The Nature of His Love by Jason Tax (summer reading list .txt) 📖

have of God’s nature besides this one, that are also incomplete/not fully accurate) Instead God’s love is like a big circle. The circle is His LOVE, and inside of the circle is every other attribute of His nature: joy, peace, patience, mercy, wisdom, honor, righteousness, holiness, justice, power, etc. All founded, perfected, held together, unified, and rightly understood in love! Love is the all in all of everything that God is! This is a much more accurate and truthful way of seeing God’s nature.
Take some time now and think about these things. How awesome is it that God really is love? What does that mean about your relationship with Him? Are there things that you’ve believed about God that don’t reflect a God who loves you unconditionally, seeking your highest good at all times? Do you think that this changes the understanding of the attributes of God? Are there attributes of His nature that you may not have looked at as being from a heart of love? Ask God to show you His truths in these situations. Selah 

Before we go on, just in case you’ve never accepted this amazing God of love into your life before, or if you’ve fallen away from Him, I want you to say this prayer with me:
“Father, I ask that you would reveal the awesomeness of Your love towards me. I ask you to forgive me of any sins that I’ve committed. I ask you to come into my heart and make me new. I believe that Jesus died for me, so that I could live forever with You. Lord, help me experience Your love in ever-increasing measures now, and throughout all eternity. In Jesus name, Amen.”


Ch. 2
All Things Were Created From Love and For Love

Hopefully by now we can all see that God really is love. So what else is there to know of this amazing love, and why have so many not known these things about God? First of all I think it’s important to understand that God is the one who defines love, not man. There are many versions, opinions, and “definitions” of love that are in the world today. But none of them can even compare with God’s definition of what His love truly is. Even the definition of the Greek word agape, which is the New Testament word for God’s love, hardly even begins to reveal the infiniteness of the love of God.
Man often defines attributes by looking at each attribute as being separate from all the other attributes. God sees things much differently. Since all of God’s attributes are found in His love, that means the definition of His love is far greater than what man has thought. God is the definition of love. Love is more than an attribute of God, it is the only attribute that actually represents His entire being. Every other attribute of God is an expression, or extension of His love. All of God’s attributes add to the complete definition of His love. God’s love includes every revelation of truth that is contained within His being. Love can never truly be experienced apart from God, for He is the source of all love. The definition of God’s love is found in everything that God is, and everything that He does. His love is so infinite in scope that no dictionary on earth could possibly define it completely, for it fills eternity. Every manifestation of God’s love represents a piece of the complete definition of who He is, because everything that He is, is Love.
So when we use the word “agape” to define God’s love, know that the true definition of that word according to the mind of God is infinite in measure, and MUCH more complex than the Greek definition. There is no earthly language that even comes close to expressing the fullness of God’s love. It is something that has to be experienced in order for us to know. The infinite expressions of the love of God are found in all the other attributes of His nature. His Love is Jealous, Excellent, Majestic, Holy, Righteous, Faithful, Vengeful, Just, Perfect, Encouraging, Correcting, Funny, Creative, Powerful, and sooo much more. Every attribute of God expresses His love in such a variety of different, and at times seemingly opposite ways, but they are all perfectly joined together as one nature: The Nature of His Love!
