We can know His love in seeking Him as promised.

Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

If we dont have lov we dont have God scripture.
simplistic. Love is not free. It must mean something, you can love others, but you must love God no matter what. View it as acceptance if love is too hard., You believe, you live, he judge, end of story. Do not take it so seriously. God is good.

If you see law as without love, but only rules to be obeyed, then it is not the real law for the real law is the spirit of the law. It isn't that the law in stone without the spirit is wrong, it is just missing its reality. God is. om every way love.

Love is God in our heart we become one with Him. It can only happen

as it did in penticost. The Holy Spirit enters the body. Only prayer
in meditation can get as there

God is love
:)

















Welcome! :)[/QUOTE thanks for your holy paradise in the the kingdom of God.
God is watching every little aspect of our lives. We need only to surrender our
soul to Him. Words are no longer necessary because because His Love is purely
within us.

Psalms 119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

Amen we talk often about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and in this terrible and beautiful act he wrought for us we see the love of God in action

“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. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:16-19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

to love each other as he taught us in example and teaching is to
Love him in truth

“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?”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

man is made in Gods image and he died for not only us individually but for those who become hard for us to love as well jesus suffered to show us love that saves Souls

1 Cor 13:4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I see a LOT of posts in these forums that do not embody this Spirit. Is it safe to say those people are acting outside of and absent God's love?

I image some are; but it's hard to say without know exactly what posts you're talking about. I also image if you ask 10 people you'll also get 10 opinions.

Which "love" is God. Seriously. I know I should already know this. Maybe I should just look it up. But I think it's worth the discussion anyway.

Romans, Chapter 5:

8) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Ephesians, Chapter 2:

4) But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5) Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)


The love of God is truly FREE!

God is love, we are to know His love shed abroad in our heart passing our knowledge, being filled with the fullness of God that was given, even from when you first believed, to abide in you.

1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.


How perfect is His grace and reward as should be in the life that now is and to come eternally.

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Psalms 31:23 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
1 Timothy 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

amen to what you have shared there I wanted to add a thought

Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,”

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:12-13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
‭‭John‬ ‭18:37‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:63‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. ……But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:23, 25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭1:14-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

it seems as if the Holy Spirit , our new birth , the word of truth , always is tied to the word of Jesus Christ he was sent to preach to the world who would believe him

“If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:15-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Even after we receive the spirit it seems to be centered on Christs word in the gospel

“These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:25-26‬ ‭KJV‬‬
