Law of Love

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world.

1 John 5:1-4

Like we have talked about before, love is submission to another. But to submit does not mean you are weak. It says here anyone who calls themselves a child of God has overcome the world. This means all the bad things that surround us can not hold us down as love as we are found in obedience to God, as long as we are found in His Love.
