A Love that runs
Part 2
Love- characteristic of God’s heart
A. Love is the greatest force because it flows from the Father God’s heart and into this dark and cold world
1. It was love that sent God into the garden looking for his fallen children.
a. God went looking for Adam, Adam did not go looking for God
b. When God noticed that he was not sensing the spiritual communion of his children, he went looking for them
2. We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19, KJV)
a. John-disciple Jesus loved- Knew that it was literally Christ that loved them first
b. But when the kindness of God our Savior, and his love toward man, appeared, not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us…
(Titus 3:2-5, ASV)
3. Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. (1 John 3:1, ASV)
Love- will always remain
A. When all the dust has settled, when even prophesies have ceased, love will remain for it is the greatest.
1. Must read 1 Cor. 13- and expound on understanding ALL MYSTERIES… Have ALL FAITH…. So that mountains would tremble at my words…. And have NOT LOVE------ It is nothing- less than nothing….
