Is all about Love

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is made complete in us. — 1 John 4:12

The first thing to do when solving a word problem in mathematics is to figure out what exactly the problem is asking. We must figure out what information is given and what is not. What are the constants that never change and what are the variables? One of the secrets to setting up the problem is to know how specific words are used in the language of math. For instance, the word “is” means “equals,” and when you see the word “is,” you know you can set up an equation in which the parts equal each other. That’s very helpful to know!

In this passage on love, the apostle John sets up a simple, beautiful, and yet remarkably complex equation: God is love.

The story of the relationship between God and creation is a story of love. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus tally up to the ultimate embodiment of love. And when we seek to live into the resurrection, we embody that love as well. God’s love frees us to live out that love in a relationship with one another.

There is no fear in love. There is no shame in love. God and love can never be separated. This is the constant that will never change.

John 13:34-36 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another".

PRAYER

Lord, take away every­thing in our lives that stands in the way of your love, so that we may love you and others. In Jesus’ name Amen.
