God is love…

Love= agape- Commitment independent of emotion.

Love= agape- Commitment to seek what is best

for the other person, regardless of whether they

deserve it.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.

Dear friends- loved ones

Religion= do it because I said so!

The Faith= I love youAnd want what's best for you

Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because

God is love.

This is how God showed his love among us:

He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

Love is not wordsBut actions

Serving Others-centered

Sacrificing

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us

and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Undeserved…And it cost everything

What is deserved is never the issue

What is needed…that's the issue

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought

to love one another.

"I love him when he's loveable""I love her when she acts right"

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought

to love one another.
