Gods Love Towards Us

• What is Love ???
• In the Greek there are mainly 3 different words
  describing 3 kinds of Love
• Phileo Brotherly Love or Family Love Very
  Strong bond
• Eros Where the words Erotic, or Romantic comes
  from The love between a Man and a Woman
• Agape Godly Love Or Mature Love, also called
  Perfect Love
• 1Co 134-8 (ESV) Love is patient and kind love
  does not envy or boast it is not arrogant or
  rude. It does not insist on its own way it is
  not irritable or resentful it does not rejoice
  at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love
  bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
  things, endures all things. Love never ends (or
  fails). As for prophecies, they will pass away
  as for tongues, they will cease as for
  knowledge, it will pass away.
• THUS Whatever we understand under Love, we can
  First Apply to God.
• 1Jo 47-8 (KJV) Beloved, let us love one
  another for love is of God and every one that
  loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that
  loveth not knoweth not God for GOD IS LOVE !!!

2. 1Jo 410a Herein is love, not that we loved God,
   but that He loved us..
3. 1Jo 419 We love him, because he first loved us
4. God was, is and will always be the First in
   everything in Creation, in Power, in Love and
   in Life !!
5. Rom 829b .that He might be the firstborn among
   many brethren.
6. Eph 316-19 That he would grant you, according
   to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened
   with might by his Spirit in the inner man That
   Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith that
   ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be
   able to comprehend with all saints what is the
   breadth, and length, and depth, and height And
   to know the love of Christ, which passeth
   knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the
   fulness of God.

Gods Love Towards Us !!!

• Now lets look at the rest of 1 Joh 410..
• 1Joh 410 Herein is love, not that we loved God,
  but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the
  propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins.
• Meaning that God so Loved us, that He decided
  to GIVE !!
• Joh 316-17 For God so loved the world, that He
  gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
  believeth in Him should not perish, but have
  everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into
  the world to condemn the world but that the
  world through Him might be saved. (because of
  Love)
• Meaning that True, Pure, Mature, Perfect Love
  cant be selfish it is always willing to GIVE
  !!! And not just to give something He gave it
  ALL !!!

Gods Love Towards Us

• Now what does this means to us today ??
• 1Jo 49 In this was manifested the love of God
  toward us, because that God sent His only
  begotten Son into the world, that we might live
  through Him.
• 1Jo 411-13 Beloved, if God so loved us, we
  ought also to love one another. No man hath seen
  God at any time. If we love one another, God
  dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
  Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in
  us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
• Joh 1334-35 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.
• Ephesus
• Rev 24-5 Nevertheless I have somewhat against
  thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen,
  and repent, and do the first works or else I
  will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy
  candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
  
• Laodicea
• Rev 315-20 I know thy works, that thou art
  neither cold nor hot I would thou wert cold or
  hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and
  neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my
  mouth.
• Vers 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and
  increased with goods, and have need of nothing
  and knowest not that thou art wretched, and
  miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked I
  counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire,
  that thou mayest be rich and white raiment, that
  thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy
  nakedness do not appear and anoint thine eyes
  with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I
  love, I rebuke and chasten be zealous therefore,
  and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and
  knock if any man hear my voice, and open the
  door, I will come in to him, and will sup with
  him, and he with me.

Gods Love Towards Us

1. Why should we have Communion Regularly ??
2. 1Co 1123-24 For I have received of the Lord
   that which also I delivered unto you, That the
   Lord Jesus the same night in which He was
   betrayed took bread And when He had given
   thanks, He broke it, and said, Take, eat this is
   My body, which is broken for you this do in
   remembrance of Me.
3. 1Co 1125 After the same manner also He took the
   cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the
   new testament in My blood this do ye, as oft as
   ye drink it, in remembrance of Me.
4. 1Co 1126 For as often as ye eat this bread, and
   drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till
   He comes.
5. Dream The Power of Having Communion Together
6. 1Co 1127-33 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this
   bread, and drink this cup of the Lord,
   unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood
   of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and
   so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that
   cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily,
   eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not
   discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many
   are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
   For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be
   judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened
   of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with
   the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come
   together to eat, tarry one for another.
7. This scripture is in fact a WARNING from Paul
   of what are we missing out on, if we do not
   partake in the Holy Communion together as we
   should be doing
