Love of God What exactly is the love of God? Some think godly love is a warm, fuzzy feeling. Others think it’s doing good to others. What the Bible says may surprise you! by Rick Avent What is the love of God? Love starts with God. The love of God was demonstrated by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to make it possible for us to be forgiven and to become children of God. As children of God, we will also be growing in the love of God—loving as God loves. The Bible emphasizes the central role that love plays in our lives. One of the descriptions of God Himself is that “God is love” (1 John 4:16). In other places we are urged to become perfected in the love of God (1 John 2:5). https://lifehopeandtruth.com/god/who-is-god/god-is-love/ How much does God love me? Consider these Bible verses where God tells us how much He loves us! “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” (John 3:16). “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:1). “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved” (Ephesians 2:4-5). “Yet in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:39). Agape love The English word *love* in these verses is translated from the Greek word *agape*. *Vine’s* definition includes: “Christian love has God for its primary object, and expresses itself first of all in implicit obedience to His commandments, John 14:15, 21, 23; 15:10; 1 John 2:5; 5:3; 2 John 6. Self-will, that is, self-pleasing, is the negation of love to God. “Christian love, whether exercised toward the brethren, or toward men generally, is not an impulse from the feelings, it does not always run with the natural inclinations, nor does it spend itself only upon those for whom some affinity is discovered. Love seeks the welfare of all, Rom. 15:2, and works no ill to any, 13:8-10; love seeks opportunity to do good to ‘all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith,’ Gal. 6:10” (*Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words,* 1985, p. 382). For more about *agape* love, see “Stairway to Godly Love.” https://lifehopeandtruth.com/god/blog/stairway-to-agape/ Learning to love Do you know how to love like God  loves? How do you achieve this kind of godly love? Is it even possible to love like God does? A term frequently used to describe the highest form of unselfish love is altruistic love. Is altruistic love godly love? What is the source of godly love? Love is a uniquely human trait that cannot be explained away as the end result of an evolutionary process. This trait comes from the Creator God. Genesis 1:26 tells us God’s words at the creation of humanity: “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.” Since human beings have the capability to love, and since we are made in the likeness of God, He must be the source of love. Jesus Christ, who came and dwelt on earth as God in the flesh, exemplified the love of God for us.Jesus Christ, who came and dwelt on earth as God in the flesh, exemplified the love of God for us. On the evening before Jesus faced a brutal scourging and death by crucifixion, He reflected on the ultimate in love from a human perspective: “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” (John 15:13). But notice that God’s love goes even further. Early in Jesus’ ministry, He taught that loving your friends was not enough. The depth of God’s love “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?” (Matthew 5:43-46). *Jesus practiced what He preached!* Since Jesus led a sinless life, He did not have to die. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). He could have rightly reclaimed eternal life. But rather, Jesus’ love was displayed as He stood in the gap and said to His Father that He would take the death penalty for the sins of His friends—and, more significantly, for the sins of His enemies. This attitude is an essential part of understanding the love of God. Even in the agony of the crucifixion, Jesus Christ spoke this way of His enemies who were killing Him: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do” (Luke 23:34). Do you have this kind of godly love? It is one of the hardest things to have—but the rewards are worth it! Yet there is even more to your development of godly love. Is altruistic love enough? Altruistic love is certainly a very high form of human love—giving of yourself for the benefit of others. And what higher form of altruistic love could there be than giving your life? Consider recipients of the Medal of Honor. It’s the highest award that an American soldier can receive. Since its inception during the Civil War, almost 3,500 have been presented. Since 1941 over half have been presented posthumously. These soldiers made the ultimate physical sacrifice—they laid down their lives for others. Some simply call this sacrifice an act of valor, but many see it as love—love of country, love of comrades in arms, love of friends. While the Medal of Honor provides vivid examples, there are countless untold examples of people who have exhibited such altruistic love—even to death. Did making such altruistic sacrifices prove that these people all had godly love? Not necessarily. Paul states that you can sacrifice your life for others and not have the love of God: “And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and *though I give my body to be burned, but have not love,* it profits me nothing” (1 Corinthians 13:3, emphasis added throughout). Yes, the willingness to make sacrifices for others, even to the extent of death, is a necessary but not sufficient condition for having the love of God. Even more is required (Romans 5:7). But how, you might ask, is that even possible? How do you develop the love of God? Few understand the true plan of God. That plan is explained in other sections of this website (see “How to Become a Child of God”). https://lifehopeandtruth.com/god/who-is-god/how-to-become-a-child-of-god/ The plan begins to unfold with the offer of eternal life to all mankind. “In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him” (1 John 4:9). The love of God is expressed through His offer of a chance to join His spiritual family and live forever. So, what does God want us to do? He wants us to follow in the steps of Jesus to develop the same kind of love. As the apostle Paul wrote: “Now may the Lord *direct your hearts into the love of God* and into the patience of Christ” (2 Thessalonians 3:5). How does this transformation happen? Your first step should be to prove that there is a God (see “Is There a God?”), then prove that the Bible is the Word of God (see *Is the Bible True?*) and then study that Word and do it (see *God’s 10 Commandments*). “But whoever *keeps His word*, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him” (1 John 2:5). https://lifehopeandtruth.com/god/is-there-a-god/ https://info.lifehopeandtruth.com/is-the-bible-true https://info.lifehopeandtruth.com/gods-10-commandments God’s love is not just expressed by the fact that Jesus was willing to die for mankind, but that He lives for us as well. Godly love is expressed in how we *live* like Him. Greatest commandment When the Jewish leaders asked Jesus what the greatest commandment was, He replied, “‘You shall *love the LORD your God* with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall *love your neighbor as yourself*.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 22:37-40). God’s commandments describe love in action: love toward God and love toward our fellow man.In answering this way, Jesus summarized the whole emphasis of the 10 Commandments. The first four describe ways we actively express our love toward God—the way we live—when our heart, mind and soul are focused in love toward Him. The last six describe ways in which our love toward our fellow man is expressed, both in mind and in action. God’s commandments describe love in action: love toward God and love toward our fellow man. They help us understand and live the love of God (Romans 13:8-10). As I have loved you As surprising as it may seem, God expects us to become perfected by having the same love as Jesus has—a love so strong that, yes, He laid down His life not just for His friends, not just for His followers who came after, but for all mankind. Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:34-35). And more than that, He kept the commands of God throughout His life—perfectly! What we must do is seek to grow in the same kind of love! This is the goal we must pursue in this life. However, in this life we will never become perfect in love as God is. But God wants to see that this is what we want. The fruit of the spirit is love And He offers us the help that is necessary to grow in God’s love. The conversion process includes repentance, baptism and receiving the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). Without God’s Spirit we can’t please God or become His children (Romans 8:8-9, 16; see “How to Please God”). https://lifehopeandtruth.com/god/who-is-god/how-to-please-god/ The apostle Paul showed the connection between having the Holy Spirit and the love of God: “But the fruit of the spirit is love” (Galatians 5:22). “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Romans 5:5). Through the Holy Spirit God puts His loving laws in our hearts and writes them in our minds (Hebrews 10:16). The path to godly love requires a commitment from us to both *know* and *follow* the Word of God. “For this *is the love of God, that we keep His commandments*. And His commandments are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3). Do we know the Word of God, or only think we do? This world rewards valiant acts of love and sacrifice with medals, awards, honors and even monuments. God offers something much more. Do you know what that is? Take advantage of this website to learn what the Bible really says about both the Word of God, the love of God and His plan for you. *It’s a real eye-opener!*

10 Things You Should Know about the Love of God *****1. God’s love is incomprehensible.***** No human mind can comprehend God. We cannot *define* God. We cannot provide a comprehensive account of who he is. He "dwells in unapproachable light" (1 Tim. 6:16). If God is incomprehensible, then so is his love. While we may and must speak truthfully about his love, we can never fathom it, because it is *divine* love, as different from our love as his being is different from our being. *If God is incomprehensible, then so is his love.* 2. God’s love can be known. We cannot define God in the sense of delimiting exhaustively who he is, but we can nonetheless describe him truthfully. We can do so because he has made himself known to us in his Word and he opens our eyes to that Word by his Spirit. How is that possible, given the divine difference? It is possible because God makes himself known to us in creaturely reality. He takes up the things he has made and uses them to describe himself to us. Thus he is a lion, a rock, fire, even moth and dry rot (look it up!). 3. God is known by analogy. When God uses created things like lions to speak about himself in the Bible he is speaking analogically. This means that the things he uses to describe himself are neither identical with him, nor utterly different from him. He is a rock, for example, not because he is made of stone. When he says "rock" of himself, we are not to map all the rockiness of a rock onto him point-for-point. But nor are we to think that he is he entirely unrocky, discontinuous in every way with rocks. When he says that he is a rock he means some of what we mean when we say that a rock is a rock: he is not made of stone, but he is solid and reliable. How is it possible for created things to image God for us like this? It is possible precisely because he created them. It is as if his fingerprints are left on the things he has made, so that each of them contains a pale reflection of some of his divine attributes. Our fallen minds cannot piece together a picture of God from what he has made—indeed we suppress his natural revelation—but in his inspired Word he himself can use those things to describe himself, and then he can illuminate our minds to understand and believe those descriptions. This all applies to God’s love: when we read "God is love" we know something of what love is from what he has made, but his love is never to be identified point-for-point with any created love that we already know. 4. The pictures of God in the Bible regulate themselves, including pictures of his love. A pressing question then arises: how do we know which aspects of each picture that God draws of himself we are to apply to him and which we are not? How do we know that we are not to infer that his love might ebb and flow as human love can, even that it might fail? This may seem obvious to us, but that is only because we have to some extent already learned how to read the Bible properly. What, when we stop and think about it, is the *reason* that we do not infer this? The reason is that other ways in which God describes himself prevent us doing so—for example, his repeated self-description as a covenant-keeping God who makes solemn oaths to his people. The Bible is a self-interpreting book: what it says in one part shows us how we are to read another part. Its many pictures of God form a self-interpreting mesh of images. And that includes its pictures of his love. 5. We quickly leap to the wrong conclusions about God’s love. We are often less alert to the ways in which the love language is to be interpreted in the light of God’s other descriptions of himself. This comes out very clearly when someone says something like, "If I were a God of love then I . . . " The reasoning that follows is usually untethered from God’s wider portrayal of himself in Scripture. When we do this God becomes in effect just a massive projection of our own selves, a shadow cast onto a screen behind us with all of our own features magnified and exaggerated. Whereas it may be immediately obvious to us that God will not decide to stop loving us, for some reason it is less obvious that his love is different from our love in other ways, such as in being self-sufficient, sovereign, unchanging, all-knowing, just, and passionless (yes, rightly understood). 6. God’s love must be "read" within the rest of what Scripture teaches about his divine attributes. We are not free to pick up the ball of "God is love" and run with it wherever we will. The statement must remain tethered within its immediate context in 1 John 4, within the broader context of John’s writings, and within the ultimate context of God’s entire self-description in Scripture. The local context immediately reminds us (in verse 10) of the connection between love and propitiation, which requires that we understand God’s love alongside his justice and wrath. The ultimate context of Scripture will bring alongside his love all of the other attributes of God. Together they will form a self-regulating mesh of meaning. 7. God’s love must be "read" especially within what Scripture teaches about his triune life. Further, the wider context in John’s writings will repeatedly connect the love of God to his triune life. John delights to write of the Father’s love for the Son and the Son’s love for the Father. He even records the Lord Jesus saying that the Father loves him because he lays down his life (John 10:17). Love is not unique for being a trinitarian attribute: all the attributes of God are the attributes of the one God who is three persons, but we must never miss the trinitarian character of the love of God. 8. Reading God’s love in its wider context keeps us from error. Love is perhaps the most obvious attribute for consideration from a trinitarian perspective, but we more readily observe that than grasp the theological consequences of it. What a difference it will make if, for example, we recall that the love of God is rooted in the Father’s love for his Son and his resulting will to see the Son honored (John 5:22–23). Then we will not infer from "God is love" that he easily overlooks sin, because we will grasp that Christ-dishonoring sin is itself an offense against the very heart of God’s love. From God’s love for his Son will follow his wrath against sinners. It is only when we read the love of God like this that we will be prevented from reaching false conclusions from it by making our own natural minds the context in which we interpret it. His Love Endures Forever https://www.crossway.org/books/his-love-endures-forever-tpb/ *Garry J. Williams* https://www.crossway.org/authors/garry-j-williams/ Revealing how we often confuse God’s love with human love, this book looks to the Bible to explain *how* and *what* God loves—helping readers understand that God is fundamentally a God of love. 9. Understanding the different *manner* of God’s love helps us to see its immeasurable *magnitude*. The consideration of the love of God in its proper biblical contexts is not an exercise in abstraction of interest only to obscurantist systematic theologians. It may be easier just to think "God is love" and to fill that statement with whatever our human minds suggest. Certainly it requires less mental effort just to let our own minds generate our theology, rather than to subject them to the disciplined study of God’s self-revelation in Scripture. But at the end of the day a god who is little more than a projection of my own mind can never satisfy me. Worshipping such a god would be like being locked in a room with only myself as company, a kind of theological solitary confinement, a terrible narcissistic solipsism, and ultimately a form of self-worshipping idolatry akin in some ways to hell itself. There is no satisfaction on this road, only bitter disappointment. It is meditation on the authoritative self-revelation of God in its fullness that will bring rest for our souls, the rest of finding in him one who infinitely exceeds our own puny finitude, one whose delights can never be exhausted. 10. God’s love truly perceived always draws out from us a response of love. The contemplation of divine love in its biblical fullness is never something that ends in itself. Our rest in God never finds its fulfillment in ourselves but always leads us out of ourselves toward him and toward others. The love of God is to be lived as well as learned. The love of God *for* us begets love *in* us for him and for others. The true Word of love that we have in the Bible, if we have it truly, will abide in us, and will not return empty as, by miracles of grace, we make glancing reflections of the immeasurable love of God visible to others in our own lives.

The Keys to a Successful Marriage I am married for almost 4 years now, may be you are now in 10, or 20 years of marriage. But here I am writing an article about keys to a successful Marriage. I am married to a Pentecostal pastor, we don't have any properties before nor much money. We started into nothing but thru our Lord Jesus Christ here we are our relationships keeps stronger. I am so happy that I am helping others through prayers and counselling for them to make their relationships stronger than the others. When you're caught up in the excitement of your wedding, it can be hard to imagine that you and your spouse might not live happily ever after. But sharing your life with another person can be a challenge, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience with relationships. Marriages take work, commitment, and love, but they also need respect to be truly happy and successful. A marriage based on love and respect doesn't just happen. Both spouses have to do their part. Below are some important keys to work on each day to make your marriage successful. *****Keep JESUS as the center of your Relationships***** This is the first and foremost advice we ever have. Put God as the foundations of your relationships. *****Communicate clearly and often***** Talking with your spouse is one of the best ways to keep your marriage healthy and successful. Be honest about what you're feeling, but be kind and respectful when you communicate. Part of good communication is being a good listener and taking the time to understand what it is your spouse wants and needs from you. Keep the lines of communication open by talking often, and not just about things like bills and the kids. *****Share your thoughts and feelings.***** Tell your spouse that you're thankful for having him or her in your life Appreciate each other, your relationship, your family, and your lives together. Show gratitude when your partner cooks dinner, helps the kids with their homework, or does the grocery shopping. It may help to take a few minutes each evening to tell each other at least one thing you appreciated that day. *****Make time for you two as a couple***** With work and family responsibilities, it can be easy to lose the romance factor. Plan special dates, either to go out or just stay at home. If you have children, send them on a play date while you relax, talk, and enjoy each other's company. *****Plan for some personal time***** Alone time is just as important as couple time. Everyone needs time to recharge, think, and enjoy personal interests. That time is often lost when you're married, especially if you have kids. Go out with friends, take a class, or do volunteer work, whatever you find enriching. When you're back together with your spouse, you'll appreciate each other even more. *****Understand that it's OK to disagree***** You won't agree on everything, but it is important to be fair and respectful during disagreements. Listen to your spouse's point of view. Try not to get angry and don't let yourself become too frustrated. Walk away and calm down if you need to, then discuss the problem again when you're both in a better frame of mind. Compromise on problems so that you both give a little. *****Build trust***** Marriage therapist and researcher John Gottman, Ph.D., has found that criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling are serious threats to a marriage. The more a couple engages in these destructive activities, the more likely they are to divorce. His decades of research and of working with couples have shown that spouses who stay together know how to fight without being hostile and to take responsibility for their actions. They are also more likely to respond quickly to each other’s wishes to make up after fights and repair the relationship. *****Learn to forgive***** Everyone makes mistakes. Your spouse may hurt your feelings or do something that upsets you, and that may make you angry, even furious. But it's important to deal with your feelings, let them go, and move on. don’t keep bringing up the past. Remember to remain committed to your spouse, your family, and the life that you have built together. Support each other emotionally and in everyday ways. You, your spouse, and your relationship may grow and change with time, but these ideas can help your marriage stay successful over the years.

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the LORD, knowing that in the LORD your labor is not in vain.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen.

Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What is God’s Message for Me Today? Sinabi ng Diyos ang mga bagay na tulad nito: "Ikaw ang aking minamahal." "Mahal kita ng walang hanggang pag-ibig." "Binuo kita sa sinapupunan ng iyong ina." "Kung hahanapin mo ang aking mukha, mahahanap mo ako." Atbp **God’s message for me today is always one of love, acceptance, and affirmation.** We see this vividly in the story of the prodigal son and his father. We see that all the father had to say about his son was, “Welcome home son, here’s my robe, here is my signet ring, now let me feed you, and now let us feast and celebrate your return.” There’s no chastising, no correction, no instruction in righteousness in this very precious moment. The father simply says, “Welcome home, let’s eat!” And that is God’s message for me today. Isn’t that a great picture? Doesn’t that show plainly what God’s message for me today looks like? Kung sakaling maisip mong naiisip mo na ang Ama ay galit o sumabay sa iyo, mangyaring alalahanin ang iyong sarili sa talinghagang iyon, at pati na rin ang tanawin sa pagitan ni Jesus, ng mga Pariseo, at ng babaeng nahuli sa pangangalunya. Naaalala mo ba ang kwentong iyon? Ang kabuuan nito ay ang mga taong napaka-relihiyoso (ngunit mapagkunwari!) Na mga kalalakihan na nahuli ang babaeng ito sa mismong gawain ng pangangalunya. Ngayon ang kwentong ito ay hindi sa anumang paraan nabibigyang katwiran ang maling pag-uugali ng babaeng ito! Hindi pwede! Ang nakatayo sa maling pag-uugali ay kapwa ang biyaya at kapangyarihan ng salita ni Hesus sa babaeng ito. Ito ang mensahe ng Diyos para sa akin at sa iyo ngayon, pati na rin. Naranasan mo na ba na ang kanyang salita sa kanya ay isang makahulang salita ng kapangyarihan? Kita mo, nang inutusan ni Jesus ang babae na umalis at huwag nang magkasala pa, talagang idinideklara niyang kapwa malaya sa kasalanan at hindi na makakasala pa. Ang mensahe ng Diyos para sa akin ngayon, at ang mensahe sa kanya noong araw na hindi malilimutan noong 2000 taon na ang nakalilipas ay, "Pinalaya kita, at malaya ka na pumili ng tamang paraan upang mabuhay." ****Pag-ibig, pagtanggap, at pagpapatibay**** Ang mensahe ng Diyos para sa akin ngayon - ng kapatawaran at pagpapalakas - ay parehong mapagpalaya at responsibilidad na humimok. Nakikita mo ba ito Nakikita mo ba na ang pagiging malaya mula sa kasalanan ay nangangahulugang malaya na ako ngayon upang pumili ng tamang paraan? Na nakakasama ko ang aking pang-araw-araw na kalendaryo sa positibo, nakapagpapatibay, maawain na mga kilos sa ngalan ng iba at sa aking sarili? Minsan isinasaalang-alang natin ang kalayaan, hindi ba? Ang mensahe ng Diyos para sa akin ngayon ay malaya akong sundin si Hesus, na malaya akong makipagtulungan sa Kanya sa kahanga-hangang proyekto na inilunsad Niya dito sa Lupa, na tinatawag nating Dakilang Komisyon. Matatagpuan ito sa Mateo 28. Kung hindi mo pa nabasa ang daanan na ito sandali, narito ito: *****At lumapit si Jesus at nagsalita sa kanila, na sinasabi, “Lahat ng kapangyarihan ay ibinigay sa Akin sa langit at sa lupa. Humayo nga kayo at gumawa ng mga alagad sa lahat ng mga bansa, na bininyagan sila sa pangalan ng Ama at ng Anak at ng Banal na Espiritu, na tinuturo sa kanila na sundin ang lahat ng mga bagay na iniutos ko sa inyo. at narito, ako ay laging kasama mo, hanggang sa katapusan ng panahon. ” Amen. (Mat. 28: 18-20)***** Ang mensahe ng Diyos para sa akin ngayon ay ako ay napalaya upang ako ay makatrabaho kasama ng Diyos sa larangang ito na tinatawag na Earth. Ang mensahe ng Diyos para sa akin ngayon ay nagagawa kong makipagtulungan sa Ama, sa Anak, at sa Banal na Espiritu, kasama ang pamilya ng Diyos, ang Iglesya, at makamit ang kamangha-manghang kagiliw-giliw at kamangha-manghang gawaing ito sa pagdidisiplina sa mga bansa. Kaya't ang mensahe ng Diyos para sa akin ngayon ay nagsisimula sa katotohanang malaya ako kay Cristo, sa pamamagitan ng Dugo at Krus ni Hesus. At ngayon, na napalaya, mailalahok ko ang aking sarili sa lahat ng uri ng mga kamangha-manghang mga relasyon, proyekto, at pakikipagsapalaran sa pagtupad sa layunin ng Diyos para sa aking buhay. Ang mensahe ng Diyos para sa akin ngayon ay isa akong kontribyutor at isang mahalagang manlalaro sa lahat ng ginagawa Niya sa Lupa. *****I collaborate with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit***** Hindi ko alam ang tungkol sa iyo, ngunit para sa amin dito sa GOD TV ito ang pinaka kapanapanabik na bagay sa lahat: nakikipagtulungan kami sa Diyos. Ang mensahe ng Diyos para sa akin ngayon ay upang hanapin ang kanyang mukha, makipag-hang out kasama ang aking tribo (ang simbahan), at pagkatapos ay lumabas sa mga lansangan at ideklara ang Kanyang pagmamahal, kagalakan, kapayapaan, at pagtanggap. Kaya ano ang sinasabi sa iyo ng Diyos ngayon? Naririnig mo ba ang parehong bagay na naririnig ko? Ang mensahe ng Diyos para sa akin ngayon ay: "Ito ang paraan, lumakad dito." "Inilagay ko ang aking mga anghel upang bantayan ang iyong landas." "Ikaw ay pinagkalooban ng kapangyarihan mula sa taas para sa gawain at misyon kung saan kita tinawag at inaanyayahan."

What were God's first words? Taking all of Genesis 1:2 as background information (When in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, the earth being untamed and shapeless, God said, Let there be light!).
