Rick Warren in his book The Purpose Driven Life
says, Life is all about the invasion of love!
Because God is love, the most important lesson
he wants you to learn on earth is how to love. It
is in loving that we are most like him, so love
is the foundation of every command he has given
us the whole Law can be summed up in this one
command Love others as you love yourself

Invaded by Love
On the day of Pentecost all the Lord's followers
were together in one place. Suddenly there was a
noise from heaven like the sound of a mighty
wind! It filled the house where they were
meeting. Then they saw what looked like fiery
tongues moving in all directions, and a tongue
came and settled on each person there. Holy
Spirit took control of everyone, and they began
speaking whatever languages the Spirit let them
speak. (Act 21-4)
The love of God has been shed abroad in our
hearts through the presence of Holy Spirit.
(Romans 55)
How great is the love that the Father has
lavished upon us! (1John 31)
But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins.
(Luke 538)

Renovated by Love
A new heart of love I will give you, And a new
spirit of love I will put within you And I will
take away the stony heart And I will give you a
heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 3626)
So if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation
the old things have come to an end all things
have truly become new. (2Co 517)
When the Love of God and his love toward man
appeared, not by works done in righteousness,
which we did ourselves, but according to his
mercy he saved us, through the washing of
regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
which he poured out upon us so richly, through
Jesus Christ our Savior (Titus 34)

Intoxicated by love
And do not indulge in to much wine by which one
may be overcome, but be intoxicated with the
Spirit of love joining with one another in holy
songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your
voice in songs and making melody in your heart
to the Lord (Ephesians 518-19)
We all hear these men using our own languages to
tell the wonderful things God has done. Everyone
was excited and confused. Some of them even kept
asking each other, "What does all this mean?"
Others made fun of the Lord's followers and said,
"They are drunk." Peter stood with the eleven
apostles and spoke in a loud and clear voice to
the crowd Friends and everyone else living in
Jerusalem, listen carefully to what I have to
say! You are wrong to think that these people are
drunk. After all, it is only nine o'clock in the
morning. But this is what God had the prophet
Joel say, "When the last days come, I will give
my Spirit to everyone. Your sons and daughters
will prophesy. Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will have dreams. In those days
I will give my Spirit to my servants, both men
and women, and they will prophesy. (Act 211-18)

He who has no love has no knowledge of God,
because God is Love 1John 48
We truly love God only when we obey him as we
should, and then we know that we belong to him.
If we say we are his, we must follow the example
of Christ. (1John 25-6 CEV)
Jesus said If you love me, you will do as I
command. (John 1415 CEV)
Don't love the world or anything that belongs to
the world. If you love the world, you cannot
love the Father. (1Jn 215 CEV)
No one has ever seen God. But if we love each
other, God lives in us, and his love is truly in
our hearts. (1Jn 412 CEV)

Expanded by Love
Being rooted and grounded in love, I pray that
you may apprehend with all the saints what is the
breadth and length and height and depth, and to
know this love of Christ which surpasses
knowledge, that you may be filled unto all the
fullness of God. (Ephesians 317-20 ASV)
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet
more and more in knowledge and all discernment
so that ye may approve the things that are most
excellent in love (Philippians 19-10 ASV)

We are ruled by Christ's love for us His love
constrains us to love him and each other (2
