The word "baptize" can be traced to simply mean to "make whelmed" or to "overwhelm"
Love is a subject that has been discussed since the beginning of man’s awareness. And, man has come up with every explanation possible to describe what love is, and to this day man is still asking, “What is Love?” The Bible specifically tells us that “God is Love,” yet the question remains, because we still have not fully understood God and how God thinks.
The Very Nature of God is Love
Volumes have been written about the characteristics of God, but when it is distilled to the most basic categories, He is love (1 John 4:8), life (Jeremiah 10:10; Revelation 22:1), and holiness (Psalms 99:9). And in reality, His life and holiness are based upon and are an expression of His love: love gives, so He gives life; love desires the best, so holiness proceeds from Him.
Love is not something he chooses to do or give. It is the very essence of who He is. He doesn't just love-He is love (1 John 4:16). It motivates His every action, directs His activities, and reflects His desires (1 John 4:10). Love is the greatest and purest essence of who a person is and its proper expression brings fulfillment.
