John.3.16 "This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. (MSB). The word LOVE it an action word. Sincere and worthy love is felt from the heart and then express with an action. That is what our anchor scripture is unveiling to us. God love the world but to sustain and restoring it to it original place. He had to proof the love by letting go of his one and only son. Same thing applicable to us. If we confess love for God we should be ready to let go of somethings that world rub off our expression for him and also we should be ready to defend our love even in the face of storms. His love is pure and through his love redemption was given to mankind.
