Alone - God’s LOVE - 1st John 4:10, 19





This is Namma for Christ with the seventy-eighth inspirational message dated Saturday, February 13th, 2016. The title of this message is: "Alone – God’s LOVE – 1st John 4:10, 19". This message is based on the below scripture text from the fourth chapter of 1st John as found in the New Testament  - where the writer, the Apostle John, informs the reader about GOD’S LOVE.


1 John 4:10
New International Version (NIV)

10 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 4:19 
King James Version (KJV)

19 We love Him, because He first loved us.

The above two verses describe God’s love for us…

The initiator of the love…is not us…but God…


1 John 4:19 states, “ We love Him, because He first loved us”.

God is the creator of all things…as Colossians 1:16 states below:

Colossians 1:16
New International Version (NIV)

16 For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him.

We were created because God LOVED us and wants us to GLORIFY HIM!



See the below verses:

1 Corinthians 10:31
New International Version (NIV)

31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
King James Version (KJV)

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Thessalonians 1:11-12
New International Version (NIV)

11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 4:10-11

New American Standard Bible (NASB)


10 As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God
supplies; so that
 in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen

In summary…YOU ARE LOVED…BY GOD!

God loved us so much that He sent His Son Jesus to die for our sins and so that we may believe in Jesus and live for Him: John 3:16 - 


John 3:16

King James Version (KJV)

16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

He created YOU…TO LOVE HIM AND GLORIFY HIM!

Let your life be used to “GLORIFY GOD IN ALL THAT YOU DO!”
