Love is your nature

“… the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”                Romans 5:5(KJV) 

Our opening scripture shows us that everyone who has received the Holy Spirit has the capacity to love. So you cannot be a Christian and not have love because love has already been shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Spirit that is in you. Also the Bible says in 1 John 4:8 that “… God is love.” So if God is love and we are born of God it therefore means that we are born of love. This means that love is in you because love is the nature of God, and if you have eternal life which is the nature of God that means you have love inside of you.

Now that you have this understanding that you have the love of God in you, 1 John 4:17 says, “But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?” So we see that another proof of love is sharing and caring. This means that wherever there is love, there will be sharing and caring.

1 John 3:18 says, “My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” This shows us that the proof of love is action. So if there is no act of love shown; in terms of people sacrificing for one another or people sharing and caring for one another, it means that there is no love.

In Galatians 5:6b the Bible lets us know that faith works by love. So the selfless love walk will release your faith, and you can never love beyond your level of faith, so the measure of generosity you express is the determinant of the measure of faith you possess.

In the Name of Jesus I declare that I am full of love because the love of God has been shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost that is in me. I share with others and I care for others because I have the nature of God and the Spirit of love at work in me.
