SHEMA: Love

AHAVAH refers to the kind of affection or care that one person shows another. 

LORD -the one who was, who is and who will be 

God’s love originates from God’s own character. 

God’s love has no end because it has no beginning 

God’s love has no end because it HAS NO BEGINNING. God’s love is an eternal fact of the universe. 

AHAVAH is one of the strongest things that God feels. God’s love is also an action. 

God chooses (an action) to love.’ 

God’s love is something God does. 

In the ‘SHEMA‘, God calls Israel to respond to His AHAVAH by showing Ahavah in return. 

If I am not doing what the Lord asks in Deuteronomy 10 then, I don’t actually love God… I just say I do! 

I show my love for God by how I treat the people around me. We are to imitate God’s ahavah by showing ahavah for others. 

We love [AHAVAH] because God first loved [AHAVAH] us. – 1 John 4:19
