We have to learn that our words are very powerful. Each time we speak, we call things to be, just as God did when he created the universe with His Words! Romans 4:17 (KJV) says, “(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom we believed, even God, […]

In order to learn the art of forgiveness, we need to remember that sometimes forgiveness is a leap of faith. Sometimes we can forgive a person openly, sometimes we cannot; for example, sometimes the person we need to forgive has died, and we are unable to face them to tell them that we have forgiven […]

Another way to cultivate love, and cause it to grow in our lives, is to pray for one  another. It is very unlikely that you will be able to continue to hate, or badmouth someone who you spend time talking about each day, asking that He will begin to bless that person and speak to […]

Another way we can cultivate the fruit of love in our lives, and cause it to grow and produce, is by being obedient to God’s Word. 1 John 5:3  (Amplified), “For the [true] love of God is this: that we habitually keep His commandments and remain focused on His precepts.” If our mind is stayed […]

Another purpose of the fruit of love is to build our faith. Faithfulness is another fruit of the spirit that we will explore in depth later. For now, know that faith is the opposite of fear, and we already talked about getting rid of fear by using love! Galatians 5:6 (KJV) says, “But faith… worketh […]

Another purpose or function of love is to get rid of fear! Love provides us with security, stability, and salvation. Salvation is not just “fire insurance,” it is deliverance from everything the enemy (Satan) would bring against you! Even in THIS life. Knowing and understanding God’s kind of love will preserve you, give you refuge […]

What purpose does love serve in our lives? What function does it perform? One purpose or function of love in our lives is forgiveness. God forgave us and through His love we must learn to forgive others in our lives in order to experience the fullness of His grace toward us. In the Bible Dictionary […]

The Word of God often speaks of God’s love toward mankind. God’s love is unconditional (Agape) toward us, but His blessings and favor are not. God shows His favor to those who keep His commands, as evidenced in Deuteronomy 7:9 (Amplified), which says, “Therefore know [without any doubt] and understand that the LORD your God, […]

Now that you have an idea about what love is, let’s begin to see what is God’s love. 1 Corinthians 14:1 (Amplified) says, “Eagerly pursue and seek to acquire this love – make it your aim, your great quest.” God’s Word is filled with examples of His love toward us. Even when God made the […]
