Love God is love so love is the greatest power in the universe love will conquer all evil its the only thing that can how can we aquire this love its nothing we can do its a gift from God it comes with the HolySpirit.
We have many good examples of this Godly Love.

‭1 Corinthians 13:8 ESV‬
[8] Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.


‭1 Corinthians 13:13 ESV‬
[13] So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.


‭John 3:16 ESV‬
[16] “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.


‭Mark 12:30-31 ESV‬
[30] And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ [31] The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”


So lets learn to love as we are commanded.

Love and Peace
Dave

I love this post, but it belongs in a theology sub-forum, not the Creation & Theistic Evolution sub-forum. But, John 3:16-18 is my favorite Bible verse, along with Psalm 111:2. :)

Thank you AlexB23 for your reply seams its not a very interesting subject but I will plod on regardless.
You say it dose not belong in the creation and evolution sub-forum I disagree Gods creation is one long story of Gods love for his creation the crowning glory man in his image which is Jesus Christ at his second comming with his body of believers all loving one another. Its love that binds all things together its the cement that holds the new Jerusalem together.

‭1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ESV‬
[4] Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant [5] or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; [6] it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. [7] Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.


Only love can overcome evil.

Love and Peace

You're in the Deeper Fellowship forum now where I'm sure that all will agree with your post. The love story of Christ and the church is found through the whole of the Holy Scriptures! He is the sum of all spiritual things for us.

Hi citizen of the kingdom thank you for your post not sure everyone agreeing to what I say is always beneficial if someone contradicts me I will pick up my bible to find scripture to support what I say.
Back to the subject of Love

‭Galatians 5:17-18, 22-23 ESV‬
[17] For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. [18] But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.


So the fruit of the spirit is love God sends his love into our hearts and we sprea d that love in the world verses 22 23 tell us what that love is and this is what the world needs so lets spread this love with the help of the HolySpirit its Gods love working through uss via the Holy spirit so its God loving the world through his children and the Holy spirit.

Lovve and Peace
Dave

Hi can we with St Paul say these words

‭Romans 8:38-39 ESV‬
[38] For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, [39] nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Are we absolutely certain that we have the Spirit of love which joins us to Jesus Christ and the God of Love.

Love and Peace
Dave

Hi Moving on

‭2 John 1:5 ESV‬
[5] And now I ask you, dear lady—not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.


We must love one another Jesus also gave us these commandments

‭Matthew 22:37-40 ESV‬
[37] And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. [38] This is the great and first commandment. [39] And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. [40] On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”


Everything hinges on that word love how can we comply with these commands it is only when we recieve the spirit of love we can impart Gods love to the sinner and to our enemies Gods love shall conquer all evil in the world so pray to receive the spirit of love.

Love and Peace
Dave

Hi

John 3:16-17 ESV
[16] “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.


Is this God showing us what love your enemies means Christ died for a world of lost sinners.
Sinners are those opposed to God his enemies how do we love our enemies love is the only power that can overcome evil so let us love as God has loved.

Love and Peace
Dave

Hi
Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.

Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

So if we comply with these two commandments we comply with all the laws given to Israel if you love God and your neighbor its impossible to do harm to your neighbours be them friends or enemies so let us set an example to the world and follow the laws of love.

Love and Peace
Dave

Hi
To love as God wants us to love is very difficult but we must try

Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Can we follow these commands not easy by any means Gods love is a hard road to follow.

Love and Peace
Dave
