You have probably already heard it, the verse that everyone loves to say when it comes to the Bible, John 3.16, for God so loved the world... So lets take a look at the word "love" and what it therefore implies. We especially want to look at this in our country because the political excuse for all of the things that are being approved that go against the Word of God and foundation of this nation is that "God is love."
Well, lets go deeper into that verse. "For God so loved that world that he... GAVE!" Now, as you know, giving is not some passive thing done just by sitting on a couch all day. Giving requires an action, against human nature even, for the greater good of all involved. Therefore, saying that you love God, yet doing absolutely nothing, helping no one, giving in no possible way, is NOT love!
God GAVE his ONLY Son! The Son of God was given for us so that we could be forgiven from our sins. Therefore, it takes giving, especially our time, in showing that the Love of God is a verb and is to be returned in the same way received. Love is not passive, it is a verb. Have you given the Love of God?
