Let Love Rule: Living a Life Anchored in God’s Love

 

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
1 John 4:18, KJV

Love isn’t just a command. It’s a foundation, a filter, and a force.
If you're seeking truth, it begins with love. If you're proclaiming truth, it must be clothed in love. If you claim to know God, you must walk in love  because God is love (1 John 4:8).

The Word is clear: the revelation of truth can only come through love.
You can speak theology. You can memorize Scripture. You can preach loudly. But if love does not rule your motives, your words are empty noise (1 Corinthians 13:1).
Love must not be supplemental  it must be central.


Truth Revealed Through Love

“But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.”
Ephesians 4:15, KJV

The world is flooded with opinions, arguments, and information. But heaven is searching for voices that speak from the place of divine love.
God’s truth isn’t delivered like a weapon  it flows like a river of living water, revealing not just what’s right, but who He is.

God is not asking you to win debates. He’s asking you to be a vessel of His love.
He promises, “as you live in My love, I will show Myself through your life and through your words.”
This is how others will come to know Him  not through clever reasoning, but through relational revelation.


Love Is the Overflow of His Presence

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
2 Timothy 1:7, KJV

Fear will keep you guarded. Pride will keep you distant. Religion will keep you performing.
But love will set you free.

God has not filled you with fear. He has filled you with His Spirit  and the Spirit overflows with love. As you remain rooted in Christ, the fruit of His Spirit (Galatians 5:22) will naturally spill from your life:
“love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith…”

When love rules your heart, your life becomes ministry.
You don't need a stage  you just need to love the person in front of you.
You don’t need recognition  you need compassion.

Even when distractions come, and they will, the Lord promises: “Your eyes are fixed on Me, and I will hold you fast in My love.”


Love Must Lead

“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.”
1 John 3:18, KJV

The Lord is calling His people back to the simplicity of love.

Let love lead your:

  • Words – Speak from a place of gentleness and truth.

  • Actions – Serve without seeking applause.

  • Mindset – Filter your thoughts through God’s mercy.

  • Decisions – Ask not “What’s best for me?” but “What’s most loving?”

When love is your guide, wisdom will lead you, and compassion will lift you. The enemy loses his grip when we walk in love  because guilt, shame, bitterness, and pride cannot survive in the presence of perfect love.


The Litmus Test of True Love

“If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?”
1 John 4:20, KJV

This Scripture should shake us.
It doesn’t matter how passionate your worship is if your heart harbors hate.
It doesn’t matter how loud your preaching is if your love is silent.

Anyone can say “I love God”.
But the proof is in how you treat the people around you  especially the ones who test your patience, oppose your values, or don’t yet believe what you believe.

Jesus said, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (John 13:35, KJV)
Not by your posts. Not by your theology.
By your love.


The Gospel of Salvation

And this love we speak of  it finds its most perfect expression in the cross of Jesus Christ.
He loved you long before you ever loved Him.
He loved you while you were still in sin.
And He is calling you now.

All have sinned.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23, KJV

Sin brings death.
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:23, KJV

Jesus paid the price.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8, KJV

Confess and believe.
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:9, KJV

You don’t have to earn His love. You simply have to receive it.
And once you do  let it rule.


Conclusion

This is the season of love.
Not a surface-level emotion, but a Spirit-filled reality.
Let love rule your heart, your home, your habits, and your hands.

When love is your foundation, truth is no longer just doctrine  it’s demonstration.
Let the world see Him in you.
Let your life preach before your mouth ever does.
And let love rule.
