All You Need is Love...Rump Da Da Da Da

1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. But, what does that mean? What is love? Love, love, love. All you need is love. Book of John….John Lennon. What is Biblical love? Does God have a warm feeling in his tummy for us? Love is a verb…an action, a conscious decision which, at times, surpasses all reason and understanding. For God so loved the world, he gave his one and only Son, so that whosoever believes on him would not perish, but have everlasting life. When we show Christ like love, it is conscious and it is fearless. If a situation should occur where it came between a non-believer and ourselves needing to give up life for the other, out of Christ like love, I should be willing to give up my life for someone I may not even like, but have Christ’s love for. I would be able to do this because I have the confidence of my assurance that my salvation is secured, and in that the non-believer would be provided an opportunity to come to himself and find Christ love at some later point. Romans 5:7-8 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Christ died for us on a rough wooden cross so that his sacrifice would be the payment for my sin. We give thanks during our time of communion for this act of true and undeserved love that surpasses all reason and understanding. If you believe Jesus paid the price for your sins on the cross where he sacrificed his life and have made him your LORD, we ask you to join us in this time of communion.
