Writing from Pastor Moses ~ Dear friends Very good morning and good after noon .LOVE: Biblical Agape love is more than human sentiment. By our natural birth we have acquired human love -kindred feelings towards our equals r close - knit family members. Divine love is wholly of a different nature. Firstly, it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. ...the fruit of the Spirit is love... (Gal.5: 22). The Bible says in Rom.5:5, The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us. Hence it is a Spirit - wrought love offered to every regenerate person. Secondly, it is impartial. Paul praised the believers at Colossi for possessing this love. It was love for all saints (Col.1: 4). At Colossi there were Jewish as well as Gentile converts. In Christ, they found a new oneness. rich and poor, male or female, bond or free, Jew or Gentile, all found togetherness in Christ. Thirdly, it was Christ -inspired. Christ told His disciples in john 13:34, ...as I have loved you, that you also love one another. Christ left us an example that we may follow His steps. Fourthly, divine love is sacrificial love. The Lord Jesus said in John 15:13, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Christ expended and exemplified that love on the cross.
