Today is Saturday, April 7, 2018. Hi, my name is Adam Burton, and you are listening to The Daily Devo, a short devotional designed to help you apply God's Word to your life. The contents come from the Gospel Project. Take a few moments and read 1 John, chapter 3, verses 10 through 18.
In a world filled with ideas about what love is, it can be hard to discern what it looks like to follow the Bible's commands of love. Our culture is obsessed with feelings. Most people view love as an emotion, which can come and go as it pleases. The world's definition of love does not always involve actions.
However, while the Bible does talk about love as a feeling and emotion, it talks more frequently about love as being evidenced mostly in our actions. Passages about love fill the Bible. Statements such as, A Friend's Loves at All Times, and Proverbs 17, 17. Or But Love Your Enemies, Found in Luke, chapter 6, verse 35.
Or Love Your Neighbor as Yourself, in Leviticus 1918. Or Love One Another as I Have Love You, in John, chapter 15, verse 12. Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity, in Colossians, chapter 3, verse 14. What is your favorite verse on love in the Bible, and why?
While the Bible talks a lot about love in different contexts, it also makes clear that true love originates in God. God is the author and source of love, which was ultimately demonstrated when God sent His Son to die for us while we were still sinners. When God rescued us from sin, He gave us a new identity, and the fruits of love will be evident in our lives. If you are a need a prayer, please get in touch with me.
