*Study scripture:* _1John.3.16 – We know what real love is because Christ gave up his life for us. And so we also ought to give up our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters.(NLT)_
*REAL LOVE*
One of the easiest words a person can easily tell a friend is that *I love you!.* But the proof of love is not merely in speech only. Love is a language a man must carry and this must have a character.
The scripture tells us not to love in word only *_1John.3.18 – Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions.(NLT)_* If love does not have a corresponding action that evokes the feeling of a person being exalted,it is not complete love. God does not permit us to love in word only but also in demonstration.
In our theme scripture, one of the proofs of love is to learn to give your life for the others. If you truly love someone,you are ready to sacrifice your life, resources, money for them always. If you love a lady,you can sacrifice for her. If you love a man,you can give your life for them.
The proof that Jesus loves us is the reality that he gave his life for us. *_John.10.11 – “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep._* This is the true perfection of love, when you exercise to lay down your life for the rest of the people you say you love.
*_John.15.13 – And here is how to measure it–the greatest love is shown when people lay down their lives for their friends._* Greater love is not demonstrated by merely telling someone every now and then that I love you. It is when you learn to exercise a life of sacrifice for someone you love.
*_Hallelujah!!_*
*Further study:*
John 3:16
Romans 5:8-10
*Nugget:*
Exercise the character of love continuously. The proof of love is to learn to give your life for the brethren. If you do not give your life for someone,you do not truly love them. The greatest level of love is to sacrifice for someone else.
*Glory to God!!*
*Prayer*
I thank you Lord for teaching me about Love. I learn to truly love and give my life for my brethren in the name of Jesus.
Amen
