Answer—The Love of God
From a human perspective, we often define love as an attraction one has toward another person. We say, “I am in love with that person.” Because we are attracted to that person. And love surely does attract us to the one we love, but attraction is not always rooted in love. Love is something altogether different and much deeper than attraction, though love often does express itself in such a manner. To understand love in a better way, we must understand what God’s Word says about God’s love.
God defines His love, which is brought to us through the person of Jesus Christ, as different from all other sources that surround it like a lily in the valley or an apple tree amongst the wild tree of the forest. The lily is surrounded by weeds and grass and rises above and brings a smile to the valley, one lily makes the entire valley worth looking at. The apple tree bears fruit unlike all the other trees of the forest, and in the same manner the love of God is above all other love.
Song of Click-Solomon 2:1–4
1. It is a Perfect Love
It is good enough to love the worst sinner, the old person, the young person, the rich, the poor. All people.
2. It is an Everlasting Love
There is never a time when God will stop loving a person. A person does not always experience that love, like a child that runs away from home. His parents still love him, but he does not receive that love being separated from them.
3. It is an Ultimate Love
The word "so" talks about the magnitude of His love. He loves to the full extent. There is no holding back; He demonstrated that by giving His one and only Son, to make us all sons.
4. It is a Giving Love
There was nothing that He held back from us. If we want to love people with His love, there cannot be anything that we are not willing to give for their well-being. If we hold back, we do not love with His love.
5. It is an Active Love
6. It is a Compelling Love
7. An Initiating Love
Without his love, I can only love myself. Only His love can truly love others.
Like God is the only source of life, He is the only source of love. It is His love in us that activates a love in us to love Him, and love others. If we do not receive His love, we cannot love.
1. Receive it
Without Christ, we do not have the love of God in us
2. Embrace it
3. Express it
If we have the love of God in us motivating us if we are believers in and have Jesus Christ in us; we will do what He did because of the love that motivated Him-- Click-John 3:16 He gave His life; we must give ours.
