Picture Above Expresses How We Are To Respond To Love God Has Given Us
I recently came across a Facebook post that had a Big Beautiful heart, and within it were the words:
"We Are Love." Everyone was accepting of this message, but there are subtleties we need to be made are of.
The demonic forces are working hard to twist scripture we grew up with. The work is very subtle, but extremely effective. Words mean what they say, so we better "Say what we mean!" Here was my comment on same:
I thought, "God is Love"? We can "love one another" - that is, give the love that God has put in our hearts, but I don't believe that we can be love. "Love" is Who God is.
This statement by John does not say that God "has love" though He certainly does have love. God, first and foremost "is Love" - we can measure the entire Bible by these 3 words, "God is Love."
If, we hold to a doctrine that does not stand up to the light of this ONE test, then we misunderstand the doctrine we hold - "For God is Love" and He will not do anything contrary to this.
"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for GOD IS LOVE. 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"
1 John 4:8 (vs.7-10)

Here it is: I finally was able to download the above picture to give you an example of the "subtle" lies that the serpent used to "catch" Eve - see Genesis 3:1 "Now the serpent was more SUBTLE than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
Do you see the subtle differences? See what God told Adam in Genesis 2:16-17 "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat...".
