What do you think about when you hear the word Love? Do you think of romantic Love, or do you think about the Love of God, and your Love for others? God gave us Heaven’s best in Jesus because of how much Love He has for His creation. He sent His Son to die on the cross, so that we might live, and this was out of the Love He has for us. Love is the only thing that can change the unchangeable. Love strengthens. Love gives hope to the hopeless. Love renews. Love refreshes. Love is the most powerful force in the universe, because God is Love. It does not say He has Love; it says He is Love. 1 John 4:8 says, Whoever does not Love does not know God, because God is Love. The Bible is God’s Love story to humanity; it shows how in the Garden of Eden we broke our fellowship with Him; and the rest of the Bible is God trying to bring us back into relationship with Himself. He did this by offering His own Son out of Love as the perfect sacrifice, so we can be in relationship with our Father again.
Romans 8:35-39, says, “Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who Loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the Love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Look at Jesus’ arms outstretched on the cross saying, “I Love you this much, that I would rather die than live without you.” Jesus is God in human form and God is Omniscient, meaning He sees and knows everything, so that would also mean Jesus knows everything too. While He was being beaten, ridiculed, and whipped to where bone and flesh were being ripped

    The example of a hazelnut presented by Julian fully explains the occasionally confusing concept of God’s love, as it lists three qualities that everything in creation has. Julian explains these qualities as “God made it, God loves it, and God keeps it.” (p. 292). These simple qualities allow one to easily understand that just like the hazelnut God cares about us, loves us, and will keep us from harm. The author also shows another example of God’s love in simple terms, saying that “He is our clothing that for love wraps and winds us, envelopes and embraces us, and all becloses us, hangs about us for tender love so that he may never leave us” (292). In these lines, Julian shows us once again how much God loves us, without needing to resort to vague terms and confusing ideas. Instead, the author shows us a pleasant and uncomplicated image of God, showing how “he is to us all thing that is good and comfortable” (292). Julian’s examples show us that even though God’s love seems incomprehensible, anyone can understand it when using simple…

    Some may argue that the greatest love story to date is Romeo and Juliet: the love; the passion; the unlikely pair. Although Romeo and Juliet may be a great tale of two unlikely lovers, it could never compare to Our Christian Story. However, throughout these two renowned stories, elements of love and sacrifice can be demonstrated frequently. Out of love, we are able to make sacrifices for those whom which we hold dear to our hearts; when humanity betrayed God by consuming fruit from the forbidden tree, He displayed an unconditional love by sending His only son, Jesus Christ, to absolve us from sin. This represents a vital bond of love that has, over time, remained between God and humanity, but to experience this bliss we must freely embrace…

    This term determines God hidden in suffering and humiliation of the cross of Christ. Luther used the phrase Deus crucifixus, which means “a crucified God,” as he speaks of the manner in which God shares in the sufferings of Christ. It was the late twentieth century that it was the “new orthodoxy” to speak of a suffering God. Traditional theology declared that Jesus Christ was indeed God incarnate. Therefore it seems to follow that God suffered in Christ. Christ suffered in his human nature, not divine. Thus God did not experience human suffering and remained unaffected by the aspect of the world (McGrath 221). God came to earth to put himself on the hook of human suffering. God experienced the greatest depths of pain. On the cross he went beyond even the worst human suffering and experienced cosmic rejection and pain that exceeds ours as infinitely as his knowledge and power exceeds ours (Keller 30). The Bible says that Jesus had to pay for our sins so that someday he can end evil and suffering without having to end…

    The definition of love states that it is a deep, tender ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person such as that arising from, kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness. How can one four-letter word hold so many characteristics and have so many dimensions to it? When you think of love, what do you think about? A music producer would have the adoration of music. An NBA player would have the passion and fondness of basketball. A newly married husband would have the love and tenderness of his new wife. What do I believe in? I believe in love.…

    The very story of Jesus has turned into one of God in flesh dying for the sins of all people that believe in him up until the second coming. This proves problematic for the issue of control however, because it offers up an alternative to simply living a virtuous life by validating sin with a seemingly insensible amount of validation. Furthermore, simply letting nature take over the way that a human lives their life is only a small glimpse into the much more dominant beliefs that, regardless of the way in which people believe religiously, there is still a level of morality and respect for the human life that is engrained in all humans from the moment they are able to perceive such things. Even if people don’t believe that someone died for their sins, it is not necessary to move one step further by saying that they are inherently flawed. A famous philosopher once brought up a provocative point in its infancy stages of a book, wondering if Gandhi was in hell or heaven. This leaves a very sour taste in many modern peoples’ mouths, seeing as how Gandhi was seen as the embodiment of a relatively peaceful resistance movement in India and the epitome of what a saint should be. As Freud points out in his Thoughts on War and Death, “We have seen that…

    If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not loved, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not loved, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not loved, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it…
