Divine Love

 

If our hearts are right, we love the Lord Jesus Christ above all things! And then, we love all those that God loves.  Be as concerned for your neighbor's soul as your own.  Love and faith overcome fear!

​

Matthew 22:37-39

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

​

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 

​

1 John 3:10
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

​

Ephesians 3:17-19

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in [divine] love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

​

​

Matthew 5:43-48

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

​

Luke 6:27-28

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

​

John 15: 9-13

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 

​

From the beginning of creation our heavenly father, Jesus Christ, planned to demonstrate and prove his Divine Love for us.  Out of necessity he created the physical realm in which dying for his creation was possible and the purpose.  

​

Genesis 22:8

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

​

Romans 5:6-9

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Neal Frisby, Divine Love - Eagles Claw CD#1002 5/23/84

"Divine love is not yet where it should be in the church, but it’s coming. The events that are happening around us and the changes that will come by divine providence, as the Lord moves among His people, divine love will flow. It will overcome you. It will possess you. It will hold you. It will rapture you. Glory! Alleluia!"

​

Ephesians 4:1-6

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

 

[When Paul says we must strive to keep the “unity of the Spirit”, he is not telling us to compromise with other doctrines to keep peace, he is telling us to stand for the triunity of the Holy Spirit, One Lord Jesus Christ Almighty God who is the Father, Son, and Spirit.]

 

Ephesians 4:13 & 15
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:  15 But speaking the truth in love, may [we] grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

​

2 Timothy 1:7

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

​

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity [Lord Jesus Christ], I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity [Lord Jesus Christ], I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity [Lord Jesus Christ], it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity [Lord Jesus Christ] suffereth long, and is kind; charity [Lord Jesus Christ] envieth not; vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity [Lord Jesus Christ] never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect [Lord Jesus Christ] is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity [Lord Jesus Christ].

​

Ephesians 4:7-10
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
