The Greatest Love Of All

The Greatest Love Of All​

The Greatest love

In her 1985 song, "Greatest Love Of All," Whitney Houston claimed that the greatest love of all was to love yourself: "Learning to love yourself. It is the greatest love of all." However, the Bible has a different idea about what is the greatest love.

According to Jesus, love that people give (to each other and to God) fulfills all the commandments of God. According to the Bible, the love of God is described as being great and almost beyond comprehension. God's love is compared to the height of the heavens above the earth and even beyond.

The greatest human love

Jesus defined the greatest love from a human perspective, as recorded in the gospel of John:


"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)

Jesus Himself fulfilled this greatest love by dying for us so that we could be forgiven of all our sins and have fellowship with God:

"But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us". (Romans 5:8)

This example of the extreme love of God is to apply to those who follow Jesus Christ.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. (1 John 3:16)

Laying down one's own life is not the message of the world, and would be considered from an evolutionary paradigm to be stupid. Even in other religions, the giving of one's life is not encouraged.

Here is the case

Two men are stranded in the desert. One man has water, while the other has none. There is enough water for one man to make it to safety. However, if they share the water, they will both die before they could get to safety. What does the man with the water do?

The World's answer is that the man with the water should take the water to save his own life. Of course, the Christian answer is that the man with the water should give it to the other man and give up his own life. When confronted with the differences between the World view and Christianity, both thought that Christianity took the higher moral ground.

It is the love of God in Christ that allows His disciples to voluntarily give up their own lives for others. You, too, can experience this love and pass it on to others.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)

Yeah in this world True Mother's Love is just like a shadow of God's love but God love is the greatest

We can see that some of our mother's try to kill their babies but God is even willing to give his life for us the ransom for many

I know for sure in this world or above God's love is the greatest

Jesus I love you so much as you said my food is to do the fill of my father

Jesus use me to spread your massage of forgiveness, I know the cost of being your disciple I hope I can even bear that cost, ultimate cost is my life.

MR. Galpatha You put a nice picture , God's best Guadian Angel in this word for every human beings

Anyway let see what Lord Buddha has to say about LOVE

He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.
Buddha

Mchan first I got this from website but I would like to ask you where did Buddha say this ? (any reference? from Tripitakaya) Can you explain this as a true Buddhist person (I think before I question about thing statement I would like to hear your explaination on this statement)

 

[Y2K]

Mother's love is just like a shadow of God's love but I Would like to ask from my Buddhist friends "What do you think of LOVE? is it a good thing or a bad thing? do all Buddhist b'live that this life has no meaning? If the Answe is yes Mother's love also Temporary thing right?

Will you drink poison for me? Mark 16:18

Believers are told in Mark 16:17-18 that they can drink "any deadly thing" and "it shall not hurt” them. But I don't think you would be naive enough to drink any arsenic offered. Perhaps I'm wrong and you would be willing to test the Book's veracity-"lay it on the line" so to speak?
​

Biblical Errancy Pamphlets by Dennis McKinsey Pamphlet 1 Q16.(Mark 16:15-18 NIV) He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. {16} Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. {17} And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; {18} they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."


IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN JESUS THEN DRINK
