GOD'S LOVE 4 U!

-





This week couples are thinking
about how to express their love
on Valentine's Day. Most  stores 
are stocking Teddy bears, roses,
and candy. 

I'll admit I have done my share of 
buying special gifts for my spouse
for Valentine's Day. I always tried
to do something special each year.
My challenge was to make the gift
or dinner more special than the
previous  year. He really seemed 
to appreciate my efforts.

 There is a love that is the best love
in the world.  It is agape love. This
means the love God has for us. His
love is unconditional and He sent 
His son to die for the sins of the 
world. 





LIFE LESSON:

LEARN THE MEANING OF AGAPE LOVE!


MALACHI 1:2



 “I have loved you,” says the Lord. “Yet you say, ‘In what way have You loved us?’
Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” Says the Lord. “Yet Jacob I have loved;

 JOHN 3:16



For God so loved the world that 
He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him 
should not perish but have ever
lasting life.
JOHN 8:42

Jesus said to them, “If God were 
your Father, you would love Me,
for I proceeded forth and came 
from God; nor have I come of 
Myself, but He sent Me.
ROMANS 5:5, 8

5 Now hope does not disappoint, 
because the love of God has been
poured out in our hearts by the 
Holy Spirit who was given to us.
8 But God demonstrates His own 
love toward us, in that while we 
were still sinners, Christ died for
us.
ROMANS 8: 39
 


nor height nor depth, nor any 
other created thing, shall be 
able to separate us from the 
love of God which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
 2 CORINTHIANS 13: 11, 14



11 Finally, brethren, farewell. 
Become complete. Be of good 
comfort, be of one mind, live 
in peace; and the God of love
and peace will be with you.
 
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and the love of God, and 
the communion of the Holy Spirit
be with you all. Amen.
EPHESIANS 2: 4



But God, who is rich in mercy, because
of His great love with which He loved us.
EPHESIANS 3:19



to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
1 TIMOTHY 6:11



But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.
TITUS 3:4


But when the kindness and the love of
God our Savior toward man appeared.
1 JOHN 3: 1


Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did
not know Him.
1 JOHN 4:10, 16
10 In this is love, not that we loved 
God, but that He loved us and sent
His Son to be the propitiation for 
our sins.


16 And we have known and believed 
the love that God has for us. God is 
love, and he who abides in love abides
in God, and God in him.

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore ...

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now ...

The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to u...
