Or how do you know if someone's love for you is genuine or agap(canal)
Please read through this message and you can as well share this to your friends.Take note of the bible references in red as we take a look at the manifestations of love
A person who loves genuienely would have these attributes as that of his/her father in heaven
LIFESTYLE OF GIVING
John 3 vs 16
Love gives freely;God so much loved the world that he gave his only begotten son.Love makes you give without thinking of yourself
LISTEN TO INSTRUCTIONS AND COMMANDMENTS
Those who love God/fellow man or woman adhere to instructions
John 14 vs 15
GIVE/ACCEPT CORRECTIONS
Anybody who loves you will always correct you when you do the wrong things,whosoever is easily provoked by corrections is without an atom of love.
proverbs 3 vs 11-12,proverbs 15 vs 10,proverbs 22 vs 15,proverbs 23 vs 13-14
GIVE/RECIEVE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT
If you are encouraged to do the wrong things,you are not loved.
You might say "how do i know the wrong things"
1st samuel 9 vs 1-6
Truth be told,everyone has a conscience that tells him/her what is wrong or right.This,is one gift that God has given unto us.
So cling unto those who encourage you to do what is right.
LOYALTY
Whosoever you love and vice-versa will always be loyal to you
ruth 1 vs 8
FORGIVENESS
There's not much to say about this.As easy as the word sounds,people find it difficult to forgive others.
If God in all his divinity can still have mercy on us despite our iniquities,how much you?
And finally,the greatest attribute of the manifestations of love is SACRIFICE. Not many of us can sacrifice our time,money,life for the things we truely love
The greatest example is Jesus Christ.
I hope you have been blessed by this message kindly share on facebook,twitter and other platforms below
Our next message on sunday will be on the kinds of love
