Gods true Love= no conditions....he Loves us no matter what.

The worlds Love = conditions , a fake and phoney Love...superficial.

God is teaching me to Love as Jesus Loved....there is none like Jesus..

That’s my belief and opinion.

Have you anything to share about God’s Love/ The worlds Love.

God's love is unlike anything we are familiar with in our reality.

1. It sacrifices self for the other.
2. It does not repay evil for evil.
3. Justice is restorative not punitive.
4. It has no expiration date.
5. It is forever expanding.
6. It does not argue Theology.
7. It condescends and identifies with the least.
8. It does not feel threatened.
9. It is forever giving.
10. Life thrives in its presence.

A hardened heart is so far away from God!.

I don’t believe a Born Again can stay with a hard heart, I know mine was still like stone, when I first became Born Again, .....only God has been able to soften and work in my heart, to become like His heart.

Of course I could never love as God Loves...there is none who can love like He.

Just my thoughts..Love is very much at the forefront of my mind today....

I’m in Love with the Spirit Of God, deeper and deeper, I’m like putty in his hands,xxxx

I love to love....yet I still have moments of hissy fits ,hehehe,xxx.

This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.

The world seems to love you if you ally yourself with it. Sadly, the world is often opposed to God's way of doing things.

1co 13:4Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;


1co 13:5does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;

1co 13:6does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

1co 13:7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1jo 2:15Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1jo 2:16For all that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is not of the Father but is of the world.
1jo 2:17And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Even though that is Gods written word, I needed to know what that scripture meant in my heart, that is where I communicate with God, via His Living Holy Spirit.xx

And what is communication?

Mr 16:17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mt 13:16But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Mt 13:17For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

We communicate with God in our spirit...through His Living witness the Living Holy Spirit, who is Alive in our hearts, we have been Born Of The Spirit.....the Living Holy Spirit?xx

Our spirit is Born Again.

1 Corinthians 2:10-12
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

That's if we walk in his statutes and abide in them. God's commandments demands us to put away evil from us. We must be repented. We must strive against sin and the works of the flesh. And if we sin, we have an advocate with the father, the righteous one, and confess our sins so that Jesus may wash us and cleanse us of our sins and from the filth of the flesh and spirit. Also, we must try to separate from and not be like the world.

Sorry, those who are Born Again of imperishable seed, the seed that we are Born Again of is the Living Holy Spirit, who liveth band abideth forever......he liveth and abideth. forever in our hearts/ spirit.

We repented before we became Born Again, even then God brought us to repentance/ Godly sorrow.



Romans 8​

King James Version​

8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord







A Born Again doesn’t sin because they have been Born Of God’s seed...God sees our sin no more.

1 John 3:9

King James Version

9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
