Source of Love.

We all believe in Love.  We participate in it without being able to define it.  On a functional level, we acknowledge Love is truth.  We need it, we seek it, we behave badly because of it.  It compels us, drives us and also brings out the best in us.  

It's not the existence of Love that we disagree upon.  What we disagree about is the source.  Have you spent enough time considering where Love comes from, and who it serves?  Some might explain Love as a sequence of chemical reactions serving an evolutionary end. Some keep love at a distance, making it the random functions of the Universe at large.  We cannot deny it's existence even as we strain to understand. Whatever explanation we come up with, true definition remains elusive.

Once again, Christianity provides a personal,  fuller, more complete explanation for Love and it's source.  It is no less mysterious, but also no less true when we say "God is Love".  

1 John 4:

16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
