Real Love

Real Love

“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:8.

February is the month when you hear about love.
Valentines, candies, and flowers are everywhere you turn.

Today, February 14, is the day we’ve chosen to celebrate the ones we love.

But what is real love?

It’s not lust or an emotion, or merely a sentimental state of mind.
There is romantic love, and the love of family and friends.

But, the Bible tells us the highest love is not based on feelings, but a commitment of our will.

This love is patient and kind.
It’s not envious or arrogant or rude.
It’s not selfish or easily angered.
It doesn’t keep a record of how others have wronged us.
It puts up with a lot and endures with hope.
It doesn’t run away when the going gets tough.

Real love never stops loving.

God IS love – real love!
He shows us this love through the life and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.

Have faith in Him and you can experience true love.
His love will empower you to show real love to others.
