Agape - God's love gives

It is popularly said that the proof of love is giving. You give to who you love and God showed his love by giving the greatest gift, his son to die for man and save you.

He has also given you his Spirit as proof of his love for you.
God loves you unconditionally and will not any good thing from you. He loves you in particular.
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won't he also give us everything else?
For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
#Agape

Loving God - communication

Every love relationship is based on communication, severe the communicating line and the relationship ceases. Prayer is your communicating line with God.

Praying is proof of your love for God, it shows your dependence on him and love for him.
Have you communicated with him today? he is waiting to hear from you.
While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God.

Loving God - Devotion to God

To love God is to be devoted to him. To place a premium on God above all others, to be committed to him.

Not having any gods is not only about golden images, it is about not having anything competing with the space God should occupy in your heart.
And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul.
No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Loving God - serving God

To love God is to serve God. Your claim of love for God must be seen in your service to God.
What are you doing that is solely for the Lord?

What abilities and gifts of yours are you using to please him? Serve God in your church and with your substance.
And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money

Agape - God's love instructs and corrects

We are all being perfected and thus in need of instruction and correction. The love of God corrects us and that is not judgment. Never get too big for God's correction.

God also does not correct with sickness or disaster, no he does not
He corrects with his word because he loves you. Sicknesses/ accidents are consequences of refusing God's corrections.

For instance, a parent tells a child to stop jumping from a chair but the child persists and sprains an ankle.
Can we then say the injury was the parent's means of correction? Of course not.

God is sending his word of correction to you through your meditations in scriptures, the Holy Spirit, your pastors and even your friends; Beloved, listen to them and repent.

Righteousness - Fruits of righteousness
'You shall know them by their fruits' is a statement by Jesus and it is no less important now. That we have been made righteous is shown by the fruits we bare.

Works of righteousness (benevolence, peace) must be done by a righteous person
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion,
and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn will be lifted high in honor.

Righteousness

Spirit without guile
With the righteousness of God that we have received comes a new spirit devoid of guile and sin.
Our spirit has the capacity to do right and please God always. We are not struggling to be righteous. we are righteous and we do what is right.
Those who have been born into God's family do not make a practice of sinning, because God's life is in them. So they can't keep on sinning, because they are children of God. So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
