Sons of God are sons of Love

Sons of God are sons of Love
Notice something John Said in the First Epistle of John. It tells us something more about the
God-kind of Love. The sons of God-God’s born -again new creation-are to walk in the God-kind
of love.
1. JOHN 3:1,2
I Behold, what manner of love the father hath bestowed upon us, that WE SHOULD BE
CALLED THE SONS OF GOD: therefore, the world knoweth us not, because it knew
him not.
2. Beloved, NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD……
We are not just going to be the sons of God when we all get to Heaven in the sweet by and by. If
we’re been born again, we are the sons of God now. If we are sons of God, then we are sons of
love because God is love and we are made in His image.
Since God is love, and we are children of God, then we are children of love. When we were born
again, the life of God was imparted into our spirits.
Believers are to let the life and the love of God dominate their being.
That is the reason we have to do something with our minds and bodies because divine love has
not been shed abroad in our minds and bodies. And unless we do something about our fleshly
nature, it will hinder us from walking in love.
Our unrenewed mind and our unregenerated flesh will try to dominate the inward man -the spirit
man on the inside.
ROMANS 12:1,2
1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that YE PRESENT YOUR
BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable
service.
2. And be not conformed to this world: but BE YE TRANSFORMED [How?] BY THE
RENEWING OF YOUR MIND that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and
perfect, will of God.
We need to get our minds renewed wit the Love of God! The body of Christ hasn’t really
renewed their minds to the God kind of love as we should have. But the bible has much to say
about renewing the mind. We will have to renew our minds if we’re going to walk in the love
toward others.
The God-Kind of Love Forgives and Forgets

How can we forgive like God forgives? Well, the Bible says that God is love. And the same kin
that the love of God is has been shed abroad in our hearts or spirits in our inner man by the Holy
Spirit.
What kind of love is it? Is it natural, human love?
No, it is divine love. It is the God-kind of love. And one characteristic of the God-kind of love is
that it forgives.
Let's look in the Word and see how God forgives. One thing about divine love- when God
forgiveness is that, He forgets!
Once we repent and ask God's forgiveness, He blots out our transgressions and doesn't remember
our sin anymore.
ISAIAH 48:25
25 I, even I, am he that BLOTTETH OUT THY TRANSGRESSIONS for mine own sake, and
WILL NOT REMEMBER thy sins.
Under the New covenant, God again tells us how He forgives.
HEBREWS 8:12
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and THEIR SINS AND Them INIQUITIES
WILL I
REMEMBER NO MORE.
How does God forgive? These Scriptures tell UB that once we ask forgiveness, God doesn't
remember our sins anymore. No morel This verse doesn't say, "I'm going t-0 hold everything
you've ever done against you, and I'm going to remind you of your sins every time I think of
them."
Can you imagine that! What if every time we prayed, God reminded us of everything we'd ever
done in the past? We wouldn't have any faith, would we? We'd constantly be feeling guilty about
our past. We wouldn't come boldly before Him and expect to receive anything from Him
because we'd constantly be feeling condemned.
Aren't you glad God forgives and forgets! Thank God, this verse said that when we ask
forgiveness, God will remember our sins no more! The Bible says He is faithful and just to
forgive us (1 John 1:9).
Sometimes husbands and wives can be prone to remind each other of their past mistakes
every time something happens. There's no way they can develop a good relationship if he keeps
doing that. Not only that, but constantly reminding each other of past mistakes d failures will
rum their prayer lives, and it will make their faith inoperative.
