Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bob Marley feat. The Wailers's song "Is This Love" express the desire of the singer to love his partner unconditionally and treat them right. He wants to be with them every day and night and share a home with them, with a roof over their heads and a single bed to share. The singer acknowledges that it is not just their love that will sustain them, but also the provision that comes from JAH, likely a reference to Jah Rastafari, the God of the Rastafari movement. The repeated refrain of "Is this love that I'm feelin'?" suggests that the singer is questioning whether what he feels is truly love, and he expresses his willingness to lay all his cards on the table and find out.

Jesus Christ Saves

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is returning very soon, and is the reason for all of the things that are happening on the Earth right now. This planet is on borrowed time.

Jesus Christ died on a cross, was buried in a tomb, and rose from the dead 3 days later, to pay for the sins of mankind, to give us eternal life and forgiveness from God.

EXACTLY how to be Saved by Jesus Christ, the Son of God:

1. Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord.

2. Believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

Biblical References:
1. Romans 5:9
2. Romans 3:23
3. Romans 6:23
4. Romans 10:9
5. Romans 10:13
6. Ephesians 2: 8 & 9
7. John 3:16

God bless you, peace be with you always. Thank you for your time.
