RAW FACTS ABOUT HUMAN LOVE - How To Recognize Love - Part IV

While it is certainly true that we can enjoy happiness by being WITH one or more than one human being...

True and abiding happiness can never be derived FROM any human being. Our happiness comes not from what is around us, but from what is within us; not from what we have, but from what we are. Real happiness is found only in being good and doing good. It is found in love because, {Love does good and nothing but good} It is found in GOD because GOD is love and to imitate GOD’s example of doing good is the essence of real happiness. Being good and doing good are indispensable to the perfection of character. However, You must be good before you can do good. Goodness and faithfulness must be found combined in the characters of those who are to inherit eternal life. Goodness is the result of divine power transforming human nature. Here is how the process works. Jesus conveys the circulating vitality of a pure & sanctified Christ‑like love through every part of our human nature.

The divine love emanating from Christ never destroys human love, but includes it. By it human love is refined and purified, elevated and ennobled. Human love can never bear its precious fruit until it is united with the divine nature and trained to grow heavenward. Read & study 2 Peter 1:4-7,11 for more details about growing heavenward.

Full And Complete Joy Is Found In The Presence Of God. Lasting, Satisfying Pleasure Proceeds From God - Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fulness of joy ; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore. Psalms 16: 11

Without Christ True Love, True Goodness Or Abiding Happiness Is Not Possible - I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:51

Any Manifestations Of True Goodness And Of True Love By A Human Being Is The Result Of The Working Of God's Holy Spirit - But the fruit OF THE SPIRIT is LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, GOODNESS, faith. Galatians 5:22

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God. Mark 10:18

Goodness Results In Truly Deep Happiness Which Is Joy - For God giveth to a man that [is] good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, AND JOY. Ecclesiastes 2: 26

By the grace of God, we will continue to study these things in another post...

    Question - Can someone experience human love and not believe in Christ, but believe in a higher power

    Yes. Absolutely ! It happens all the time. Human love is not dependent upon whether a person believes in God or not. Human love is based mostly on feelings. Feelings change and that's why human love changes. You don't need to believe in God or a higher power to have feelings. But we do need God to help us control our feelings and to have right feelings.

    Divine love, however, is based upon principle. It does not change with circumstances or feelings.

    Whenever a human being loves someone with no other purpose but to do good, it is actually God working through that person.

    Human love cannot reach its full potential or fulfill the purpose of God without God.

    Thanks for the question.
