The only possible explanation is because God loves us. The Bible says, “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 4:10).

The reason we will love others best when we love God most is that love in its truest, purest form only comes from God, because God is love (1 John 4:7–8). Love is a fundamental part of his nature. We are only able to love him or anyone else because he first loved us (1 John 4:19). We are only able to give freely to others what we have received free...
When we (or anything else, if that’s possible) become our supreme love instead of God, love becomes distorted and diseased. Love ends up devolving into whatever we wish for it to mean.

The author and perfecter of love, Love himself, stepped into our horrible evil anarchy to redeem us (Romans 5:8), his people, and give us new life (Ephesians 2:5), and trans...
So we see that if we love God most, we will love others best. I find this to be a convicting and uncomfortable truth: How we love others, particularly other Christians, reveals how we love God.

May 11, 2022 · 1. Love is God’s nature. “God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.” (1 John 4:16) It is natural for God to love since it is His nature. For this reason, He loves us, humans, even though we are sinners and unfaithful to Him.
