We will look at The God Factor as it pertains to our life!
First and absolutely; each human born has an inert connection to our Heavenly Father Almighty God - {The only Awesome inity in existent!}
Who is the source and perfection of Agape Love; which is the bases of His essence; coupled with Mercy (Grace) and Justice for all! This is a limited overview; because God can not be placed in a box {like a this blog experience} therefore our intent here is to attempt to help define Him in our relationship!
One of the basic elements is His Absolute Love that provides the many reasons for all His other eternal attributes! Our (your) whole personal existence is because of His Love and Mercy through Grace!
Love is the greatest power, the most powerful force that ever exists. It drives our lives, it motivates our actions, it stimulates our passion, it shapes our thoughts, it molds our thinking, it directs our behavior, it justifies our reactions.
Love determines our sacrifices, it sustains our endurance, it sharpens our choices, it dictates outcomes, it maximizes our care, it conceives our plans, it enhances our planning. Love always seeks to please, to protect, to defend, to nurture, to care, to court, to charm, to dream, to beautify, to attract, to preserve, to persevere, to cover, to educate, to uplift, to promote, to respect, to liberate, to elevate, to build up, to repair, to publicize, to exalt!
The dictionary defines “Love” (noun) as “a strong positive emotion of regard; any object of warm affection or devotion; a beloved person; used as terms of endearment.
“To Love” (verb) is to have a great affection and liking for, to get pleasure from, to be enamored or in love with; …
The Bible (New International Version / NIV),
in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, lists some attributes and virtues of Love:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.”
The best example and the greatest lesson of Love is given to us by God the Father Himself who, out of His unthinkable kind of Agape Love for the world (the human race) (John 3:16 & 17), sent His one and only Son Jesus Christ to die in order to save us and to redeem us from eternal damnation.
His evident gesture of Love through the death of His Son has therefore eliminated His intended wrath against us in terms of His anger towards us after the first man, Adam, disobeyed Him and sinned against Him in the Garden of Eden. His Great-Creator’s Love for us has compelled Him to offer His own Son as the utmost sacrifice to save us all from the consequences of the original sin (Genesis 3/Whole Chapter).
We truly thank God for His unique compassion and for His untouchable mercy. Otherwise, none of us would ever escape to or ever dream to make it to Heaven.
It is written in 1 Peter 1:3:
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
Here is the greatest lesson of Love for us to study, to meditate upon, to learn from, and to practice on all occasions, at all times and towards all.
The topic of Love is the widest and the vastest subject that would take volumes upon volumes to develop. For the purpose of this blog, we will focus, concentrate and remain within the context of what Jesus taught in Mark 12:30-31 that states:
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”
** This is a key part of your eternal existence; which the prudent person would incorporate into their earthly life!
