LOVE Great LOVE Has Been Lavished On Us
LOVE is what Christianity is about as we read in 1 John 3:1 (NIV) See what great LOVE the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

John 3:16-17 (NIV) 16 For God so LOVED the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. God so LOVED—Jesus died to save us that is how much God loved us before we were ever born.
John 3:11-12 (NIV) 11 For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should LOVE one another. 12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous. The world is going to hate us and try to divide us one of the biggest divisions in the would today, and it is not the world, I do believe is denominations. I believe this have done as much if not more to destroy the Gods LOVE as any thing in the world today.
We are not known as our given name we are known as “so in so” Baptist, or Lutheran, Pentecostal, or what ever. I walked out of church because of the name calling and the jokes of other denominations. I asked the Lord show me a church that does not put down others and I will go there if not I am not. He put me in a church 6 years ago that does not and I LOVE it there. In fact there are 4 or 5 different denominations pastors that get together to work on unity and getting the people in this little small down saved.
To me it is all about LOVE, let us love one another and let it be seen in the world. 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV) And now these three remain: faith, hope and LOVE. But the greatest of these is LOVE. 1 Corinthians 8 says LOVE NEVER fails. Not sometimes or every now and then NEVER fails… LOVE NEVER FAILS!
