God’s Love

Micah 6:8 (NKJV)  He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

John 15:12 (NKJV) This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

1 Corinthians 13:13 (NKJV) And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

John 3:16 (NKJV) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

1 John 3:16 (NKJV) By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

An Eastern mystic was quoted as saying: "Love one another; be kind to one another. And if you can't do either, at least do no harm." Simple. Of course. If it were complex, we could hide behind its complexity and claim inability to live that way because we "just don't understand." But because it's so simple and clear, we ignore it.   Richard A.
