John 1:14 says, “The Word was with God and the Word was God
and this Word became flesh and dwelt among us”.
1 John 4:8 says, “God is Love”. God’s love was revealed to us when He came among
us to dwell on earth.
John 3:16 tells us, “For God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life”.
Matthew 1:23 says, “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and
bear a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel (which means God with us).
Jesus Christ is the priceless gift of God’s love. He came down from the Father in heaven to
earth. He was given for each of us so
that we might know God and know God’s love.
Jesus is God in human flesh as we have seen in John
1:14. John’s gospel is about the deity
of Christ. The Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit are One and existed from the beginning.
In John 14 Jesus tells His disciples that He and the Father are One; “if
you have seen me you have seen the Father”.
The same titles used for God in the Old Testament are used
for Jesus in the New Testament: The
Eternal Judge, The Holy One, The First and the Last, The Alpha and Omega, The
Lord of the Sabbath, The Savior, The Mighty God, The Lord of Lords, The Lord of
Glory, and The Redeemer.
God is Love. Jesus
and Father God are One. Jesus is
Love. The Father sent The Son to show us
Love and to teach us how to love.
When Jesus returned to the Father He left us His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit continues Christ’s ministry
in us and in the world. Each person in
The Triune Godhead possesses the same attributes. They are eternal, omnipresent, omniscient,
omnipotent, immutable, sovereign, and all glorious.
Love is all about God.
Love originates in God. Love was
with, and in, our Triune God before the creation of the world. Love began with God. Love was personified in Jesus when He came to
us in flesh, as man. Love came down as a
baby in a manger, to walk the earth, and to show us how to live and love. As a believer, the Holy Spirit abides in me
and I in Him. He has given me the Fruit
of His Spirit. 1 Corinthians 13:13 says
that the greatest gift of all is Love. I
want God’s love to be perfected in me.
Lord, thank you for your Love.
Teach me how to love others.
