Definition of Love – Where to look at?
Unsullied love
Only one act of pure love, unsullied by any taint of ulterior motive, has ever been performed in the history of the world, namely the self-giving of God in Christ on the cross for undeserving sinners. That is why, if we are looking for a definition of love, we should look not in a dictionary, but at Calvary.
(First Paragraph is excerpted from John Stott’s “The Cross of Christ” –P 212)
Unfailing love
In a distressed, disappointing, false promising world the one true love that will not fail us is God’s love for us. You can ask will he not fail me unlike other human love. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Come to him with your broken heart and he will make it whole again. Don’t just try him, but trust him.His love will never disappoint you rather it will always comfort you.
Demonstrative love
Oh what a love that its depth not be understood fully in words which he demonstrated for us on the cross. We were not present on Golgotha when this took place two thousand years ago. But we can see today in our eye of faith and believe that the blood that he shed covers the sins of the whole world. We may ask how I know that he died for me and how it can cleanse me. Come to the feet of the cross with a humble, simple, saving faith and believe on the finished work of Christ, and you will understand how much he loves you still.
Romans 5:8 - “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
1 Cor 15:3,4 - "For what i received i passed on to you as of first importance:that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures".
It’s my personal plea to everyone who is reading these lines to believe the unsullied, unfailing and his demonstrative love for you displayed on the Cross.
God Bless.
