YHWH as the Reason to Love

I am not knocking AHYH (Ehyeh) meaning "I AM" nor YHWH meaning "He is," as they do in the Oracles of the Jews. It is just that God does not seem to make as big a deal about His being the Uncaused Cause of Everything as He does about His being the source of Love and the reason for loving. God's revealing Himself in Arabic in Exodus 3:14 to be the Impassioned Consciousness of the Ineffable makes more sense.

"Do not worship another god, because the Lord's name is Devoted,* for He is the God of Devotion" (Exodus 34:14 Alexander). God is not jealous of any other god; He is impassioned, devoted to His loved ones. He is impassioned benevolence; this is His nature.

"And the Lord descended in a cloud and stood with him there and called the name of the Lord* (note the Trinity here). The Lord, then, passed before him, and the Lord declared, "The Lord is Merciful, Gracious, Generous* of Spirit -- His Grace and Zeal are bountiful; Who safeguards grace for thousands of generations,* who forgives sins and obligations, but who absolutely does not sanctify* [those who sin and fail their duties;] however, He does command the love of parents upon their children and upon their children's children, to the third and fourth generations" Exodus 34:5-7 Alexander, emphasis and parenthesis mine). Notice how this verse has been mistranslated in every other translation!

"[My] beloved, love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves, is born from God and knows God. Because God is love, and whoever loves not, knows not God. By this is demonstrated* the love of God for us, that God sent His only Son to the world so that we may live in His hand.* This is how love was born,* it was not that we loved God, except it was God who loved us and sent us His Son redeemer* on behalf of our sins.* [My beloved,] if God loves us like this, (and) we too ought to love one another. God no human being has ever seen. But if we love one another, God shall strengthen Himself in us and His love shall be fulfilled through us.* And by this we know that we have been strengthened by Him and He is strengthened in us, that of His Spirit He gives us. And we have seen and we testify that the Father sent His Son, Savior of the universe.* Whoever confesses in Jesus, that their ultimate hope is the Son of God, God shall strengthen Himself in them, and they shall be strengthened in God. And we believed and understood the love that there is with God, our Advocate*. For God is love and whoever is strengthened in Love, shall be strengthened in God. And through this is fulfilled His love in us, that we can [stand] with exposed faces on the Day of Judgment, for just as He had, so also we have come into this world. There is no submission* in love, except love [that is] wholesome*, throws out submissiveness because submission has its torment. For whoever submits out of fear (i.e., Pharisaicly, because God is the Great "I AM" uncaused cause), is not filled* with love. We therefore love God like this, because from the first He loved us. If these a human being says that "I love God," but hates their brother, they are liars. For if they do not love their brother who is visible, how can they find it possible to love God who is invisible? And this commandment we received from him, that whoever loves God, loves also their brother." (1 John 4:7-21 Alexander, emphases and parenthesis mine).

Perhaps manifestation is not by the Law of Assumption as much as it is by the Law of Love.

"Amen, amen, I say to you, if [the] human [being] is not born from above*, they cannot see the Kingdom of God. . . . Whoever is born of the Spirit, is of the Spirit. Do not be surprised that [they] tell you, that it is expected of you to be born from above. The Spirit moves [you] for [the sake of] its own fulfillment. . . . Just as Moses lifted the darkness by the light of life (LOVE!!), this is how you should glorify* the Son of Man. So that every human [being] who believes in him does not [go to] oblivion, except that they may have life everlasting*. For this is how [much] God loved humanity, that he gave forth his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him does not perish*, except that they may have life everlasting. For God did not send his Son to the world* to condemn people, except that people shall live* by his hand*" (John 3:3, 6-8, 14-17 Alexander, emphases and parenthesis mine).

"If I speak in every human language and that of the angels, and yet I have no love in me, it is as though I were like bronze that reverberates or cymbals that make noise. And if there is in me prophesy and I know all the sermons and have all knowledge, and if there was in me all the faith, whereas I could move a mountain, and yet there was no love in me, I would be nothing. And if I fed everything to the poor, and if I deliver my body to be burned, and yet there was no love in me, I would again be nothing. Love transforms the spirit and fulfills it. Love is not bigoted. Love does not burden, nor curry favor. And [love] does not set conditions and does not act selfishly, and it does not find fault,* And [love] does not rejoice in abomination, except delights in sincerity. [Love] ministers to everything, trusts in everything, wherever there is hope, wherever there is sacrifice. Love never fails" (1 Corinthians 13:1-8 Alexander).

Time would fail me if I were to try to list everything the Bible says of the Love of God. But I recently watched a YouTube video (Man Dies; Shown Shocking Truth About Creation And Why Were Here [NDE]) where the guy (Vinny Tolman) died and experienced the Love of God in the light emanating from everything in heaven (21:00 in the video). At least listen from 10:00, or especially 14:20--we are here to create and embody Love like the Source we are OF.
