LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE TERMS: GOD’S LOVE – The ‘LOVE’ of the Sixth Sense – Called AGAPE!
There’s the LOVE of God 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.
“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 GOD’S LOVE:
** 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, color, tradition, generation and gender. Simply because it’s of God and God is love.
** It answers every quest of man and it’s 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.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, THE THINGS which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him” 1 Corinthians 2:9.
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.
“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).
