That’s like saying I don’t want to share the word of God with a non-Christian. Everyone has a beginning and we should hope and pray that he comes to God’s light.
I had this song played at my husband’s funeral. It would bring him to tears as he struggled with drug addiction. I chose “I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God” as the inscription on his headstone. I believe he’s at peace now with Jesus. 💜
Leonardo, God does not have love, HE IS LOVE! What I am seeing: You wanted to know what the line "Love has called my name"meant. Yes, it means God called his name, and I strongly believe He is calling yours, also!
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. I John 4:7-11 NKJV bible.com/bible/114/1jn.4.7-11.NKJV

I love your videos God bless you!!!! Your amazing!!! Keep doing what you do!!!
I love that you're listening to this! This song was the song I was saved to!!! It was from that moment Jesus freed me from fear and other strongholds 🥳🙌🙏 God is good!!!
"No Longer Slaves" has proved to be one of the most popular of the contemporary Christian songs. And I believe it has great staying power. You may hear tens of Christian songs and forget. But this will stick in your mind after so many others are gone. And it has staying power for good reason. You notice even the singers are so excited as passing through the same process of deliverance themselves. This is so uplifting. Precisely the liberation from fear and submission to God. So basically a song of hope in times of trouble where Christians are passing through difficulties or as individuals overwhelmed by despair. The lyrics could easily apply to any believer not just Christians. So in that sense it is a universal song.
Johnathan and Melissa are actually prophesying the truth into our spirit through the song. It breaks every boandage and set us free. That's how powerful the song really is.
The lyrics can ONLY apply to Christians cos fear is part of being human (our unregenerate, natural carnal state). ONLY by being born again of the Spirit (which is what a Christian is: John 112-13, Romans 8:9b, 8:14) can the spiritual bondage to fear be broken. According to the Bible, every person on earth is either regenerate (born again, made spiritually alive) and a child of God (John 1:12-13, 3:3-8, Titus 3:5) or unregenerate and a child of the devil. Every living person is either carnal i.e at enmity with God (Romans 8:7) or else spiritual i.e reconciled, united with God and with Jesus indwelling by His Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:5, John 14:16-17, Romans 5:5, Ephesians 2:1-3). Note how in the verse below it says regenerate Christians do not fear cos our sins are forgiven, we no longer fear death or God's wrath and He has given us His Spirit! The lost and unregenerate can NEVER have this peace, this FREEDOM FROM FEAR forever: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love" (1st John 4:18) "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7)
And the version of this by The Newsboys is truly beautiful. Michael Tait puts so much feeling into songs. The Spirit definitely is in him & comes out for all to hear. Listen to their version please. God bless you!!!!
How can you have been any better suited to do these reactions? You never have a loss for words to help us the viewers feel what the musicians contribute to a song. I never knew what I was missing only listening to the words and the vocals. Thank you.
Dude I so love to watch your videos not because of your critiquing of the songs but because every time I see Jesus just wrap His arms around you and speak love to your spirit. He is so in love with you that it is clearly seen. Thank you for blessing me and ya i totally agree with everyone else...longing to see the Christian reaction title...be blessed brother, be blessed!!
Leonardo I have known God since I was 7 and trust me man what I see in you is a man looking to seek God and wanting to see what it's all about open your heart man it's not easy whoever says serving God is easy is a liar I can assure you that, but it is all worth it man, the days we live in are the end of times seek God man, I won't lie to you man for 5 years I left the church I did my thing and saw what it was all about and let me tell you God is the way man I pray one day God comes to your life and allows you to see his love and Mercy I pray for you brother you're an inspiration to many God bless
Yay! I’ve been requesting this song for weeks! Its very special to me! It help me during a time of anxiety, it allowed me to trust God and let him take the wheel, not allow fear/anxiety to take control over my life and surrender all to him ❤️
I’ve been so excited for you to react to this song, it’s my life anthem. The coolest thing about this worship songs is that people listening and singing along are connecting their personal testimony. As we sing , we are praising God in His very throne room. I connect to so deeply because God has worked in my heart and life in these same ways. It might be interesting for you to look into the testimony of these artists because most of them have gone through really horrific life events and it makes their worship and these lyrics so much more meaningful.
I love how you are growing closer to God's call on your life! I can't wait to read the title...CHRISTIAN response, lol! I am so looking forward to your testimony! I hope you feel how much you are loved and how important you are to God to be reaching out to you through music! Love sharing this experience with you❣
In the Bible 1 John 4:16-18 says this: We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. That is where we as believers get God is love!!!
I love these videos so much, and I love this song. I've found that as Christians we sometimes become so complacent in our faith, so it's so important and special seeing someone react to these beautiful songs for the first time. Songs that were written not only to glorify God and worship Him, but to touch our hearts and draw us to Him. This song always brings tears to my eyes and just renews my spirit. Thank you for doing what your doing and allowing God to use you. Thank you for being obedient to the voice of God, I don't think you might even realize it, but you're teaching a lot of people how to be obedient to the voice of God by doing this. May God bless you, and may you know that you are highly favoured by the Father. ♥️ He knows your name and He has called you.
Ps you’re teaching me to appreciate music deeper...I’ve shared your videos w/ my worship leader...Jesus, music, and laughter so so important in my life to live.....from Connecticut....God blessings to you & your gifts....
I’ve been watching your non Christian reaction videos daily and in watching you experience these songs for the first time, I find myself with goosebumps and tears in my eyes over songs I’ve heard hundreds of times. I’ve been sending these videos to my Christian friends hoping they experience the same reaffirmation of faith I do. Thank you 🙏🏼
@toweroftorres - Leo, "Love has called my name" - We believe that God is love. Not just a great spirit, but THE Great Spirit who knows us. When he says that lyric, he literally means that God has called to us. There is a scripture that says, "He knit us together in our mother's womb" in other words my brother, He KNOWS US. Like all the way thru He knows us. So yes, when he says "Love has called my name" we know that God (love embodied in spirit and in flesh) looked down from heaven and called to us long before we were ever made. Love you my brother, keep doin' it and keep thinking and feeling.

Leonardo thank you for reviewing this song. It's one of my all time favorites. Love has called my name is God calling our name. I love the passion of the song and the different nuances of the music. Also love both Melisa and Jonathan's voices. I'm glad you enjoyed it God bless you and your family
Leonardo; just found this channel today. Praying for you as you continue this journey to God's loving arms. Thank you for these real and raw reactions. No matter how many steps we take away from Him, it's only one step back to Him.
I love how they slowly change from Male lead to female to sing the high notes build up. Was very smooth that I only notice because I was watching the video lol Love your explanation and expression for all these songs you’ve done. Makes me see and listen to songs differently!
It’s nice to share our experiences with others when we listen to these amazing songs! I love your reactions! Keep them coming!! This song in Spanish brings chills! 🙌🏽
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5 NIV But now thus says the Lord , he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life. Isaiah 43:1-4 ESV For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Psalm 139:13-15 ESV
Wow, brother! What an awesome gift God has given you to literally pick every piece out of music and enjoy every part alone and then put it back together. The imagery you talked about was beautiful. It's like what God intended for it to be, you were able to put it into words. So glory to God for this gift. Thanks for sharing.
Yesss!! Idk if he speaks Spanish but like “cuerdas de amor” by Julio Melgar is also amazing!!! Especially when he sings it with his son during one of his last concerts
For king and country for sure! Their song “Shoulders”, or “God only knows” or “burn the ships” are all so good. I saw them live. It was so beautiful being in their audience and feeling the love and good intentions of all the people there. ❤️
Your appreciation for how the instruments express the meaning... like the cymbals and ocean crashing... your interpretations and first reads are awesome.
One of my all time favorites, this couple is so talented and love God so much, super talented, yes they mean Love has called my name means God has called my name
Yes!! as Christians we believe Gods son Jesus died to save our souls . That's how much God loves you. The bible say that even if there was only one Jesus still would have come and died for you. God invites everyone to believe and be saved. That's the love that calls your name. He loves you right where you are right now and his love never changes!!
Jonathan cowrote this song with Brian Johnson, son of Bill Johnson. Brian is the pastor/leader of Bethel Music. His book, When God becomes Real, is an inspiring read. He suffered with fear and anxiety. The title comes from when he suffered a particular attack and was on a gurney about to be tken to the hospital. He looked over at his young children and said, "This is when God becomes real." After six months that included hospitalization and drugs to control the fear, God delivered him from all fear and anxiety. So, when I hear the lyrics...I'm no longer a slave of fear," I always tear up thinking of Brian's story. There are many videos from Bethel of Brian and Jenn Johnson.
I enjoyed the instruments and the raw grittiness of his voice. So glad that you can react to Bethel music now. 🤗 I know many people were asking for it.
The background story is that Jonathan's mom had cancer, and there was a prophetic voice in their community that came to his parents and told them that his mom was going to have a son, and they would name him Jonathan David. She was healed of cancer, and a year later became pregnant with Jonathan. That whole verse is a nod to that, "From my mother's womb, you have chosen me, Love has called my name." They host a creative discipleship school every year. They teach about the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). During the Father week, one year this song came from a powerful session. They sang it as a community for years before it developed into the song that it is now, so when Melissa sang it was out of a place of knowing and believing what she was singing. They are the real deal. It is beautiful to see you so affected by it!
La Familia! Sorry I had to go to bed before the premiere. I’ve watched the replay twice this morning. OMG this is probably the best song so far. It hits me right in the heart. I’m not Christian but when they sing “I am a child of God”, I picture it like God is the collective consciousness we all came from. Or like if you replace God with Love, it’s saying I am a child of Love. I don’t see it linear. Instead of “ First I was a slave to fear and then I became a child of God”, I see it as “ I was a slave to fear until I remembered that I’ve always been a child of God.” A HUGE thanks to Leonardo Torres for leading the way in showing me how non-Christians can love worship music too!
“When you singing from the spirit, it really doesn’t matter that your voice cracks” “The passion balances the skill” I really needed to hear this😭😭😭 I have this thing, that I always criticize myself in singing (my calling from God is to be in music, in singing). God said to me one time “It doesn’t matter if you are perfect, I see your heart, and I love it”, and your words reminded me those words, that God said to me.😭❤️ I believe, that it might God talked to me through you God bless you🤍
Surrounded (how I fight my battles) by upper room is my recommendation. This was the song that pulled me back when I felt my faith was running dry. It reminded me that through every battle, God is with me. He will surround me with his love, even when I turn away and doubt him again and again, I am surrounded by him
Yes, Love means God. Because it's the why He chose to do what he did on he cross for everyone. He loved us so he chose die for allow us freedom, peace, be saved from sin and stay with him in heavens when he returns again. He wanted us since the beginning, so He created us and met with Adan and Eve every day on the garden to talk and stay with them. And he wants us to be as he is and see the thinks and people like He does. 😊
There are a couple Bible verses that specifically say "God is love." 1 John 4:8- But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4:16- "We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them." Both of these are in a larger passage, 1 John 4:7-21, which talks about loving each other in light of how God loves us. It's a beautiful passage and I highly recommend it :) So happy you reacted to this! I was hoping you would :)
God is love. Knowing this deepend my relationship with God as the word "God" no longer had a stigma of rules attached to it. It deepened into a relationship of protection. So beautiful.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is 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, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV
Yes you got it! That is exactly what he meant because as Christians we believe God IS love and that when He calls us by name! That love itself calls us by name! And there is nothing that compares.
I love seeing you so into this one. I went through a time of life full of fear and had to sing this song to myself a lot. One of my favorites for sure!
You,Leonardo, are already a beliver. Just acknowlege it, and He, will direct your paths. God loves you so much, you, are a loving person. May God always be with you!❤✝️
Hey Leo! I'm so glad you listened to this one!!! Please listen to Zach Williams version at the prison. Doesn't have to be a reaction video, but he sings it in a way that is just so raw! And to see the guys in the prison praise is so powerful!!! Tbis song is actually my ringtone on my phone lol
Jonathan's voice probably cracked because these songs can be very moving emotionally, a reaction to the Spirit of God that surrounds us. Love has indeed called me His.
Yes, love has called my name...Jesus. The price He paid for us (brutally, painfully crucified to forgive us) that sacrificial love should call/speak to us all.
" Revival's in the air" is a masterpiece they just released in Bethel Music! Melissa sings with so much passion and you are compelled to dance and sing, and all the instruments are just PURE JOY!
I like watching your reaction, it gave me an appreciation for music especially christian music. Since watching your videos I've been able to hear individual instruments and appreciate how they come together to create masterpieces. I havent been able to do that in other music, it has just been "music" if you get my drift. God bless and looking forward to more of your work.
Regarding “Love has called my name,” the message is definitely that God has initiated a relationship through calling us by name. God knows us by name. He made us, individually. His love is personal and intimate. So the song is saying, “Love (the essence of Who God is) has called to me from the beginning. Love knows me by name. I am not random. I am intentionally loved and chosen.”
Leonardo Torres Music, believe me when I say that the same God Who formed the universe knows you personally by name. I enjoy your videos and appreciate your perspective 🎶❤️

WOOOO 😁😁😁 one of my absolute favorites!! One of the most powerful songs I've found for sure!! Haha you appreciate the purity of music in a way I've rarely seen. God IS love brother!! Source IS love!! So of course LOVE is calling your name!! You are being called to remember YOUR song brother, and sing it proudly!!! 😁😁💞💖💞💖💞👑💎👑
I don't see a none-christian reaction I see a heart wanting to know God.
I agree ☝️ and hope one day he would be a great Christian ✝️
SAME HERE. 🙂
Amen, perfectly said.
Yes! In the name of Jesus !
That’s like saying I don’t want to share the word of God with a non-Christian. Everyone has a beginning and we should hope and pray that he comes to God’s light.
Leonardo I pray that eventually these videos will no longer be “non-christian reacts” one day. I can see the spirit moving in you.
amen ! i just said the same thing !! 🙌
Me too. Invite Jesus in Leo
Love these so much.
Woooh such a good song
The album video is so special out in the mountain side.
I had this song played at my husband’s funeral. It would bring him to tears as he struggled with drug addiction. I chose “I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God” as the inscription on his headstone. I believe he’s at peace now with Jesus. 💜
The Bible says “God is love.” So yes! That’s what they mean by that lyric
You need to do Everything in Miami by Hillsong United
I was going to say that too.
Love it bro! You should check out “Raise a Hallelujah” also by Jonathan and Melissa Helser. It’s a powerful song with a story behind it.
Leonardo, God does not have love, HE IS LOVE! What I am seeing: You wanted to know what the line "Love has called my name"meant. Yes, it means God called his name, and I strongly believe He is calling yours, also!
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

I love how there is a great faith moving on in the comments yes!!!

In the Bible 1 John 4:16-18 says this:

Leonardo; just found this channel today. Praying for you as you continue this journey to God's loving arms. Thank you for these real and raw reactions. No matter how many steps we take away from Him, it's only one step back to Him.
"The spirit balances the scale" wow 😍
I love how they slowly change from Male lead to female to sing the high notes build up. Was very smooth that I only notice because I was watching the video lol Love your explanation and expression for all these songs you’ve done. Makes me see and listen to songs differently!
i love this song, love Johnathan and Melissa Helser.
This came out on our country's indépendance day and I truly thank God for working through to get many touched by his Love ❤️❤️ be blessed
I love the vocalist!!!
got chills when he said “it’s so full” and then immediately after that she said “full of faith” and i was like “ahhh heck yesss”
This was great. Fantastic reaction as well.
Ohh wow. I stayed with them one week in North Carolina. Had a worship week. It was amazing
this is my favorite song. brings me to tears every single time.
Raise a hallelujah by Jonathan and Melissa but make sure to see the live version to hear the backstory so good !!!! :-)
One of my favorite Christian songs.l just Love this song.Thank you!
It’s nice to share our experiences with others when we listen to these amazing songs! I love your reactions! Keep them coming!!
This song in Spanish brings chills! 🙌🏽
You are such a kind soul, Leonardo. It shines through in your videos
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Jeremiah 1:5 NIV
But now thus says the Lord , he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.
Isaiah 43:1-4 ESV
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Psalm 139:13-15 ESV
Thank you so much
Wow, brother! What an awesome gift God has given you to literally pick every piece out of music and enjoy every part alone and then put it back together. The imagery you talked about was beautiful. It's like what God intended for it to be, you were able to put it into words. So glory to God for this gift. Thanks for sharing.
DONT EVEEEEEEER STOP! I LOVE WATCHING YOUR REACTIONS!!! Support and prayers from Brazil ♥
Hey Leonardo! Yes God is Love. So God is calling your name! It's really awesome to see your pure enjoyment of the small musical details!
Love this song and how passionate the singer was about what he was singing. Thank you.
I love how you visualise what you’re hearing with your hand actions and pictures you get (like the waves crashing). So cool!
Such a great song. One of my favorite. Thanks mate, keep them coming 👍
This is one of my all-time favorites
Listen to this in Spanish!! "Ya no soy esclavo " by Julio Melgar ft Christine D'Clario
Omggg yes ! The one where he’s rlly sick before he dies 😭😭😭
I love that version ❤️
Yesss!! Idk if he speaks Spanish but like “cuerdas de amor” by Julio Melgar is also amazing!!! Especially when he sings it with his son during one of his last concerts
I also really like "Estas Aqui" by Julio.
For king and country for sure! Their song “Shoulders”, or “God only knows” or “burn the ships” are all so good. I saw them live. It was so beautiful being in their audience and feeling the love and good intentions of all the people there. ❤️
I saw this video pop up and got pretty excited, because I asked for this song and you delivered. Thank you! 😃
Your appreciation for how the instruments express the meaning... like the cymbals and ocean crashing... your interpretations and first reads are awesome.
One of my all time favorites, this couple is so talented and love God so much, super talented, yes they mean Love has called my name means God has called my name
Yes!! as Christians we believe Gods son Jesus died to save our souls . That's how much God loves you. The bible say that even if there was only one Jesus still would have come and died for you. God invites everyone to believe and be saved. That's the love that calls your name. He loves you right where you are right now and his love never changes!!
Jonathan cowrote this song with Brian Johnson, son of Bill Johnson. Brian is the pastor/leader of Bethel Music. His book, When God becomes Real, is an inspiring read. He suffered with fear and anxiety. The title comes from when he suffered a particular attack and was on a gurney about to be tken to the hospital. He looked over at his young children and said, "This is when God becomes real." After six months that included hospitalization and drugs to control the fear, God delivered him from all fear and anxiety. So, when I hear the lyrics...I'm no longer a slave of fear," I always tear up thinking of Brian's story. There are many videos from Bethel of Brian and Jenn Johnson.
I could watch and listen to you dissect these songs all day!!! Love how you help me hear each intricate piece. Beautiful translation! Thank you!
I enjoyed the instruments and the raw grittiness of his voice. So glad that you can react to Bethel music now. 🤗 I know many people were asking for it.
Love this song! Definitely one of my favorites. The bridge especially hits me every time, love shamelessly shouting it at the top of my lungs :)
The background story is that Jonathan's mom had cancer, and there was a prophetic voice in their community that came to his parents and told them that his mom was going to have a son, and they would name him Jonathan David. She was healed of cancer, and a year later became pregnant with Jonathan. That whole verse is a nod to that, "From my mother's womb, you have chosen me, Love has called my name."
They host a creative discipleship school every year. They teach about the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). During the Father week, one year this song came from a powerful session. They sang it as a community for years before it developed into the song that it is now, so when Melissa sang it was out of a place of knowing and believing what she was singing. They are the real deal.
It is beautiful to see you so affected by it!
I saw your reaction brother when the lyrics went, From my mother's womb you have chosen me. Love has called my name.
I knew God did something in you
I love your reactions Leonardo, always honest and true
love this song❤️ Thank God for this
La Familia! Sorry I had to go to bed before the premiere. I’ve watched the replay twice this morning. OMG this is probably the best song so far. It hits me right in the heart.
I’m not Christian but when they sing “I am a child of God”, I picture it like God is the collective consciousness we all came from. Or like if you replace God with Love, it’s saying I am a child of Love.
I don’t see it linear. Instead of “ First I was a slave to fear and then I became a child of God”, I see it as “ I was a slave to fear until I remembered that I’ve always been a child of God.”
A HUGE thanks to Leonardo Torres for leading the way in showing me how non-Christians can love worship music too!
Dear Pam, you're only a child of God if you receive Jesus and believe in His name. See John 1:12. We're all God's creation, but not all His children.
HERE AS IN HEAVEN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE !!!!!
“When you singing from the spirit, it really doesn’t matter that your voice cracks”
“The passion balances the skill”
I really needed to hear this😭😭😭 I have this thing, that I always criticize myself in singing (my calling from God is to be in music, in singing). God said to me one time “It doesn’t matter if you are perfect, I see your heart, and I love it”, and your words reminded me those words, that God said to me.😭❤️
I believe, that it might God talked to me through you
God bless you🤍
beautifully reacted. I notice, please always end your video which part of the song hits you.
Surrounded (how I fight my battles) by upper room is my recommendation.
This was the song that pulled me back when I felt my faith was running dry. It reminded me that through every battle, God is with me. He will surround me with his love, even when I turn away and doubt him again and again, I am surrounded by him
Yes, Love means God. Because it's the why He chose to do what he did on he cross for everyone. He loved us so he chose die for allow us freedom, peace, be saved from sin and stay with him in heavens when he returns again. He wanted us since the beginning, so He created us and met with Adan and Eve every day on the garden to talk and stay with them. And he wants us to be as he is and see the thinks and people like He does. 😊
There are a couple Bible verses that specifically say "God is love."
1 John 4:8- But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love."
1 John 4:16- "We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them."
Both of these are in a larger passage, 1 John 4:7-21, which talks about loving each other in light of how God loves us. It's a beautiful passage and I highly recommend it :)
So happy you reacted to this! I was hoping you would :)
God is love. Knowing this deepend my relationship with God as the word "God" no longer had a stigma of rules attached to it. It deepened into a relationship of protection. So beautiful.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is 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, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV
Yes you got it! That is exactly what he meant because as Christians we believe God IS love and that when He calls us by name! That love itself calls us by name! And there is nothing that compares.
I love seeing you so into this one. I went through a time of life full of fear and had to sing this song to myself a lot. One of my favorites for sure!
I’m going through a really tough time, this video and your reaction to Oceans touched me. Thank you so much.
You,Leonardo, are already a beliver. Just acknowlege it, and He, will direct your paths. God loves you so much, you, are a loving person. May God always be with you!❤✝️
Absolutely! The Bible literally describes God as love. Love incarnate. He is the essence of it and the source
Rough but beautiful! 🥰 The Spirit makes everything satisfying 😉
Love your thoughtful feedback 💛 I always notice new things when you talk about what you hear/see in different songs!
"God is love" and "I have called you by your name" are some of the key parts of the Bible and as a Christian, so yes this is exactly what it means.
This is one of my favourite worship songs
Hey Leo! I'm so glad you listened to this one!!! Please listen to Zach Williams version at the prison. Doesn't have to be a reaction video, but he sings it in a way that is just so raw! And to see the guys in the prison praise is so powerful!!! Tbis song is actually my ringtone on my phone lol
This is my life song! Thank you for including this! ❤️
Jonathan's voice probably cracked because these songs can be very moving emotionally, a reaction to the Spirit of God that surrounds us. Love has indeed called me His.
There is a name by covenant worship, one of the most beautiful songs I have heard, cannot listen to this enough,
Puh-leaseee listen to “This Is A Move” with Brandon Lake & Tasha Cobbs, it is soooo powerful!! Trust me you won’t regret it!
YES!!!!
Yes, love has called my name...Jesus. The price He paid for us (brutally, painfully crucified to forgive us) that sacrificial love should call/speak to us all.
God is love! Love called my name!!
" Revival's in the air" is a masterpiece they just released in Bethel Music! Melissa sings with so much passion and you are compelled to dance and sing, and all the instruments are just PURE JOY!
I like watching your reaction, it gave me an appreciation for music especially christian music. Since watching your videos I've been able to hear individual instruments and appreciate how they come together to create masterpieces. I havent been able to do that in other music, it has just been "music" if you get my drift. God bless and looking forward to more of your work.
Regarding “Love has called my name,” the message is definitely that God has initiated a relationship through calling us by name. God knows us by name. He made us, individually. His love is personal and intimate. So the song is saying, “Love (the essence of Who God is) has called to me from the beginning. Love knows me by name. I am not random. I am intentionally loved and chosen.”
Thanks for taking the time to answer the question.
Leonardo Torres Music, believe me when I say that the same God Who formed the universe knows you personally by name. I enjoy your videos and appreciate your perspective 🎶❤️

Sing it, I am a child of God. It is so powerful.
