Bible Question: what does it really mean to love? related to romans 8vs 28 |
Bible Answer: But whoever KEEPS HIS WORD, in him truly the love of God is perfected (1 John 2:5a English Standard Version (ESV)). Compare to Daniel 9:4. I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession, saying, "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS" (Daniel 9:4 ESV). 1Jo 2:15 ESV Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1Jo 3:17 ESV But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? 1Jo 3:18 ESV Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. 1 John 5:3 NIV This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, Grace to you, Kalos |
