Love of God In Colossians 3:17 St. Paul reminds us, “ and whatever you do, whether in word or in deed , do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him .” Out of love, God revealed the Moral Law through the Ten Commandments. Out of love God gives every person the strength and inspiration to fulfilo His teachings and commandments. Each one of us has been gifted with the capacity to love.

We receive love from Him and we should love from Him and we should also give back this love. One way to show love is by learning His word. Then we need to translate His word into action. With our personal surrender to God, we can spend quality time with with Him daily, serving Him heartily evry moment of our lives.
