Greetings brothers of Steemchurch and Christian Path.
What does this world lack to make it better? The money? Equanimity in the distribution of income? Civility? What should exist for there to be peace, respect, compassion, harmony between people and from them? What is missing from the world for him to be better are transformed people, people who know the Creator. What is missing from people is the love of God. What is missing from the world is knowing, experiencing, proclaiming and living the love of God.
Jesus describes the love of God in the following way:
Perfect - "God loved so much ..." God's love is perfect because God himself is perfect. There is no way to improve it or increase it. The love of God is the same always. Therefore, the concept that teaches that we need to do something to be loved or accepted is wrong. What is missing from the world is the knowledge of this perfect love, which covers sins, transforms character and presents a new direction and a new methodology for life.
Intense - "God loved so much ... like that." The love of God is intense. It is not oscillating or hesitant. God did not love the world "more or less". He loved the world intensely. What is missing from the world and from people is the knowledge of this intense love.
Donor - "God loved the world so much that he gave his Son ..." The most outstanding characteristic of this perfect and intense love is donation. God spilled over creation in a scandalously loving way. This donation occurred when we could not return anything, not even gratitude.
Integral - "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him ...". When we talk about the extent of God's love, it is not about humanity as a whole, but about its representativeness. The reach of this love does not mean that there will be salvation for all humanity indistinctly, but for people of every tribe, language and nation.
Eternal - "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him should not be lost, but have eternal life." God's love is infinite. This means that we do not happen to be loved after a certain moment. This love has no end, nor does it begin. Therefore, we are not or were loved because of something in us that could or could awaken the love of God. He did not love us because of our merits, he loved us despite our demerits.
God did not become love, he is love. This love of God is perfect, intense, giving, complete and eternal. That is why it is also a sacrificial love. The love that became people to save non-friendly people.
