Christian Affirmations

I am sure you have heard of the saying that love conquers all and it is very true. Love, along with forgiveness are the two most powerful substances known to man. With unconditional love you have no fear, you hold no grudges and you have perfect peace that so many strive to find.

The Bible has a lot to say about love and even goes as far as to say that God is love. That statement alone should alert us to the fact that if we want to find love then we need to go to the place where it is. God is love; God is that place where love can be found.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13 is quite often referred to as the love chapter. It uses the word charity which actually means love. Let’s break down the verses of this chapter to see what love is and is not.

Love is patient and kind
Love is not jealous
Love does not boast
Love is not proud
Love is not rude
Love is not self-seeking
Love is not easily angered
Love keeps no record of wrongs
Love is never glad about wrongdoing
Love rejoices with the truth
Love protects
Love always trusts
Love always hopes
Love always perseveres
Love never fails

Wow! How great is love?

So let’s see how many affirmations we can get out of this chapter.

Finally let’s finish with this scripture: Romans 5:5 – And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Where is the love of God? What has been shed abroad in our hearts? How did God put his love in our hearts? All the answers are in the above verse.

By the way shed abroad means to: pour out, to distribute largely. He hasn’t just sprinkle this love onto our hearts he has poured it into our hearts in large portions.
