God is Love

[Hosanna]

Well said Sorella.
1Co 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of humans and of angels, and have not love, I am become as roaring brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1Co 13:2 And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am of no value.
1Co 13:3 And if I give away in doles all the things belonging to me to feed the poor, and if I deliver up my body in order that it may be burned, and have not love, I am nothing profited.
1Co 13:4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love boasteth not itself, is not inflated with pride,
1Co 13:5 Does not conduct itself disgracefully, seeketh not her own, is not roused to anger, reckons not the contempt done to it;
1Co 13:6 Rejoiceth not at unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth as it wins its way;
1Co 13:7 Forbearing in all provocations, is ready to believe all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
1Co 13:8 Love never falleth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be brought to nought; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away [fail].
1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in parts.
1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I reasoned as a child: but when I became a man, I did away with the things of a child.
1Co 13:12 For now we see through a mirror, in a riddle; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I fully know even as I was fully known also.
1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.


1Co 13:1 If in the leshonot of Bnei Adam and malachim I speak, but I do not have ahavah, I have become only a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
1Co 13:2 And if I have nevu’ah and have da’as of all sodot and all da’as, and if I have all emunah so as to remove mountains, but ahavah I do not have, I am nothing.
1Co 13:3 And if I’m a marbitz tzedaka and give all I possess in gemilut chasadim and if I give my body al kiddush ha-Shem for sereifah (death by burning), but ahavah I do not have, I have gained nothing. [DANIEL 3:28]
1Co 13:4 Ahavah suffers long; ahavah is kind; ahavah does not have kinah; ahavah does not brag; ahavah is not puffed up in ga’avah (conceit, pride);
1Co 13:5 ahavah does not behave shamelessly; ahavah does not in anochiyut insist on its own way; ahavah is not touchy and vindictive, keeping a record of wrongs (ZECHARYAH 8:17).
1Co 13:6 Ahavah does not find simcha in evil, but rejoices in HaEmes.
1Co 13:7 Ahavah covers all things (MISHLE 10:12), believes all things, has tikvah (hope), even zitzfleisch, for all things.
1Co 13:8 Ahavah never fails. However, divrei nevu’ah will be abolished; leshonot will cease; da’as will come to an end.
1Co 13:9 For we have da’as in part, and we have divrei nevu’ah is part.
1Co 13:10 But when shleimah (completion) comes, the teilvaiz (partial) will disappear.
1Co 13:11 When I was a yeled, I used to speak like one, think like one, reason like one. But when I became mevugar (mature), I put away kinderyohrn. [Ps 131:2]
1Co 13:12 For still we see through a mirror indistinctly. But then [in the Olam Haba], distinctly, panim el panim. Now I have da’as only in part; then I will have da’as fully, even as also Hashem had full da’as of me. [Job 26:14; 36:26; Gn 32:30; Job 19:26]
1Co 13:13 But now remain emunah, tikvah, and ahavah, these shalosh (three). And the greatest of these is ahavah.

My love is patient.

1 Corinthians 13:4
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud. NLT

You may at times feel impatient with yourself or your circumstances dear child, but I want you to know that I have an infinite amount of patience for you. For I see you through the lens of eternity and am not moved by the temporal bumps in the road that come your way.

I understand why you can sometimes grow restless and disheartened when things don't happen in you and for you in the timelines you had hoped for. But remember My little heir, eternal life has already begun in you through your union with Jesus. So the measurement of time and space that is limited by your humanity is eclipsed by My everlasting love for you.

Therefore do not get frustrated with your progress, because I know the end from the beginning and am fully committed to finish in you what I began before the foundation of the world. So take a deep breath little one and relax today. For My love will sustain you through thick and thin, no matter what comes your way.

My love is encouraging.

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. NIV

---

I know there are many things in life that are discouraging dear child, and I understand what discouragement can do to your tender heart. I know full well how discouragement left unattended, has the potential to weigh you down and crush your hopes and dreams.

So today, if you are feeling downcast, simply let My love lift your head high, so you can see from the perspective of heaven. For I want to fill you with My eternal encouragement so you will know at a deeper level, that nothing in all creation can separate you from My love.

So just relax little one, and let My love work on your behalf today. As you simply yield to a fresh outpouring of My delight and affirmation, you will be encouraged and strengthened knowing that you are more than a conqueror through My love in Christ, right here and now.

[Hosanna]

My love is immeasurable.

Ephesians 3:18-19
Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God! TPT


In the same way that it is impossible to count all the stars in the universe, it is simply not possible for you to fully fathom the depths of My love in Christ. Especially if you try and grasp it with your limited earthly understanding. For My love surpasses all knowledge.

That is why I have given you My own Spirit as a deposit to guarantee your everlasting inheritance. Just ask for a deeper revelation of My love today with childlike faith, and you will receive what you ask for. Because the nature of My heart as your Father, is to give good gifts to My children when they ask...especially when they ask for more of My love!

So open up your heart today dear child and get ready to receive a fresh outpouring of My infinite affection for you. You don't have to do anything to earn or deserve that which I freely love to give. Just posture yourself to receive, and watch as My love springs up in your inner being. It will be like an artesian well bubbling up in the holy tabernacle of your heart where My Kingdom dwells.

My love is revealed in you.

Ephesians 5:1-2
Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. NLT


My dearly loved little child, how I long for you to go deeper into the eternal reservoir of My affection today. For the more you can receive of My infinite love, the more you will be able to be a manifestation of that same love, to everyone you meet.

For it is My will in Christ, that you would live your life filled with love. A love that does not originate in human effort, but a divine love that has existed for all of eternity. If you make the pursuit of love your greatest aim, you will be following the beautiful example of your big brother. For His life was a sweet smelling sacrifice that touched My heart like nothing else ever could.

But don't worry little one, for this is not something that you have to initiate. All you have to do is simply receive what I freely give you. And receiving is as easy as breathing. So take a deep breath in this very moment, and allow My everlasting love to once again, fill your entire being with the full measure of My fullness today.

My love pardoned you.

Hebrews 8:12
For I will demonstrate my mercy to them and will forgive their evil deeds, and never remember again their sins.” TPT


My dear child, today I want to remind you that I have forgiven all your sins, not just some of them. For though I am all knowing, in My great love for you, I have chosen to forgive and forget. And not just the ones from your past, but all your sins.

That means that any missteps you make today are covered. Any mistakes you make tomorrow are washed clean. And yes, even for the rest of your life here on earth, the shed blood of My beloved Son will be forever more than enough to declare you innocent and blameless in My sight.

So if I don't accuse you, stop accusing yourself. And if there are voices shouting around you that make you feel condemned, stop listening to them little one. For there is no condemnation to those who are in Jesus Christ, for My love has declared you holy and righteous in My sight both now and forevermore.

My love is undying.

Jeremiah 31:3
Long ago the Lord said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. NLT

---

I want to remind you today just how much I love you dear child! For there is nothing in My kingdom that I would withhold from you because I love you as much as I love My beloved Son. As He is the apple of My eye, so are you. As He is My constant joy and delight, so are you. As He is absolutely perfect in My sight, so are you.

So I call you up higher today little one, into the eternal ocean of My undying affection. For if you would just surrender to the whirlwind of My passionate love that is beckoning you today, it will take you higher than you have ever gone before, into the eternal expanse of My acceptance and affirmation.

For My love for you is greater than you could possibly hope for or imagine, and is more enduring than creation itself. It is unceasing, steadfast and as vast as the immeasurable expanse of the universe. And it is all yours dear one, in your forever union with Jesus.

Jeremiah 31:3
Long ago the Lord said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.

...and if I say that therefore GOD would never create a lover, a beloved
- knowing they will end in hell (not creating them would keep hell empty)
- as already fallen and sinful in Adam with no free will decision by us to sin,
- as already under the judgements of suffering and death for sin.

THEN someone always suggest that SINCE HE DID create us this way then because HE did that, it proves that this is a loving way to create HIS bride...which I most vehemently reject. HE did NOT do this to us in love, the thesis is wrong.

RATHER, when love treats the lover like a hated enemy, I suggest that there is something wrong about this definition of how we are created and how we came to be sinners needing HIM to express HIS love for us in our redemption.

Ps 11:5 The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul HATES the lover of violence.
Psalm 5:4 For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.
Berean Standard Bible ...so WHY would HE create us this way? HOW could HE create us this way??

My love is liberating.

2 Corinthians 3:17
For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. NLT

I want to remind you today of My intense desire for you to experience freedom in every area of your wonderful life dear child. For anything that enslaves or imprisons you is an enemy that your Savior has already destroyed, because if My Son has set you free, you are free indeed!

So don't return to the yoke of slavery enforced upon you by broken religious systems and orphan hearted world ideologies, that will try to convince you otherwise. For any distorted principle born in the heart of control and manipulation, will lead you to fear and not love.

So throw off these burdens dear one and follow the way of love. For My love does not seek to shame you into obedience and it does not coerce you to comply to some unrealistic expectations. It sets you free to be the one-of-a-kind masterpiece that I dreamed you would be before the creation of the world!

My love protects you.

John 10:28-30
28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, 29 for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand. 30 The Father and I are one.” NLT

I want to awaken you to the eternal security you have in My love dear child. For there is nothing in all creation that could ever snatch you out of My hand...ever. The more you know this at the core of your being, the less fear and doubt can cause you to feel unsafe and insecure about your eternal future.

For you are forever bonded with Jesus and perpetually sealed with My Spirit in your divine union with Me. And in this holy place of togetherness, no enemy can reach you, and nothing can disturb your peace because My protective love keeps you safe in the palm of My hand.

So don't be afraid of the temporal trials that will try and steal your sense of well being today. Instead, look up, and fix your eyes on the things can never be taken away from you. The things of My Kingdom that are unshakable and enduring, and part of your eternal inheritance in My beloved Son.

My love secures you.

Psalm 40:2
He stooped down to lift me out of danger from the desolate pit I was in, out of the muddy mess I had fallen into. Now he’s lifted me up into a firm, secure place and steadied me while I walk along his ascending path. TPT

---

When you fall down dear child, I am there to pick you up. When you get into trouble, I will always be present to rescue you. When you find yourself wading in the muck and mire of your own brokenness, be comforted knowing that My love will wash you clean.

For there is nothing that can happen to you this side of heaven that can ever separate you from My love. Angels and demons can't separate you. The power of sin can't separate you. Even death itself has lost its sting in the glorious victory My Son has secured on your behalf.

So instead of spending your life fearing all the potential pitfalls that may come your way, or living in shame because of past mistakes, be comforted in knowing that for all eternity, My love will be your constant companion and your ferocious defender.

My love welcomes you.

Romans 15:7
You will bring God glory when you accept and welcome one another as partners, just as the Anointed One has fully accepted you and received you as his partner. TPT

---

My arms are always wide open to welcome you into My presence dear child. For the very nature of My love is to receive with great joy all who would come to Me. For I am glad to receive all My children, especially the wayward ones, in the same way the prodigal son was welcomed home by his loving father.

So today dear one, if you have any fear of being rejected or abandoned by Me, know that this is not a true representation of who I am. Because day or night, I am always waiting and watching, with arms extended, ready to receive you into My loving embrace. Ready to welcome you home.

After all, you were created by love, and for love. And that love can only be fully realized when you take your rightful place at My side in My beloved Son. For that is where you have always belonged. Hid in Christ, nestled in My arms, anointed by My Spirit, and sealed with My love.

The "problem of evil" is very difficult to resolve with God's love.

Not if man has free will.

Not if man has free will.

Doug

Exactly just as the angels have/had free will to rebel which cause evil to occur in the first place. They rebelled against God prior to man via the same free with they were created with and 2/3 decided by their free will not to join the rebellion..

 

[TedT]

Exactly just as the angels have/had free will to rebel which cause evil to occur in the first place. They rebelled against God prior to man via the same free with they were created with and 2/3 decided by their free will not to join the rebellion..

In the story of Rev 12:4-9 about the fall of some spirit people called stars in heaven, no one is called an angel until they are recognized as working for Michael in GOD's army or as Satan's angels as working for him. Angel is a job description, not a designation for a race or type or species of beings. Stars designates some people who are separate from both the people who are committed to Satan and from those people dedicated to YHWH and willing to fight in HIS army.

Does the Bible say that ALL sinners in HIS creation were flung to earth?

We read in Rev 12:4 His tail swept a third of the stars from the sky, tossing /flinging (balló them to the earth. right before his war with the holy angels. Since Satan had power over them to cast them down, I suggest they must have been sinners so I ask: "Why did Satan cast down sinners who could have helped him in his coming war with GOD?"

This story clearly defines three sets of people: The two groups of stars: 1/3 of whom became sinful in GOD's eyes and under Satan's power and the 2/3 of whom Satan had no power over at all and then Satan's army of demons. Iow, I do not see that the 1/3 swept to earth also contains all his demons but we know from other places that stars are few and far between among the reprobate people of earth.

To cast down is
S906. balló: to throw, cast down,hurl and in this verse includes the ideas of the use of force and effort: to smite one with slaps, to buffet... The animosity of this verb is echoed in v9 where it repeated twice: Rev 12:7 Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels. 9 And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Satan hurled these sinful stars to the earth with the same hostile emotion that Michael and the holy elect angels violently hurled him and his demons to the earth, that is, it would seem like Satan hated these stars!

Well, the only sinners I can think of that are useless to Satan are Christ's sheep who went astray into sin, the sinful people of the kingdom called the good seed, Matt 13:36-39....who seem to be those people who have put their faith in YHWH as their GOD and Saviour thus becoming elect to salvation but who then rebelled against HIS commands and so came under Satan's power though he hated them for being elect.

This is not the 'stick you in the eye' kind of proof that all the sinners of earth existed before being sown into the earth that I am often challenged to provide but I will point out that this interpretation of who these stars are does no disvalue to the words as written but only conflicts with the preconceived ideology of some sectarian beliefs. This might be a case of "It is written right there but some can't or won't see it."

And, if anyone has a theory about there being other sinners in existence beside the reprobate demons and the sinful elect people of the kingdom, I'll peruse your argument.

If one of your children started raping the other right in front of you, would you allow it to honor their free will?

You would use the power you have to intervene and stop it, despite their free will, right?

It's not as simple as you are making it.

is why it is not so simple

adam gave dominion over to the demon nations...

Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it. Proverbs 22:6

 

[Nadab]

There’s a lot in Scripture about God’s love for us. But there’s quite a lot about God’s wrath as well. But is God’s love only one side of God’s character? Is wrath really another, complementary side we must consider?

Paul tells us in Romans 11:22 to consider the “kindness and sternness of God.”

Would it therefore be a weak, tepid, overly feel-good theology that considers only God’s love but neglects to consider God’s wrath?
The answer is not immediately obvious. This is because the term wrath can be used to denote a variety of occurrences in Scripture. One kind of repeated reference to wrath seems pretty plainly to refer to the emotion of anger.

Deuteronomy 9:8 tells us that “at Horeb you aroused the LORD’s wrath so that he was angry enough to destroy you.” This is language one naturally associates with the rising and falling of an emotion. Wrath in these contexts might be thought of as a synonym for “feeling angry.”
