The Deepest Love

Practical Messages for Impractical Times

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” (NIV) 1 Corinthians 13:6-8

In our sinful natures, we are unable to meet the criteria for love as defined in 1 Corinthians 13:6-8. It is the always and the never that we are unable to fulfill. There are a lot of acts that I have made a conscious decision to do or not to do; but, truthfully, I have not reached the goal of loving others, as God requires.

The first step to possessing unconditional love is to pray for the understanding of God’s love. Even the Apostle Paul in his writings emphasized the depth of God’s love.

“I pray that you being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” Ephesians 3:17-18 NIV

The agape love described in Corinthians can only be found (and attained) through God and received through Jesus Christ. Loving, as God requires is not an impossible dream. When our relationship with God is rock solid, our character is changed and we begin to act, think, and love deeply as our Heavenly Father intended.

Prayer for Today: Dear God, Please help me to understand the depth of your love so that I may love you and others as you command. Amen!

About Us

Steps 2 Success with Spiritual Solutions is a Bible-based Ministry.

“Here is the patience of the saints, here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12).

We believe in the Proclamations of the Three Angels Messages found in Revelation 14:6-11.

We believe in the Triune God who is God, the Father, Jesus, God, His Son, and God,the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the Plan of Salvation and that we are forgiven of our sins. And we strive to live as those who are forgiven by giving up our sinful desires and submitting our will to God through humility, obedience, diligent prayer and consistent study of the Bible, the Word of God.

We believe Redemption mandated that Divinity become humanity; Redemption required the death of Jesus and the shedding of his blood on the cross that we may have Eternal life.

We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus.

We believe that immortality will be received at Jesus’ Second Coming and not when an individual dies.

We believe that Satan, evil angels, and the wicked will be destroyed by fire. Malachi 4:1

We believe in the entire Bible and that all scripture was written under the inspiration of God.

We believe in the Fourth commandment which tells us that the 7th Day, Saturday is the Sabbath. God blessed the Creation Sabbath and it is Holy. In Genesis, a day is identified as the evening and the morning, therefore, we observe the Sabbath from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.

We believe that humanity was created in the image of God and that we are to love God and to love each other as God loves us.

We believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the only way to God is to believe Jesus died, was raised on the third day, and is now in heaven serving as our Heavenly Intercessor.
