what the devil lacks

what is one of the main things that God has that Lucifer didn’t have? LOVE. that makes Him first in my eyes. God’s main power over the powers of the prince of the world is the power of His love.. not brute force, nor weapons, not Satan’s lure of temptation & other mystical forces of the occult.. but the sheer amazing love for us that conquers the stranglehold of sin. 

issit possible that God can bring himself down to our level to identify with us & die for us?? for Jesus is the exact representation of God’s being… wow.. Jesus didn’t demonstrate His power through force or might, but by the power of His self-sacrificial love… that’s what conquers all other physical powers… 

LOVE phileo – friendly affection agapao – commitment of devotion that is directed by the will and can be commanded as a duty a selfless concern for the welfare of others that is not called forth by any quality of lovableness in the person loved, but is the product of a will to love in obedience to God’s command – like Christ’s love manifested on the cross God doesn’t love us because we are lovable…He just does because He IS love (1 John 4:16) God’s grace is free, and not warranted by any worthiness in us...it is lavished on us despite our undesirable character...
