The Beatles were right. All you need is love. Love is all you need. But love not born of man. Born of God.
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."
1 John 4:7-8
God is love. He is the definition of Love. He is the author of Love. The source. The beginning and ending words in a love letter written to humanity. Delivered in the flesh through His son Jesus. A love demonstrated to us through his death, an atonement for all mankind.
And all those of us who have been born of that love now live in a new covenant with God. We now live this new life of love as Christ did, in obedience.
"I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another. And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love."
2 John 1:5-6
For because of Christ's obedience to the Father, He loved us. And we now born of that same love, through the power of a Holy Spirit, are tasked to do likewise without exception. Love for all. For all we need is LOVE.
