I John 4: 19 says: We love Him, because He first loved us.
Let us meditate on these words from the LORD and let the order of things take root in our spirit. Everything that lives, moves and has it's being, begins with GOD. John 1: 1-5 reminds us that ALL things were made through JESUS, the WORD of GOD. This means that everything begins with GOD and since GOD is love, All love comes from Him. We love, because He first loved us and showed us the way to love. Even better than that, He loves through us, making true love perfect.
What is true love? It is love that begins in GOD, and is manifest in the life and work of the born again believer in JESUS. The deeper that the relationship with JESUS grows, the more love is shown in the life and work of the believer. In other words, the more love for Christ, the more Christ love is shown. True love begins in GOD.
We love Him, because He first loved us. The love of GOD sent His Son to live and die as one of us. The love of GOD for us caused Him to raise the resurrection of JESUS from the dead, so that all who believe in Him would not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3: 16). JESUS defeated death and the grave by the resurrection of JESUS. All who follow JESUS, follow Him through the resurrection from death and into a life with Him for all eternity.
We love Him, because He first loved us.
RETURN TO YOUR FIRST LOVE
