God is LOVE and to LOVE is to fulfill the commandments of God. “And this is his commandment, That [WE SHOULD BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER], as he gave us commandment” (1 John 3:23).
“Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore [LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW]” (Romans 13:10).
“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.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt [LOVE]
thy neighbour as thyself.
On these [TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW] and
the prophets” (Matthew 22:37-40).
We can only love if we LOVE GOD for GOD IS LOVE.
“Hatred stirreth up strifes: but [LOVE COVERETH ALL SINS]” (Proverbs 10:12).
“[HE THAT LOVETH NOT KNOWETH NOT GOD; FOR GOD
IS LOVE]” (1 John 4:8).
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is
of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God” (1 John
4:7).
“[IF A MAN SAY, I LOVE GOD, AND HATETH HIS
BROTHER, HE IS A LIAR]: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen,
how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from
him, that [HE WHO LOVETH GOD LOVE HIS BROTHER ALSO]” (1 John 5:20-21).
“In this was manifested the love of God toward
us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might
live through him.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but
that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
[BELOVED, IF GOD SO LOVED US, WE OUGHT ALSO TO
LOVE ONE ANOTHER].
No man hath seen God at any time. [IF WE LOVE
ONE ANOTHER, GOD DWELLETH IN US, AND HIS LOVE IS PERFECTED IN US]” (1 John
4:9-12).
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love
casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made
perfect in love” (1 John 4:18).
“Owe no man any thing, but to love one
another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou
shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou
shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly
comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour:
therefore [LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW]” (Romans 13:8-10)
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the
love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2
Corinthians 13:14).
