God is Love

"...God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." - Romans 5:5, ESV.

Let love change your life. Would you like to be patient, kind, unselfish, not irritable or resentful, filled with faith and hope? I know, it sounds too good to be true. Impossible, you say. Certainly, you're right, unless we experience God's love. Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-6,13. All of these things come only through a life of love.

Our lives can be changed by receiving the love of God. To receive Jesus Christ is to receive the love of God. Religion without love is judgmental, unkind and mean spirited. Jesus taught that others would know that we are his disciples because we love one another.

Our lives can be changed by being filled with the love of God. This is called the Spirit filled life. Paul prays for believers to be filled with the Spirit in Ephesians 3, which means to be filled with the fulness of God's love. Let us pray that God will fill us with his love.

Our lives can be changed by confessing as sin every thought, word and deed that was unloving. Jesus taught that all the commandments of God are fulfilled in one word,
love.

The Bible says, "God is love." When we walk and talk with him, his love changes our lives. Love can change your life.
