Why Christianity? Part 4: Love:

 As Born Again believers we walk in love because God is love.  Where there's love there is hope, peace, joy, self-control, patience and no fear.  1 John 3:1: "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him." It is very important to know God.  To walk with God.  To study and meditate on the Word of God day and night.  Focus on the Word of God and speak the Word of God.  1 John 4:16: "So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him."  With God on your side you can overcome everything.  Romans 8:38-39: "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8: "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away." 1 John 5:3: "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome." Obey God at all times! John 15:9-11: "I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!" Make time, spent time with God through His Word and through prayer.  Don't focus on your circumstances but on Jesus alone!!
