LOVE – WHAT IS IT? (4)
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
I John 5:11 (KJV)
What exactly is this love? Seventhly, this love is manifested and experienced in HaMashiach. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” I John 4:9 says, “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” This is the first point in understanding and experiencing the Love of Yahweh in your life. If you don’t have the Son, you don’t have the life and love only belongs to the living. Coming alive in HaMashiach is the only way to experiencing eternal life and consequently the Yahweh-kind of love. What we do is to respond to the Love of Yahweh. When that love is shed abroad in our heart, we are then able to extend it to our neighbour. I John 4:11 says, “Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.” Until you have experienced the Love of Yahweh, you cannot respond in love to Him, neither can you extend that love to your neighbour. That is why experiencing the Life of Yahweh in HaMashiach is inevitable.
Eighthly, the Yahweh-kind of Love is eternal. It is not what happens today and then disappears tomorrow. The problem with us is that we have developed human thinking about these things that we imagine that Divine Love is as what humans call love. What humans call love is basically an expression of their feelings. But Yahweh-kind of love is a choice and He has made that choice from eternity past and it is not going to change because He does not change. Jeremiah 31:3 says, “The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” It is an everlasting love Beloved that He loved you.
Ninthly, the Yahweh-kind of love is one attribute of Yahweh among many. The love of Yahweh is not the complete truth and revelation about Yahweh as far as the Bible is concerned. It is one attribute of Yahweh among so many others. For example, Yahweh is a consuming fire (see Hebrews 12:29), Yahweh is a man of war (see Exodus 15:3), etc. In His book, Knowing God (p. 108), J. I. Parker said concerning the love of Yahweh, “It is not an abstract definition which stands alone, but a summing up, from the believer’s standpoint, of what the whole revelation set forth in Scripture tells us about its Author. This statement [God is love] presupposes all the rest of the biblical witness to God. The God of whom John is speaking is the God who made the world, who judged it by the Flood, who called Abraham and made of him a nation, who chastened His Old Testament people by conquest, captivity, and exile, who sent His Son to save the world, who cast off unbelieving Israel and shortly before John wrote had destroyed Jerusalem, and who would one day judge the world in righteousness. It is this God, says John, who is love. It is not possible to argue that a God who is love cannot also be a God who condemns and punishes the disobedient; for it is precisely of the God who does these very things that John is speaking.”
REMEMBER: He has loved you with an everlasting love.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Word to me today! I receive your love into my heart love and I respond in obedience in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: Your encounter with this love will transform every area of your life in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
