UNDERSTANDING GOD (LOVE)

Understanding GOD (LOVE)

Rom 8:32

He that spared not his Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things?"  

God's love cannot be explained, you cannot love someone without knowing and loving GOD, because GOD IS LOVE  

When he says He has freely given us all things, it doesn't mean that by being born of your mother, you have the Joy, love and Peace automatically, you have to first accept his love and grace by accepting Christ into your life,  "GRACE IS FREE BUT NOT CHEAP"- Bishop Mike Okonkwo, someone had to pay for the grace you are receiving who is JESUS CHRIST, the SON OF GOD, he had to die on the cross and take our sins upon himself, so we might be saved, and free. He defeated sin and grave on the cross to make us free in him, because you can only be free when you are in Christ, you cannot be free outside Christ, the devil will want to entice you  with all his worldly goodies, which at the end of the day, he will later take from you, and even cause you harm and not good, the devil is the father of sin and evil, so he will want to do everything possible to sell his market and destroy you, make you feel guilty and eventually leave Christ. The bible in Matthew 7: 13-15 says "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: "14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophet, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  Whatever the devil gives you, he will collect it back, or collect something from you in return, but God never does that, he is a loving GOD, to show how loving he is by giving his only begotten SON to us (john 3:16), he never turns back on his words, heb 6:18( paraphrased) by two immutable things, it is impossible for GOD to lie

Agape Love: The selfless form of love that comes from GOD, IT'S the highest form of love

God's love is selfless unconditional, and sarificial, which is the same kind  of love that God wants us to show to others, do unto others what you want others to do to you, out of your heart and not grudgingly , Love is God and GOD is Love

Grace is un-merited favour, you don't deserve it but he gave it to you freely, We are justified by faith through grace, , so grace is a gift  you don't have to pay for it , ,He is not a man that he should lie neither the son of man that  he should repent, heb 6 vs 18 "That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, 

You can't accept God's grace without knowing him and having faith in GOD ,ad accepting that Christ died for you and I  on the cross, also believe his word Amen
