"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life," John 3:16 KJV. God sent us a Savior when He projected His Love to Adam's fallen race. That tells us that the most powerful force is Love, for God is Love.

We can never comprehend God's Love for us. We can only accept it and embrace it. God's Love will not let us perish if we accept His Love, but He will give us eternal life.

I remember the rich young ruler. He had recognized that Jesus had something that he wanted, and that was eternal life.

Mark 10:17 KJV, "One day, the rich young ruler came to Jesus running and knelt before Him and asked Him, "Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"

Jesus told him to obey the Ten Commandments. He told Jesus he had observed the Ten Commandments from his youth and wanted to know what he lacked.

In Mark 10:21, KJV says, Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said to him, "One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me." And he went away sorrowful because he had great possession. God projected His Love onto that young man, but he refused to accept it; therefore, God's grace could not have affected his life.

I heard this testimony many years ago about a mother's Love in action.
While the mother was washing clothes in the kitchen downstairs, the house caught fire, and her baby was upstairs. When the mother saw the house on fire, she had no thought of herself; her baby girl was in trouble. The neighbors tried to encourage her to run for her life, but instead of running for her life, she ran into the house as fast as she could, ripped her clothes from her body, wrapped her baby up, and brought her out. The baby was alive without burns, but the mother burnt severely.

She was a pretty woman, but because of the burns, her face was scarred and disfigured for life, and the child grew up to be a beautiful young lady because her mother gave her life for her.

We are living in a world where Love is desperately needed. There is so much pain and sorrow because of the lack of Love. God has made us in such a way that we all desire to love and be loved.

Love should govern the home. If a husband and wife do not solemnly love one another, they cannot trust each other. Remember, Love is the most vital force in this world. People die because of lack of Love in their lives. They grieved to death.

As Christians, we should demonstrate God's Love to this dying world. God has given us His Love to love one another and to love the hurting, the broken in spirit, and those who are in darkness under the power of the enemy. Love can bring them out of darkness to His marvelous light.

God's Love constrained Him to pay the price for our sins at Calvary, and that same Love will constrain us to love those who need to be loved.

Nothing is greater than Love—it brings trust, faith, and pardon. Love has no fear; Love casts out fear.
