God's love is a LIFE GIVING love. "God sent His only Son into the world, so that we might LIVE through Him." 1 John 4:9.
God gives us life through His Son's death. This life He gives is ETERNAL life. This is not only life without end or diminishing, but God's kind and quality of life! We deserved eternal death but have been given eternal life. That is God's love for us.
In ourselves we are TAKERS, not givers. We suck the life out of others for our own good. We use others to make our life better. We see others as those who are to be consumed. We measure others according to their potential for making our life better.
Not the God who is love. He is life. He has no need to siphon off the life of others.
God gives His own son to death for us to have life. Then He raises His son to life and raises Him to heaven where He now lives to intercede for our continuing life (Hebrews 7:25).
And the Father and the Son do all this for our life out of their infinite, eternal, unchanging life-giving love.
Who needs life from you?
