| ‘And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. |
| (Mark 12:30) |
God is love! His power and the very atmosphere of His presence is His divine love. All of Heaven was created through His divine love. Everything about God Almighty and the Lord Jesus Christ is one-hundred percent divine love! 1 John 4:16 states, “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.” When you abide and live in His love, you are then in His very presence and power! You can always recognize if a person really knows who God Almighty really is, by what they say about Him. In Luke 6:45 Jesus teaches, “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” When people speak of His abundant divine love you know they have been in His presence and know Him.
If a person truly went to Heaven they would tell you that the divine love of God is the very atmosphere and presence of Heaven. Once you have truly tasted His love it then becomes a life long hunger to be in His presence. The psalmist writes, “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11). When you spend time in prayer and fellowship with God Almighty and the Lord Jesus Christ, the more you will know His divine love and desires for your life
| . . . to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. |
| (Ephesians 3:19-20) |
| Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. “He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. |
| (John 14:23-24) |
| As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. |
| (John 15:9-10) |
| 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. |
| (1 John 4:18) |
