LOVE Is The Visible Attribute Of An Invisible God

1 John 4 : 12 says, " No one has ever seen GOD, but if we love one another, God lives us and His love is made complete in us. In other words, Even though no person has ever actually seen God the Father, we are able to see God's character as we love one another.

Remember that " God is love " ( 1 John 4 : 8 ); so, when we walk in love, we are like God.

Thus, although we can't actually see God, we can see His character in our love for each other ( and in His love for us ). Indeed, Romans 5 : 8 tells us that " God demonstrates His own love for us in this : While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. "

Furthermore, Jesus said that we, His disciples, will be known by our fruit, " By their fruit you will recognize them. " The fruit of the Spirit is love... . Thus, we are known by our love - love for one another and love for God.

It is so important to walk in love, because love is the visible attribute of an invisible God.

Are You So Busy Working For God That You Never Spend Any Time With God?

It is easy to justify doing good works for god as a substitute for spending real, intimate, quality, personal time with God. For example, a youth pastor may spend many hours planning events for kids - preparing the music, setting up the games, arranging the transportation and even preparing a brief message. However, none of that is a substitute for spending personal time with God - reading the Bible, praying, seeking God's guidance, worshiping and just setting in His presence.

Unfortunately, many people are often so caught up in other activities that we use then as an excuse for not spending time with God. Instead, they need to make a firm decision to put God first in our lives. For examples, King David, who certainly had many opportunities to fill his time with other activities, know that spending time with God is an absolute necessity - a vital need. In Psalm 27 : 4, he said that God was the most important thing in his life, " One thing I ask of the LORD, 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 to seek Him in his temple. "

Indeed, Jesus declared that if we seek God, he will take care of the rest of the things in our lives," Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well" ( Matthew 6 : 33 ). In your life, put God first, and He will take care of " all these things " Follow David's example, make God the " one thing " you need. That way, you won;t be so busy working for God that you never spend any time with God.
