Love Champions

By M.H. Leigh

Love could be a choice in asceticism, egotism, and stoicism. Love would be a prize with socialism, communism, and spiritualism.

To love the beloved is good; to love the unlovable is better; and to love the haters is love at its best. To love and to be loved with natural knowledge and supernatural wisdom is intimacy under commandment; passion under covenant; and commitment under salvation.

This book ‘Love Champions’ reveals the mystery of unconditional love from the God of love and unveils the miracle of God’s love to the lovers of God through God’s sovereign words and deeds. The good news of the salvation gospel from God-the Creator transformed all lovers and haters alike, and transfigured all lovers of God into Love Champions abiding God’s Great Commandment of loving God and others as self, and applying God’s Great Commission of spreading the amazing salvation to all nations.

‘Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.’

‘Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it

not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps

no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in

evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,

AUTHOR’S NOTE

‘Dear friends, let us love one another,

for love comes from God.

Everyone who loves has been born

of God and knows God.

Whoever does not love does not know

God, because God is love.’

1John 4:7-8 NIV

To love the beloved is good, to love the unlovable is better, and to love the enemy is at its best. It might be inadequate even with good intention under the general contribution from human knowledge and would be adequate with the best attention under the special revelation from Godly wisdom. To love and to be loved in God the Creator is the ultimate love connection on earth as in heaven.

To love is to trust and to be loved is to be accepted. Ultimate love is from God the Creator as God is perfect. Love never dies with God as God is omnipresence. Some love with human knowledge and others love in Godly wisdom. Some love life before death as life is temporal on earth and others love life before and after death as life is eternal on earth, as in heaven with and in God the Creator as God speaks through creation with His created things and beings.

Love signified in self, from world, unto Satan, and upon gods inclusively under God the Creator to His created beings and things. Love is evolved in different forms and arenas of life. Love of entities in God, others, self, animals and creatures; and love of things in nature, money, beauty, fame, and material stuffs; altogether conceived a wide spectrum of love. Love uniquely being initiated from human attitude presents unto relational behavior in words and in actions and ultimately being resurrected by Godly attribute expresses upon holiness, righteousness, deity, goodness, and sovereignty under God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit in Trinity. Acknowledge the past, regenerate the present, and strive for the future with God. The commitment, in loving and in being loved, exceeds upon natural habitat and excels into supernatural realm under God. God lovingly destined them all.

Love inducted like burning wood into coal, firing coal into crystal, and faceting crystal into diamond; subjectively being considered as a symbol of an image of enduring love on earth. Love under God outlives everlastingly on earth as in heaven as God is omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence.

Through psychologist, anthropologist, scientologist, neurologist, oncologist, researchologist, biologist, and humanologist intensively study loveology; they arrived with a long list of knowledgeable information based upon different citing and findings on earth. Those theological discoveries might be underscored without the presence of divinology. God the Creator reveals the mystery of love as the perfect God of love and unveils the miracle of love to the imperfect lovers of God through His words and in deeds with His supernatural wisdom.

This book shares a promised effect of what love is, not just solely based upon worldly knowledge about human relationship, but together with special revelation of divine love messages of Almighty God. God the Creator is the ultimate perfect lover as God creates, cares and saves all His earthy created beings and things.

The challenge is, would humankind ignorantly bet in the plot of life before death by missing the resurrection from God’s salvation or totally chip in the plan of life before and after death by accepting the salvation from God’s promise and by opening the perfect gift of love under God’s perfect sovereignty.

My love in prayers to God the Creator for His created believers is that, in our personal experience of encountering physical and emotional involvement, we advanced love positively with Godly justification and Godly sanctification for Godly glorification. God gives, cares, and saves life. God’s inspiration is powerful. God’s doctrine is meaningful. God’s sovereignty is truthful. God’s purpose is visional. God’s will is perfection. God’s relationship is eternal. May we accept God’s truth, follow God’s way, and live God’s life. May we enter God’s family by accepting God as Savior and become children of God by His grace through faith living everlastingly on earth as in heaven. Love of and in God covers all sins and sets everything free. Sin was forgiven and death was conquered by God the Father begotten Son Jesus Christ, died on the cross for our sins and rose from the death for our salvation of life before and after death into eternity. That is the good news for all lovers and haters alike on earth. May the lovers of God being transformed into Love Champions is in fervor under the God of love.

‘My command is this: Love each other as I have

loved you. Greater love has no one than this,

that he lay down his life for his friends.’

John 15:12-13 NIV

INTRODUCTION

‘For God so loved the world that He gave His

one and only Son, that whoever believes in

Him shall not perish; but have eternal life.’

John 3:16 NIV

Nothing in the world lasts; love lasts. Nothing on earth lives; love lives. Nothing in life stays; love stays. Nothing takes after death; love takes.

Some lose love in a battle field and others find love in a mission field. Some love life after birth before death on earth and others love born again life before and after death on earth as in heaven. The right choice is in God the Creator. God forgives sins and never forsakes sinners. Lovers and haters alike under God’s salvation plan being justified and sanctified as Love Champions. The lovers of God are in the God of love being transformed into Love Champions.

Love witnesses humanity and testifies humility. All rightful loves are from God as God is righteous. God the Creator creates all beings and things. God is omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence. God made man and woman in His own image. Humans as created beings are wired with God’s love as God is love. Love is in the air as God creates air. To love and to be loved become a part of life and a purpose of living since the beginning of time forthcoming and forthgoing to the end of age. All created beings need love to be well beings. Love builds body, renews soul and restores spirit with God. Love inspires wisdom, develops strength, and generates power under God. Love protects, provides, and preserves well-being in God. Everyone is born of love as God the Creator is love. Did love, does love, and will do love at any given time and with any persons. No one is immune in love. Everybody is a liberator of love with God. Nobody is a transgressor of love under God. All lovers and haters alike are under the mercy and grace from God.

‘How priceless is Your unfailing love!

Both high and low among men finds

refuge in the shadow of your wings.’

Psalm 36:7 NIV

Love could be a choice in asceticism, egotism, and stoicism. Love would be a prize with socialism, communism, and spiritualism. Love in, from, and under God forgives sins and gives new life to His believers.

God the Creator created all beings and things. God created beings evolved all things overtime. Human’s love falls short in due time as life on earth is temporal. God’s love lasts long over as life before and after death on earth as in heaven. God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Resented love rejects God. The excuses of resenting love are similar to the reasons of rejecting God. Worldly reasonings of resenting love came consciously from bad experience, past episode, mean pride, diminished affection, unconcerned humility, imperfect existence, and inferior security; inclusively clouded the beneficial interests of resourceful belongings in love. Earthy excuses of rejecting God resulted from poor judgment, low self-esteem, accrued shame, accumulated guilt, and dull egotism; prevailingly obscured the almighty blessings of saving grace from God’s love. The problem of insecurity in living is in the solution of sovereignty in life. True love being recovered by God covered multitude of impurities and adversities. God hates wickedness and loves righteousness. God forgives sins and never forsakes sinners.

‘By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is

with me-a prayer to the God of my life.’

Psalm 42:8 NIV

Worldly love under God is willfully to put the beloved above self, to feel the passion with affection, to fleet intimacy with respect, to honor commitment with integrity, to embrace partnership with companionship, to exercise care with prudence, to practice kindness with generosity, to admit dependence with independence, and to accept salvation with humbleness; actively initiated the goodness of God with His favor of miraculous promises. The ultimate gift of God’s salvation good for all by God’s grace of having God’s begotten Son Jesus Christ died on the cross to forgive sins and rose up from death to give new life through faith to all His created followers.

Secular love lost in disagreement, hopelessness, dislike, guilt, shame, disloyalty, grief, dishonesty, worry, disapproval, sorrow, and discourtesy. Holy love gains in happiness, satisfaction, care, kindness, courtesy, peace, goodness, patience, and strength. Love discernment is from God. Humanly impossible is possible with God.

Love co-exists between affection and hatred, humbleness and pride, good and bad, clarification and confusion, kindness and rudeness, wholeness and brokenness, reception and rejection, independence and dependence, connection and isolation, well and sick, essential and non-essential, forgiving and condemnation, giving and receiving, peace and war, agreement and resentment, order and chaos, generosity and pitilessness, righteousness and evil, stability and insecurity, light and darkness, right and wrong, old and young, and heaven and hell. The lovers of God always prevail righteousness from wickedness upon the God of love.

‘For this very reason, make every

effort to add to your faith and

goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;

and to knowledge, self-control;

and to self-control, perseverance,

godliness; and to godliness;

brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.’

2 Peter 1:5-7 NIV

The God of love is never changing. God was, is, will be the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow for His glory. The love of God is a purposeful, willful, gracious, belonging, meaningful, satisfactory, fulfilling, peaceful, and joyful devotion unto God’s goodness and upon God’s glory.

The love of self is insignificant. The love of world is intangible. The love of Satan is inappropriate. The love of earthy gods is consequential. They discretionarily fell under the divine knowledge and wisdom of holy love. There is only one God among men that man must be resurrected and saved. The salvation plan from God to mankind is a free gift of eternity having life before and after death with God. Love is a series involvement with serious commitments. Love is a sympathetic empathy of passion. Love is a fascinated stimulation of sentiment. Love is a warm movement of excitability. Love is a progressive routine of sensation. Conclusively, love is an inlaid humanity of humility in mankind since the beginning of creation under God the Creator. God’s resurrection and salvation for human imperfect love is the ultimate relief provided by His grace through belief. The relief of stressful love is restored by having God into the equation and formula of love. Without God, love fades and fails in time. With God, love lasts and lives everlastingly as God is omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipotence.

‘Rend your heart and not your garments.

Return to the Lord your God,

For He is gracious and compassionate,

slow to anger and abounding in love,

And He relents from sending calamity.’

Joel 2:13 NIV

Love is in God and God is of love. God created all beings. God foreknows all things about love. God foregrounds entire rules for love. God foretells full endurance under love. God foreshadows total condition about love. God foresees whole admonition upon love. God forebears with the armor of God in truth, righteousness, peace, joy, kindness, goodness, patience, and love for our protection for His glory. Good to love and lost, better to love and found, and best to love and to be loved. Any lovers had a good or bad past; every lover has a better or worse present; and all lovers will have the best or the worst. The difference is with God or without God in their love lives.

Love life is a changeable challenge between falling in love and falling out love at any given time. Falling in love inspires affection, fondness, attachment, passion, admiration, caring, attention, commitment, and endurance; and falling out of love induces dissatisfaction, imperfection, misunderstanding, distrust, condemnation, isolation, fight, and flight; constantly required adjustment and discernment between what, why, when, where, and who love is under God.

Expecting the beloved one to fulfill the wants and needs in life is humanly impossible. Everything and every being are created by God the Creator. Every impossible among man is possible with God. By anchoring all loves under God’s sovereignty, believed lovers are willingly to be justified and to be sanctified by God’s grace through faith. Abiding all relationship with certainty of long lasting love is from and with God. God cares and redeems all His created beings with His perfect love.

‘Blessed is the man who perseveres

under trial, because when

he has stood the test, he will receive

the crown of life that God

has promised to those who love Him.’

James 1:12 NIV

By studying the meaning of love with general knowledge through worldly media and by seeking the true essence of love with special revelation through holy wisdom could be challenging and would be rewarding. The searching of true love consciously and subconsciously ended up finding the only true God the Creator as Savior. Being saved by God the Father as Savior, being justified by God the Son Jesus Christ as Reconciliator, and being sanctified by God the Holy Spirit as Counselor; is the ultimate salvation to all believed lovers. God is the answer behind what, why, when, who and where love is to be presented.

Psychology, anthology, scientology, sociology, physiology, biology, hematology, philology, histology, deontology, financialogy, survivology, and epistemology knowledgeably analyze loveology. They carried the torch of love with fire of affection. Love, being identified as intimacy, passion, and commitment, comprehends intimacy of closeness, passion of connectedness, and commitment of belonging; altogether set on fire as the likely ideality in worldly love. Willingly to forgive, to give, to attend, to engage, and to share with attachment, bondage, patronage, sentiment, ownership, and fidelity intentionally abided the notability of loveliness and the supremacy of holiness under the covenant between God and His created beings. That is the power of love under the purposeful redemption and the willful salvation by God’s grace through faith.

Love is relational and love is spiritual. Love being classified as Philistia-self love, as Storge-familial love, as Ludus-playful love, as Eros-romantic love, as Mania-obsessive love, as Pragma-practical love, as Phileo-friendly love, and as Agape-Godly love; collectively represented loves on earth. What’s seen in world is known to man, and what’s unseen on earth is known to God. God is invisibly omnipresence. God is infinitely omniscience. God is almightily omnipotence. God foreknows them with understanding and foretells them with expectation. They all are under God’s resurrection and salvation plan.

Love rumbled in attitude, behavior, relationship, and belief. No love, no belonging. No belonging, no relationship. No relationship, no favor. No favor, no blessing. No blessing, no love. Yes love, yes life. Yes life, yes purpose. Yes purpose, yes will. Yes will, yes holiness. Yes holiness, yes salvation. Yes salvation, yes sovereignty. Yes sovereignty, yes love. God loves. God blesses. God saves His created things and beings with love. The lovers of God are in the God of love.

‘Ask and it will be given to you; seek

and you will find; knock and

the door will be opened to you. Foe

everyone who asks receives; the one

who seeks finds; and to the one who

knocks, the door will be opened.’

Matthew 7:7-8 NIV

Love journey of emotional euphoria released dopamine, vasopressin, oxztocin, adrenaline, and norepinephine; chemically to excite hormones for well beings. Love trip of affectionate infatuation induced goodness, kindness, gratitude, thankfulness, joy, and faithfulness; passionately to invite holiness for holy body. Practical sentimentality produced caring, respect, sensation, compassion, intimacy, and commitment; entirely to anchor integrity. Biological association involved affection, urge, passion, addiction, and feeling; completely to dictate stability. Mental desire raised happiness, anxiety, worry, comfort, belonging, and affirmation; collectively to stable character. Physical morality induced lust, intimacy, aggression, and affection; eventually to expose undesired behavior. All lovers subconsciously and consciously learned from God’s perfect love under those challenges in their love lives. Having difficulty to love when trust lost, when compassion evaporated, when security threatened, and when commitment mislaid; could be intimidating. Being even harder to be loved when physical disabled, when mental unsounded, when financial unplanned, and when spiritual minimized; would be foreshadowing. Some feel no love from the beloved and others love no matter what the beloved did. Love others as self. God the Creator loves first so love others as self.

God acknowledged good works and rewards those who exercised His holy deeds in words and in actions. Let us love the way God loves. Human resolution in love might not be good enough. Being not good enough is good enough with God. Any impossible on earth is possible in God. God redeems and saves them all. The lovers of God are under the God of love into Love Champions.

God is love and God is perfect. God’s love is perfect. To reject love is to reject God. Worldly love is conditional and Holy love is unconditional. Earthy love is temporal and Heavenly love is eternal. Human love is inadequate and Godly love is abundant. The lovers of God is in the God of love as Love Champions under God by grace through faith having life before and after death everlastingly with God as God’s children..

‘But you, O Lord, are a compassionate

and gracious God,

Slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.’

Psalm 86:15 NIV

LOVE

Love with God sanctifies love.

Everyone did love, does love, and will love at any given time to any ready persons in any available opportunity in life.

Love could choose under asceticism, stoicism, and egotism; and love would choose within socialism, communism, and spiritualism. Love sustains humanity and impacts humility. Love involves body, soul, and spirit. Love demands time, attention, and sacrifice. Love requires respect, hospitality, caring, accountability, and responsibility. Love evolves intimacy, passion, and commitment. Love overcomes adversity. Love meets needs. Love conquers loneliness. Love eases discomfort. Love overcomes insecurity. Love opens solidity. Love forgives wrongs. Love gives right. Love unlocks relationship. Love enters partnership. Love softens hatred. Love heals sickness. Love finds loss. Love settles difference. Love promotes kindness. Love enjoys peace. Love covers sins. Love enhances an unlimited quality of living within a limited quantity of life upon temporal existence on earth. Love in man is about passion, intimacy, and commitment. Love under God is all about covenants, commandments, and salvation.

Love lasts when nothing stays. Love gives memory. Nothing on earth lasts; love stays. Past experience could cloud how to love and to be loved. Resenting love and refusing to be loved invite unhealthy lifestyle. Love, being in touch within family, friends, colloquies, neighbors and community with passion and affection stimulates healthy living with peace and joy. Scientologist, neurologist, biologist, psychologist, philologist, humanologist, and researchologist studied loveology; subsequentially presented with personal findings and consequentially rendered the spectrum of relational humanity and humility. Affection, affirmation, intimacy, passion, commitment, sacrifice, trail, compassion, lust, desire, money, temptation, greed, fame, power, strength, guilt, shame, possession, goodness, kindness, forgiveness, giving, mercy, and grace; being mixed into a large pot of love; desperately needed to separate out and discerned to be clarified. Worldly love is evolved, seen, known, exposed, experienced, expressed, and exercised under influential traditions, custom, and culture. Earthy love is functioned, materialized, displayed, and involved under underlined practice, application, and exposure. Godly love is pre-existed, foreknown, predesigned, foretold, predestined, foreprepared, and preordained under God’s truth, holiness, and sovereignty. Natural love has been cared of and has been attended upon with supernatural redemption and salvation plan from God the Creator for His created beings.

Some see love in a box of chocolate sweetening up a deep affection. Some regard love in a box of matches firing up a desired companionship. Some accept love in a box of musical melody reviving an unfailing relationship. Some conclude in a box of clean-X wiping out an emotional maneuver. Others find love in a box of Godies of goodness resurrecting up an imperfect love.

Worldly love is passion, intimacy, and commitment. Godly love is covenant, commandment, and salvation. Love is affectionate, caring, relational, universal, emotional, romantic, passionate, intimate, and committed. Love less self and much God; love much goodness and less evil. Love little want and more need; love more happiness and little sadness. All lovers and haters are under the mercy and grace of God the Creator. God creates all creation. God made man and woman in His image. God foreknew the agony of love and foretold His salvation plan of passion through
