What Love Is October 31, 2014
Read: Romans 5:1-8
Years ago I asked a young man who was engaged to be married, How do you know that you love her? It was a loaded question, intended to help him look at his hearts motives for the upcoming marriage. After several thoughtful moments, he responded, I know I love her because I want to spend the rest of my life making her happy.
We discussed what that meantand the price tag attached to the selflessness of constantly seeking the best for the other person, rather than putting ourselves first. Real love has a lot to do with sacrifice.
That idea is in line with the wisdom of the Bible. In the Scriptures there are several Greek words for love but the highest form is agape lovelove that is defined and driven by self-sacrifice. Nowhere is this more true than in the love our heavenly Father has shown us in Christ. We are deeply valued by Him. Paul stated, God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Rom. 5:8).
If sacrifice is the true measure of love, there could be no more precious gift than Jesus: For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son (John 3:16 nlt).
Amazing love!
How can it be
That Thou, my God,
Shouldst die for me? Wesley
The measure of love is what you are willing to give up for it.
As a result of Christs sacrifice, Paul mentions two great benefits for the follower of Christ. In verse 1, he says that we have peace with God, an idea that he unpacks in Philippians 4, where we read of the incomprehensible peace of God, but also the relationship we have with the God of peace Himself (vv.8-9). In Romans 5:2, Paul also declares that we now have access to God. This was a stunning idea that he explained more fully in Colossians 1:21, And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled. We receive the gifts of peace with God and access to God because of Christs loving sacrifice on our behalf.

Long ago and far away, a group called Spanky and Our Gang did a lovely song called “I’d Like To Get To Know You,” which takes the approach to romance sweetly, lightly, and oh so sexily:
“Oh I can’t promise that I’ll spend the day with you,
I can’t promise that I’ll find a way with you,
But I’d like to get to know you
..”
