Because God is Love
The apostle John writes,
“Whoever does not love
does not know God,
because God is love.”
1 John 4:8
We have just come through Easter weekend. The most holy time in the Christian calender. A time when we who believe in Christ Jesus believe that God showed how much He loved us by allowing His one and Only Son to die for our sins and rose again to sit at the right hand of God. As a result we who believe in Christ believe that everything we do should be motivated by love. Love for God, our neighbours and even our enemy.
When I was in my teens before I became a Christian I watched a movie musical called good by Mister Chips. It’s theme tune has resinated with me all the years since. It reads,
In the Morning of My Life
by Leslie Bricusse
In the morning of my life
I will look to the Sunrise
At a moment in my life
When the world is new.
And the Question
I shall ask only God can answer.
Will I be brave and strong and true,
Will I fill the world with love my whole life through?
Will I fill the world with love my whole life through?
In the evening of my life
I will look to the sunset
At a moment in my life
When my life is through.
And the question I shall ask only I can answer
Was I brave and strong and true.
Did I fill the world with love my whole life through?
Did I fill the world with love my whole life through?
Leslie Bricusse
At the end of your life will you be able to honestly stand before God and say you filled the world with love your whole life through?
For...
"Whoever does not love
does not know God,
because God is love."
1 John 4:8
Please think about it.
