LOVE is eternal and never fails because it’s: (1st) An Essential Part of God’s Character – 1 John 4:8,16 (2nd) A Necessary Part of The Christian’s Character – Romans 5:5 – In other words, God doesn’t ration out His love—little-by-little… or drop-by-drop… The Holy Spirit POURS FORTH the very nature of God – freely, generously, and lavishly in/on all those who have been born of God… This verb is in the perfect tense—indicating that God’s love was not only poured out into our hearts—but is even now filling our hearts!
