“If love is a mere emotion, then our love for a spouse, children, even God, is dependent on how we feel about them at a given moment, but feelings are fickle and can be as up or down based on factors as simple and mundane as the amount of sleep we’ve had or whether or not we exercised today.
No wonder people fall in and out of love so much. They are treating love as an emotion or feeling rather than what it really is, an action verb.
God demonstrated his love for us by sending His Son to redeem us. Thats no mere act of emotion, but an act that lives out love. Ultimately, we love God and love others around us when we actively demonstrate it.”
