1 John 4 Seeing God Through Love 12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. When we surrender our lives to Jesus and invite Him into our hearts, God fills us with His Holy Spirit. Everywhere we go, every step we take from that day forward, the Holy Spirit is in us directing our steps, directing our actions, guiding us to make choices pleasing to God. The Holy Spirit also gives us understanding of God's Word. Do you remember reading the Bible before you were saved? You probably found it very confusing at times. After you surrender your life to Jesus, the Word became much less confusing, there was clarity. No, you didn't understand all of it immediately, no one does in this lifetime, but the Holy Spirit gives you insight. The Holy Spirit also fills us with God's love. That love helps us see others as God sees them. God created each and every one of us in love, with love, because of His love and we need to love eachother as He loves. Blessings, Cecilia |
Read with us through the bible, God speaks to us through His word, deepens our faith and beliefs. What will God say to you? Read and find His comfort today! Stanford Sanctuary gets it name from a sign my mother had hanging on a wilderness cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a place that gave us peace. Blessings, The Stanford's
