Deuteronomy 13:3. Only if you love God with all your heart, body, and soul, will you understand true prophecy. Many people may prophesy great and wondrous things about the future, but not all prophesies are from God.

The Bible has a lot of advice about spiritual things. Spiritual things are things that are supernatural and cannot be sensed by our five senses. Spiritual things are things such as love, righteousness, goodness, and many more virtues that are also characteristics of God. Spiritual things are eternal. They have no beginning and they have no end. God desires for us to focus on spiritual things.

The illustration of The Father, Preacher, and Lost Son provides us an example of God's unconditional love. In the story the son is found by the preacher, but the father has all types of conditions in accepting his son back to him. This father's love was conditional: if you meet these requirements I'll love you. But fortunately for us God's love is unconditional.

Bible Summary. God is love. Love is God. The Greek word, agape, defines love as unconditional favor and devotion to the well being of someone. God has shown us real love by his grace and the giving of His Son that all of mankind may have eternal life. Love is never inpatient, mean, envies, prideful, short-lived, or self-serving. God asks for us to grow in love of Him and our fellow man.

The illustration of Mother and the son with AIDs provides us an example of unconditional love.

Summary of John 15. Jesus tell us that He is the true vine. He tells us to abide in Him and He will abide in us. If He abides in us, we can ask what we will and it shall be done.

<< 1 John 4 >> tells us of God's perfect love. God loved us first. Because God loves us, He sent His son, Jesus Christ, to save us. God's love is "agape" love which is defined as unmerited favor.
