‭‭” Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this, the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

By this, we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testified that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he is in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.”(1 John 4:7-21 NKJV).

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭8:17‭-‬18‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ says this :
[17] I love those who love me, and those who seek me early and diligently shall find me. [I Sam. 2:30; Ps. 91:14; John 14:21; James 1:5.] [18] Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation, and right standing with God). [Prov. 3:16; Matt. 6:33.]
[20] I [Wisdom] walk in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), in the midst of the paths of justice,
[18] Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and righteousness. [19] My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver.
[21] That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, That I may fill their treasuries. [22] “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old. [23] I have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.

However, ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:4‭-‬6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ puts it this way:
[4] But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, [5] even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), [6] and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Then ‭‭John‬ ‭14:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ says :
[15] “If you love Me, keep My commandments.

1 John 2:15 warns us :
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John 3:17
But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his heart of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him?
The evidence of love is demonstrated in Giving, Caring, Sharing, and Compassion.
Love gives to others at the expense and sacrifice of self.
-Lust and hate always seek to get and take from others to satisfy themselves. These kind of individuals always seek to satisfy themselves at the expense of others.
People are to be loved and not to be used. Things are to be used and not to be loved.
-Beware of those who love things and use people, and especially beware of those who use people to get the things they love.
+++Let the Word of God be the standard for your life.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
