The Way of Love

You cannot "love", if you don't "know" love -- God is love. Jesus is the "love of God".
"If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in Him and he in God." (1 John 4:16)

God's love is unconditional. God is love ... He doesn't know how to be anything different.
[Romans 5:8]

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.


[1 John 4:9-12]
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

The reason for everything? Love?
There is nothing more meaningful, more purposeful, and more pure than love. This is my argument: Is not love the purpose of life? Is not love, life itself?
If this statement holds any truth ... then the purpose of our life is to be connected by love, living from love and for love. For I believe that without love there would be no life ... for God made us in his own image (Genesis 1:27) ... to love us and for us to love him and be with Him forever.

So I leave you with this: Jesus said This is my command: Love. Love eachother as I have love you" (John 15:12).

Let us love not with words, but with our actions and in truth. Live in love, if not for yourself, than for the God who made us and loves us -- for Jesus Christ ... our Way of Love :)
For its when I live for love and by love that I discover who I am and what I am living for; Love completes me! Love is the only thing that will complete you!

" God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 17In this way, love is made complete among us..." {1 John 4:15}
