"It Was Love at First Sight"

Bible Verse: 1 John 4:19-21

                       John 3:16
Focus: 1 John 4:19

               John 3:16

Do you believe in Love at First Sight?  Speaking from experience, it is easy to say we love God when it does not require anything from us.  When all it cost us is weekly attendance at church on Sunday, and bible study during the week, but what if that love cost you everything.  Would you still love Him? You see, for God, this was a easy thing, because He is love.  The Bible says that God, so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son.  For God, He gave up everything, out of His love for us, so that we could see His example first.  He loved us at first sight, before the foundations of the world, but that love, cost Him, and it will cost us too.  God’s love required an action, and our love does to.  This is why 1 John 4:21 says, he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.  The true test of our love is not just in our relationships, marriages, and fellowship.  The true test of our love is how we treat the people right in front of us, our co-workers, friends, and family.  Though it may be hard, because the actions of others can sometime offend us, just remember, God love us(you) at first sight, even knowing the sin you would commit, the failures and set backs you would have, and even if you choose never to accept Him.

Be Blessed
