Self-sacrificing, self-renouncing Love:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:16-17 KJV
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
John 15:13 KJV
“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”
1 John 3:16 KJV
“But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
Matthew 20:26-28 KJV
“Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
John 17:24-26 KJV
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.”
1 John 4:7-21 KJV
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”
1 Corinthians 13:1-8 KJV
The Love we are to love Eloheem with, and love ourselves with, and love others as ourselves with is Agape. This Love doesn’t look out for self first. This Love endures unto the end. This Love doesn’t rail back. This Love speaks the Word in life situations and circumstances and gives Eloheem thanks in all things. This Love doesn’t compromise Eloheem’s Truth, doesn’t compromise His principles, His Word.
This Love forgives over and over and over again. This Love forgives and even if this Love cannot reconcile with another because of the spiritual mindset of the soul before them—they help the person, pray for their salvation, praying for them to be delivered, healed and made whole in Jesus name.
When the love of Eloheem is in us, it is not I but Jesus Christ Who lives within through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Eloheem’s love sometimes has to be and remain silent. His love speaks only the truth. His love is redemptive. We don’t seek revenge, we don’t do to others as they have done to us—but rather, We do to them what we want them to do to us.
“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.”
Matthew 7:12 KJV
This Love the unconverted do not know, nor do they appreciate—they who choose to remain to be sinners do not know this Love. The world does not know this Love. The world has not experienced this Love, it is beyond their comprehension—it is foreign to them. The love Of Eloheem breathes life into them but they choose not to receive Life.
Eloheem’s love has no resemblance at all to the many counterfeit loves of Satan. Eloheem’s love is Day—Light. Satan’s love is Night—Darkness.
Which do you by faith choose to desire, have within, and live?
