Ten Reasons to Revel in Being Chosen

[utilyan]

You can't read anything without misunderstanding it, can you?
Just read the first paragraph again, slowly....carefully.......and you will see that there are three things that God is that are His very nature. 'God is Spirit' (John 4:24), 'God is light' (1 John 1:5- pointed out by me earlier). 'God is love' (1 John 4:8).

THEREFORE Love cannot be God, because love is not all that God is. SO SUCK ON THAT!

NO LOVE = NO MARTIN!

Who is the boss here? If God doesn't love you......There is NO MORE YOU.


" God Himself is eternal, and God is love; therefore, as God Himself had no beginning, His love had none. Granted that such a concept far transcends the grasp of our feeble minds" -- Arthur W Pink.

Love is not merely one of His attributes, but His very nature.

It does not say LIGHT is his nature. It does not say Well God is LIGHT itself nor Spirit itself.




Below is where he says it:

==================
The Attributes of God
by Arthur W. Pink
The Love of God

There are three things told us in Scripture concerning the nature of God.
First, "God is spirit" (John 4:24). In the Greek there is no indefinite article, and to say "God is a spirit" is most objectionable, for it places Him in a class with others. God is "spirit" in the highest sense. Because He is "spirit" He is incorporeal, having no visible substance. Had God a tangible body, He would not be omnipresent, He would be limited to one place; because He is "spirit" He fills heaven and earth.
Secondly, "God is light" (1 John 1:5), which is the opposite of darkness. In Scripture "darkness" stands for sin, evil, death, and "light" for holiness, goodness, life. "God is light" means that He is the sum of all excellency.
Thirdly, "God is love" (1 John 4:8). It is not simply that God "loves," but that He is Love itself. Love is not merely one of His attributes, but His very nature.

[Martin Marprelate]

There are three things told us in Scripture concerning the nature of God.

Just read it. Three things, not one. That love is God's nature is not an issue. The issue is that love is not all that God is.

You might also have read this from Pink:

'God's love is not regulated by caprice, passion or sentiment, but by principle. Just as His grace reigns, not at the expense of it, but "through righteousness" (Romans 5:21), so His love never conflicts with His holiness. "God is light" (1 John 1:5) is mentioned before "God is love" (1 John 4:8)..........God will not wink at sin, even in His own people. His love is pure, unmixed with any maudlin sentimentality.'
