The Love Series (lasting)

Many people today are looking for love in all the wrong places. They look to money, fame, relationships in an attempt to find lasting happiness, or lasting love. The problem with that is that it doesn't last. It is only a temporary fix to an even bigger problem. God's love is a lot different than our love. Love that comes from man is often based on what someone does for you. Most people will love as long as someone is giving them something in return. God's love is the opposite. God's love is not dependent on what we do, but rather what he did. Romans 5:8 says that, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Love that is lasting has to start with God. Because God is love. God's agape love is sacrificial and the kind of love that we need in our life.
