1 John 4:7-11 (NIV)
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
God’s own magnificent act of giving is what makes us able to give, ourselves. He begins and ends it, and that’s why it’s not really a sacrifice, but freedom, to give and live a life of 'Love in Action'.
To live a life of love in Action is ultimately a response. A response to a revelation of how much God has already given, and continues to give us. A response of love that would be evidence to the world that we belong to God and that shining the light of Christ into the world is to do good works.
So, to live out a life of love in action, is to keep discovering just how much God has given to us, and how beautiful and good that is, allowing our giving to continually be a response.
