NO GREATER LOVE
Sis. Leatha Augustus

No greater love, we love, but we have no greater love than the Lord.
Proverbs 10:12; Hate stirs up strife, but love covers all sin.
We don’t really know how great love is.
John 15:13; Greater love has no man than this, That a man lay down his life for his friends.
This is what Jesus did for us, He gave his life, while we were still in sin!
Was we worth it? No, we weren’t, but Jesus loved us so much that He laid down his life for us.
With all the sin in our life, and all that we had done, Jesus still loved us.
Jesus prayed that the cup would pass from him, but he said not my will, but thine be done.
Jesus did not have to die for us, but he chose to.
Sometimes we look at people, we look at the sin that has them bound and we think how can we possibly love them, but Jesus does, so why can’t we love as Jesus loves?
Love to our own hurt, as Jesus did.
Romans 12:9; Let love be without dissimulation, Abhor that which is evil, cling to that which is good.
Hebrews 13:1; Let brotherly love continue.
John 3:1; Behold what manner of love The Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.
We can be heirs with God, and joint heirs with Jesus, all because He loves us. So let’s receive what he has for us.
He freely gives us all things, because he loves us. There’s no greater love than that of God. He breathes life in us, and gives us life more abundantly. We need to praise God at all times, lift up his Holy name, and hold onto him.
1 Corinthians 13:13; And now abides faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.
We have to believe God, obey him, and love him. We have to learn through the love of God, to obey the voice of God.
John 13:35; By this shall all men know you are my disciples, if you love one to another.
Jesus said it was his commandment that we love one another as he has loved us.
Romans 8:35; Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or perils, or sword?
Nothing can separate us from God’s love, absolutely nothing in this world, powers, principalities, angels, not even death, because there is no greater love than that of our Father.
Whatever you are going through, know that Jesus loves you,
He gave his life you, as Paul said in Ephesians 5:1-2; Be you therefore followers of God, as dear children, and walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given himself for us, and offering, and a sacrifice to God for a sweet, smelling savor.
There truly is No Greater Love
