us.... Good night and God bless you
