A foundation that is built on Gods Word will contain many bricks.But there are two bricks that must be a part of everyones foundation. The first brick is love.Everything we do in life, all of our dealings with family, friends, and all people must be based on love.1 John 4:16 says that," God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.1 John 3:23 tells us that "This is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment." And also 1 Corinthians 13:13 "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." The next brick that must be in our foundation is forgiveness. Matthew 6 14-15 says, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.But, if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither wil your Father forgive your trespasses.Ephesians 4:30-32 tells us "do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you."
God is love, 1 John 4:16
