Love

God is Love, there is no Love apart from God.

That is why Hell is the absence of God,

Because, it is therefore, the absence of Love.

God is inherently Love and God is the Spirit;

The only Eternal being; self-existent; Creator of all the exists.

The Spirit who created natural life and the giver of Eternal LIFE.

Eternal LIFE is a LIFE consumed by God who is Love.

Eternal LIFE is being ONE with God who is Love;

ONE as the Father and the Son are ONE.

Being ONE with God is the ultimate filling of the Spirit.

It is the state of being where there is nothing but the Spirit in us.

We still have our God given personality

But we are completely saturated with God who is Love.

Today, we have Love to the extent that God, the Spirit lives in us.

God's goal for each of us is that we become ONE with Him.

Eternal LIFE is knowing God completely,

It is being ONE with Him.

In Heaven everything is Perfect or it would not be Heaven.

Without Holiness no one will see God. (Hebrews 12:14)

Without God living in them no one can be Holy.

How important is Love to God?

It is critical as demonstrated by the admonition of Christ Jesus

To the Church in Ephesus.

They were a people saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit;

They had done all the works Christians are to do

But were found lacking.

They had lost their first love

And this was critically important to Christ Jesus.

In the Parable of the Ten Virgins Oil was critical.

Oil is a type of the Holy Spirit, who is God, who is Love.

Christ Jesus said that if we Love Him we will keep His commands.

(John 14:15)

I encourage you to read the words of Christ Jesus

And refresh your mind and spirit as to what they are.

They can only be accomplished by the Spirit of Christ living in us.

That is why it is Christ in us our hope of Glory. (Colossians 1:27)

We have no other hope.

Christ Jesus told His disciples

That is was very hard for a rich man to go to Heaven;

As hard as it was for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.

They asked, who then can be saved?

Christ Jesus said that with man it was impossible

But with God all things are possible.

He was saying, that without Christ living in you,

Salvation is impossible.

God seeks those who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. Why?

Because it is thorough worship that we become ONE with Him

And each other.

We become immersed in God who is the Spirit, who is Love.

God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship in Spirit and in Truth.

(John 4:24 NIV)

Worship is an end in itself, not simply a prelude to a sermon.

True worship produces prophecy and sermons.

It is the generator; it is the Spirit of Christ, released!

It releases Christ to fight in the heavenly realms

Where the real battle takes place.

Love Is The “Glue” Of Unity

True worship and praise to God creates “Oneness” with God

As nothing else can,

And “Oneness” with God creates unity in the Body of Christ.

In Heaven, all are ONE,

And therefore they praise and worship the Living God.

On earth, when we worship in Spirit and in Truth, God makes us ONE,

By the power of His Spirit;

We are transformed by the words of our mouth, by Christ in us,

And He brings the unity in His Body He desires.

Unity in worship commands the blessing of God.

Behold how good and how pleasant it is

For brethren to dwell together in unity!

It is like the precious ointment poured on the head,

That ran down on the beard,

Even the beard of Aaron [the first high priest],

That came down upon the collar and skirts of his garments

[Consecrating the whole body]; [Exodus 30:25,30]

Like the dew of [lofty] Mount Hermon,

And the dew that comes on the Hills of Zion;

For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,

Even LIFE forevermore [upon the high and lowly].

(Psalm 133, Amplified)

To get a better understanding of the significance of worship

I encourage you to read my little book: Worship In Spirit And In Truth.

You can do this at no cost by going to my blog, callledbychristtobeone.blogspot.com

The Bride Of Christ understands worship and Love for God.

King David was a man after God's own heart

And represents the heart of The Bride Of Christ:

One thing I ask, this is what I seek

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord

All the days of my life

To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord

And seek Him in His temple. (Psalm 27:4)

Whom have I in Heaven but you?

And being with you, I desire nothing on earth. (Psalm 73:25)

I said to the Lord, 'You are my Lord;

Apart from you I have no good thing.' (Psalm 16:2)

This is Love for God, who is Love; nothing less will do!

I encourage you to gather with those who understand Love

And worship.

Let us stir ourselves up into all that God has for us in this last hour,

In the here and now; maintaining our first love,

While it is still called, Today.

True worship renders the rulers, the authorities,

The powers of this dark world

And the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms, Impotent,

By bringing the Presence of God who lives in the praises of His people,

Who is Love. Hallelujah!
