LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE TERMS: “THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE” – THE ‘LOVE’ OF THE SIXTH SENSE – CALLED AGAPE!
There’s THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE, which operates by FAITH in God’s WORD – it’s called AGAPE LOVE. This love of God is spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. It’s sustained and maintained by same Holy Spirit, hence it knows no stress, weariness or limited or conditioned by any ‘nesses; as such there’s NO room for selfishness, wickedness, maliciousness and greediness. It’s the love of God that transcends the five senses called – THE SIXTH SENSE LOVE – THE LOVE BEYOND KNOWLEDGE.
“And to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SUPERCEDES, SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (Human Senses), that ye might be FILLED with ALL the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:19/Emphasis Mine.
HEREIN ARE FEW THINGS TO NOTE OF THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE:
** Its embodiment are HOPE and FAITH for functionality.
** It’s love built on principle, it’s intentional, unconditional and boundless.
** It transcends the natural or material worlds of the Five Senses Love.
** It’s the more excellent way to communicate to God and man in God’s terms.
** It enriches all things, transcends culture, religion, colour, tradition, generation and gender. Simply because it’s of God and God is love.
** It answers every quest of man and its not fathom by the five senses or limited by it.
Therefore, this LOVE of God is spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5, 8.
And as you go about doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus, I PRAY that you will come to know and experience this love of God that’s – spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable, practicable – and way beyond sentiments, prejudice, dissimulation, doctrine, denomination, sectarianism, colour, tongue and such like. The love that inspires, reveals and empowers.
Blessed regards in Christ Jesus stead.
