Love for God and Jesus and all of their creation.


This next word of my five core words might bother some people. As stated in my Bible, it is true about what God says regarding the word 'love'. Give every word of this your full attention.

My word is Love.

A powerful word by itself, yet some people cannot see that in the word itself. So, I hope that after reading my post, you gain a stronger understanding of the word 'Love'.

Let's begin with the dictionary definition of the word' love' in my Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary.

It states: Love is a profoundly tender and passionate affection for another person. 2) A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection as for a parent, child, or friend. 3) Sexual passion or desire. 4) A person toward whom love is felt, be it a person or a sweetheart. 5) Used indirect address as a term of tenderness, affection, or the like. " Would you like to see a movie. Love. 6) A love affair, an intensely amorous incident: amour. 7) Sexual intercourse, copulation. 8) A  personification of sexual affection as Eros or Cupid. 9) Affectionate concern for the well-being of others: The love of one's neighbor. 10) Strong predilection, enthusiasm, or liking for anything: Her love for books. 11) The object or thing so like: The theater was her great love. 12) The benevolent affection of God for his creation or the reverent affection due from them to God.

In this dictionary, I do not feel that it adequately explains what love means to God and Jesus, who gives us love freely. However, it still made excellent points about the word 'Love'. Yet, it does not convey what I wanted to share with you about the love I know and believe. Please take a moment to finish reading my post.

God so loved this world that he sent his only begotten son so that whosoever believeth in him would not perish. But will have Everlasting Life. To give us a chance to be saved from our sins and death. He gave his life for this cause. However, we still don't fully understand what true love means to God and Jesus. So, let me share with you that it means to 'My Lord Jesus' and 'our Father.'

Now I will show you the most excellent way.

In 1st Corinthians, verses 1 through 13

If I speak in the Tongues of men and Angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

Verse 2) If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Verse 3) If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to flames, but have not love, I am nothing.

Verse 4) Love is patient, Love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

Verse 5) It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Verse 6) Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.

Verse 7) It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Verse 8) Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Verse 9) For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

Verse 10) But when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

Verse 11) When I was a child, I talked like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

Verse 12) Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully even as I am fully known.

Verse 13) And now these three remain: Faith, Hope, and Love. But the greatest of these is Love.

As you can see, Love is our strongest ally. One reason I believe in love is because it is a gift from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father, which helps us to live in their way of life. With this chapter, he is not just showing us how to love; he is also demonstrating how to love. But also how he Loves Us.

God bless you and your family.

Thank you for reading my post.

With God and Jesus, I walk.

With God and Jesus, I Walk. To begin my story, I need to share this with you. First, in my life, there were always questions. For me, who is God, and what is the importance of worshiping, believing, serving, and following my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? I have gone to many different churches but never joined any of them. My reason for this was that I felt that I was not getting the right answers to my questions. You see, my mother introduced me to the bible. Then she gave me an orange color book called Paradise. I loved that book; it taught me about my heavenly Father, His creation, and His son, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. LOL, I'm not sure if any of you remember that book. But you can believe me, it was a good beginning book about the bible for me. But then at age 13, my mother passed, and with no other family to go to. I was all alone because I felt this way. I turned away from my Heavenly Father and my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And, by doing this, I had opened the do...

My understanding of God and Jesus

  In my understanding of my walk with God and Jesus, it is not only to share my love and devotion to them, but also to help you see a different way to view my Lord Jesus and our Father, through all the ways I believe and see them in my life. These posts are about my beliefs and the experiences they have had with me. You don't have to have the same thoughts as I do, or believe in them like I do. But as I share with you, you can always share your thoughts with me. I have decided before we begin our Jounry. I want to share this with you.  I call this my good Book. You know how a good book can make you want to jump to the end before you finish, or the beginning. Well, this is the beginning of a good book. This story is about a child who was introduced to the Bible but was not taught how to understand it. Have you ever wanted to learn something, but the teacher was not there to teach you and answer your questions? I have gone through this with the bible and got lost in how I was ex...

Believe/Belief

 Why I believe in God and Jesus. First, I want to ask you, do you believe that God and Jesus are real? Or do you even know about them at all? In John 3:16, it states that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. When I first read this, I thought Will I have eternal life? So, I decided I wanted more information about this statement from God, about my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and for us to believe in him. In my Life Application Study Bible, in John 3:15, it states, "So that everyone who believes in me (Jesus Christ) will have eternal life." I have another verse from my Study Bible to share with you. According to my study Bible, in the study section of my Life Application Bible, in chapter 3, verses 14 and 15, it states that when the Israelites were wandering in the Wilderness, God sent a plague of snakes. To punish the people for their rebellious attitudes. Those doomed to die from snakebite could be healed by obeying God's command to look up at ...
