Sometimes, when we say one thing, we are also saying another. To say that I believe in love may very well mean that I also believe in God. To say that I believe in God is certainly to say that I believe in love. The reason is because God is love, but is love God? The latter is a maybe the former is a for sure. The problem is in our understanding of love, and more than likely our understanding of it is flawed. God is love only insofar as God defines love. But surely God’s is the very definition of true love.
“God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” 1John 4.16 Conversations Within” ts 10/22/2017
