God is love.

Love IS NOT God.

Of cause it is, you cannot be anything other than what you are.

Is , is a state of being. And we know that God is unchanging,so we can confidently say he is love and if you have seen love,you have seen God,so love is God, he that love's is born of God.

Every one that loves is born of God.1 John 4:7


Why do i feel someone is going to resist this scripture with "everyone that sins is of the devil".

God who is love, is always first. Whoever is first wins, so love wins, math even i can figure out .We love him because he first loved us 1 John 4:19

He who is last shall be first......................For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.2 Cor 8:9.

Love is not God.

I don't know how to explain that better. God embodies love, love does not embody God.

I worship and adore God.

I do not worship and adore love.

They are not synonyms.

I'm trying to understand what you're saying. Are you suggesting that the love I John is talking about is just an everyday, random kind of love? I love being with hookers, so I'm born of God? I love chocolate, so I'm born of God?

We're talking about love for God here....not just love in general....

Why would you even contemplate that is what i'm saying ?.

No i am talking about the love of God, the very essence of who God is. It's not hard my friend , all you really need to do, to know what love is(God is love), is to read 1 Corinthians 13.The amplified bible online if you haven't got one would be a great place to read it.
