In today's podcast, we're going to look at what it means to live for love, to build our lives on the foundation of giving and receiving love.

You and I were made in the image of God, and his very nature is love.

So may he guide us into a deep discovery of who we are in him and how we can live our lives

filled with a passionate pursuit of love.

Welcome to the first 15 podcast.

If there is one major theme in the narrative of Scripture is the power of God's love.

It was His love that caused our creation.

It was in love that He offered mankind grace even in our continual rebellion.

It was His love that sent Jesus to rescue us, and it's his love that will win at our

final redemption.

The gathering of all God's people for the great wedding feast.

God is love. He can do nothing apart from love.

Jesus says in Mark 12, 30 to 31 that all of the commandments are summed up for us in one word, love.

You were created to be loved by God and to love him and others

in return, and you will never find satisfaction until you rest in the unconditional love of your

Heavenly Father. You will never find true purpose until you live to love God and others. To live

for love is to step outside of the ways and cares of the world and live

for the kingdom of God. It's to choose to root yourself in the unconditional affection of your

Heavenly Father rather than seeking fulfillment from the fickle love of mankind. It's to choose to

serve and give rather than looking to receive from a world that has so little to offer.

To live for love is to seek first God in his ways and thereby receiving the fullness of life only he can give.

When you begin your days in the presence of God, you lay for yourself a foundation of God's unconditional love.
