All You Need is Love

We're back!!! We are finally back in action after two weeks off due to the snowy/icy weather! Love was definitely was in the air, especially since it was the first Vibe after Valentine's Day! So in honor of this day of LOVE, we wanted to talk about what love and God have to do with each other!

First, check out this video we made on the topic of love!

If you randomly asked people, you are probably going to get a lot of different answers! God is the universe! God is you, He's in all of us! These are answers you won't find in the Bible, but even Christians have a hard time figuring out who God is! One answer you might hear a lot is God is Love!

We see that this is true in 1 John 4:7-8, "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."

Chris has Bieber fever!

So He really is love! But how do we know what love is when we hear people use love in so many different ways! I love this video game! I love this car! I love Justin Bieber! (something Chris confessed to us!) Love is a word that we hear all the time! The word is one of the most abused word in our language. And sometimes, we can abuse others in the way we love.

Too often, we stop loving things or people when they stop benefiting us! We practice a selfish love. We no longer love our phone because it is not as nice as the phone someone else has. We no longer want to be friends with someone because there isn't much in common. The world says that things will make you happy. If you have that new phone, you will be happy. Somehow, we are never happy enough though. So the choice is yours, what do you believe, the world or Scripture?

What does Scripture say? We read in 1 John 4:7-8, Love doesn't come from things! Love comes from God. If we look further down in chapter 4, we see one of the best examples of God's love. In verse 10, "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." Even after sin separated us from God, God loved us! So much that He sent His Son as a sacrifice, a way to be with us again! That is how great His love is!

Let that sink in with you, God loves you. truly loves you.
