God Is . . .

"...for God is love." I John 4:8

God is love.
What did John mean when he wrote this Holy Spirit inspired statement?

God is light.
This is also a statement by John. Light signifies moral goodness and purity and shows itself vividly against the dark backdrop of immorality. To say God is light is to say His purity permeates all that He is, says and does.

In the same way, God is love, and His love permeates all that He is, says and does.

Here is comfort, for you.
An all powerful God, sovereign God, has declared His love for you.
He does not change. Jesus Christ, the living Word, is God's expression of love for you. He loved you and gave Himself up for you. Galatians 2:20

How practical is this? When life throws you a curve, the bottom drops out, you lose your job, or a loved one, your health fails, God is love!

He is in control and His love is constant.

By faith, based on God's declaration of love for you in Jesus Christ, say, And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

Can you do that?
If you think not, ask God to give you a deeper knowledge and trust in Him and the love He has for you. The Spirit of God will enable you to do this.
