1) How can we love?
(Ex
20:3-11, DT 6:5, MT
22:37-38)
-
How
can we Love God and our
Neighbors
if we do not know what
Biblical Love is? -
How can
we show Love to God as it is
written in (Ex
20:3-11,
DT 6:5, MT
22:37-38)
and love towards our neighbors
as it is written in (Ex
20:12-16, Lev 19:18,
MT
22:39)
if we do not know exactly what
Love is and how to apply that
love? And friend, don't you
know
that when it comes to LOVE
that "ALL" of the Laws
& Prophets hang on
the 2
greatest commandments
(OT
& NT) (MT
22:35-40)?
Mt
22:40 confirms
that the entire Bible is all
about Love. God wants us to do
Good to him and to each other,
to show and act on real Love,
his Gods Love. And
it is written The greatest is
Love to which is placed at a
higher degree than Faith and
Hope (1
Co 13:13)?
So friend let us learn about
what is love so that we can
actually love others in action
and not just with words. Let us
especially love those who hate
us, and those who persecutes
us. as Jesus Christ has said
Love our enemies and do good to
them (MT
5:44-48)
but with truth (Sound Doctrine)
(Titus
1:9, 2:1).
2) Its
All About Love!
(Matthew
22:40 - To Top^ - Some will say the Bible is about
Gods judgment, or
Gods justice. Like the Jews they don't
understand Gods purpose and
meanings either. And that is
how
Israel got cold hearted and
wayward hypocritical Pharisees. They
thought just by being born in
Israel made them special regarding of how wicked their
hearts and thinking was. So
sadly there are
many of Christians that also
have the same type of thinking
and hearts as the Jews did.
Except there are Christians
think as Long as
they believe in Jesus Christ
that they are pleasing to the
Lord
even though many of them
contain wicked thoughts and
hearts. That is why they don't
understand that the ENTIRE BIBLE
IS ALL LOVE, US LOVING GOD AND
LOVING OTHERS, (The 2 Greatest
Commandments). Us even Loving
our enemies even those that are
against the Christian Faith. BUT
we
never approve of wickedness
though by any means.
So as
it is written regarding the 2
Greatest Commandments, the
Entire Bible Matthew 22:40 On these two
commandments hang all the Law and
the Prophets."
3) Even
the Demons Believe! (Mt
8:29, Mk 1:34, Lk 4:41)
- -
Many of Christians are taught by
their
churches that all
they have to do is to believe in
Jesus Christ, that he is the son
of God, and he rose from the
dead on the 3rd day, that is all
there is to salvation. But my
friend even the demons believe
that Jesus Christ is the son of
God, Rose from the dead and has
all authority, (Mt
8:29, Mk 3:11, Lk 4:41).
Even James told the people that
even the demons believe that
there is one God (James
2:19).
So then why doesn't that save them? It is because they DO NOT
LOVE GOD NOR DO THEY LOVE
MANKIND, nor do they love their
enemies, and so on. The demons
have no Love at all. THEY
PRACTICE
SIN
ALSO!
Throughout my 33 years as a Born
Again Christian as of January
2020, I have come
across many of Christians just
like the demons with no love, no compassion towards the poor,
the widow, the criminal or
anyone they do not approve of
that meets up to their standards of
their religion.
Yet
Jesus Christ has said;
Matthew
25:42-46
42 for I
was hungry and you gave Me no
food;
I was thirsty and you gave Me no
drink;
43 I
was a
stranger and
you did not take Me in, naked and
you did not clothe Me, sick and in
prison and
you did not visit Me.'
44 "Then
they also
will answer Him,* saying,
'Lord,
when did we see You
hungry or thirsty or
a stranger
or naked or sick or
in prison,
and did not minister to
You?'
45 Then He
will answer them,
saying, 'Assuredly, I say to
you, inasmuch as you
did not do it to one
of the
least of these,
you did not do itto
Me.'
46 And
these will
go away
into everlasting
punishment,
but the righteous into eternal
life."
The
Christians without Love and that
practices sin, Jesus
Christ will say to them
Matthew 25:41
depart
from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting
fire prepared for the devil and his
angels:
-
THOSE
WITHOUT LOVE will
be tossed into hell regardless
of how much they say they
believe in our
Lord Jesus
Christ!
So my
friend Faith must be accompanied
by love, compassion, and truth
in deed, not just in words and
in
tongue (1
John 3:16-23) in
order to be a valid Faith, for
Love is greater than faith and
hope (1
Co 13:13).
As James states that Faith
without works is dead (James
2:14-26).
In other words works is the
EVIDENCE of your faith, if you
have no evidence (works) you
have no faith! So then Your
Salvation not
only depends on your Faith
(Believing Gods Words) and doing
them (Mt
4:4, 7:24-29),
it depends on your
Love (Mt
22:34-40),
your works as evidence you have
Faith (James
2:14-26)!
4) Christians hard time
loving others? (Matthew
17:20, 19:26, Luke 1:37) - (HURTING
PEOPLE HURT
PEOPLE) My
friends when others abuses or
uses you, or even hurts your
children or your spouse you may
find it hard to have Love for
those who has hurt you or your
family. Yes regardless of the
evil that a person does to us or
to others, it is very hard for
Christian to have pity and
compassion on the lost misguided
souls.
But
regardless of the evils we have
done to others and to God, he
has given us his forgiveness and
his
kindness even though we only
deserve death.
So then why
can't you likewise forgive them
from your heart as God has
forgiven you (Matthew
6:12-15)?
We
must guard our hearts and minds
against evil emotions and evil
thinking as it is written; Philippians
4:7
and
the peace
of God, which
surpasses all understanding, will
guard your hearts
and minds
through Christ
Jesus. And
it is written; 2
Thessalonians 3:3 But
the Lord is faithful,
who will establish
you and guard you
from
the evil
one. Do
you not know that through Jesus
Christ that you have the power
and Capability
(Romans
15:13)
to Love those who does you evil and
forgive them?
And do you not
know that all things are
possible with God that he is
able to give you a heart of Love
and
forgiveness (Matthew
19:26)?
Our own emotions can keep us
from loving and forgiving
others. Our
motions and
understanding get in
the way of God's ways and will
for us!
As
Jeremiah has said; Jeremiah
17:9 "The heart is deceitful
above all things, And
desperately wicked;
Who can know it?So
Now will you practice the ways
of Jesus Christ to love and
forgive those who do evil to you or
will you practice the wicked
ways of satan and
this wicked world to hate and
become bitter with your un
forgiveness?
5) If
a Christian is without Love
(1
Corinthians 13:1-3) -
My friend it doesn't matter how
little or how much
you know and
understand the
scriptures of Gods Holy Words,
if you do not have LOVE YOU HAVE
NOTHING AT ALL! It doesn't
matter if you are a Pastor, TV
Evangelist a church member or a
non church
member, if you do not
have LOVE YOU HAVE NOTHING! It
doesn't matter how poor
or rich you are,
or how popular
or un popular you are if you do
not have LOVE YOU HAVE NOTHING!
Do you not know the
TWO
GREATEST COMMANDMENTS? My
friend As of this date August
21st
2014 of being a Born Again
Christian for about 29 years now
I have seen countless numbers of
Christians
who do not have love,
understanding, compassion or
sympathy to the poor, their
enemies, the oppressed,
or even
the handicapped! I have seen so
many quickly turn against each
other, in strife, in division
that it just blows my mind. And
yet Paul said
that we are all members of the
one body. (1
Corinthians 12:12-31)
and that we are to walk in
unity, in the spirit and bond of
peace (Ephesians
4:1-6).
Do
you not know that God hates a
brother that causes strife
among the brethren (Proverbs
6:19)?
So then
why do so many act as if their
brothers and sisters in Christ
are their enemies rather than
their family, a part
of the
family of God through Jesus
Christ? And why do so
many Christians speaks against
the poor, those
on or not on
welfare? Or speak against those
that are different than they are
and this without cause to speak
such evils against others?
So
many speaks slander, that is
falsely accuse others without
any facts to be able to make a
sound judgment (Discernment)?
What has happened to the Body of
Jesus Christ, and where has it
gone and where is it going
with
so many not displaying Love with
Gods Holy Truths, his Love or
his Justice, but instead
displaying hatred, bitterness
and strife instead?
My
Friend Without Love you are
letting satan win and becoming
your own worse enemy! And
without
Love you can not
possibly Love
God or Jesus Christ, nor be
pleasing to them! Do you not
know that the
entire Bible is
about Love, Truth and Justice?
6) Be
Imitators of God, Walk in Love
(Ephesians
5:1-21) -
As our Lord Jesus Christ has
loved us, let us
also love him,
by abiding in him (John
15:3-11)
and walking in love towards one
another is as sweet as the
love
of Christ is, so shall it be as
sweet as our love is when we
love one another (John
13:34)
so that others
may know that we
are his proven disciples (John
13:35, John 15:8),
followers of him who has called
us and
then chosen us, the few (Matthew
22:14)
to salvation, for service as the
elect (Matthew
24:31)
in Jesus
Christ.
Friends, if we love Jesus
Christ, we will bring with us
the testimony of Jesus Christ
and we will keep the
commandments of God as it is
written; Revelation
12:17 ................
on those who keep
the commandments
of God and hold
to the testimony of Jesus ..........
And as it is also written; Revelation
14:12 Here
is a call
for the endurance of
the saints, those
who keep the commandments of God
and their faith in Jesus.
AMEN
(So Be It)!
7) The
Two Greatest Commandments
(MT
22:34-40) -
First off my friend we have to
look at these
verses regarding
love as a
commandment from Jesus Christ. -
Both commandments is a brief
summary
of the "Ten
Commandments" to
which is equal to the "Two
Greatest Commandments".
Friend as it is
written about the laws (laws
of Love)
Jesus said that
all of the prophets hang on
those "Two Greatest
Commandments"
(MT
22:40).
God wants our love towards him
and our fellow mankind to be
from a
sincere heart and mind.
Not out of an obligation or
duty, but out of a true heart of
love, out of understanding and
out of concern
for others. If we
want Love from God instead of
his wrath (John
3:36),
then we have to give Love first.
That is we are to Love God and
then we are to Love our neighbor
from a pure and sincere heart!
In
order to be able to Love, our
relationship with Jesus Christ
has to be in check with the
teachings of Jesus
Christ
(MT
7:76, MT 24:35, MK 8:38, LK
6:47, LK 9:26, JN 8:47, JN
14:10, JN 14:24, JN 15:7,
JN
17:8).
We are to worship God in spirit
and in truth (Jn
4:23-24).
And we need to take better care
of our mental
and physical
selves as well. The book of
Leviticus are full of health and
sanitary laws that will help us
to do just that. How can we
love if we are messed up in our
thinking, or if we over eat, and
such? This is
NOT meant for those who that has
mental or physical disabilities.
They are just as capable of
loving as
anyone else is!
8) Love
The Poor
(Dt
15:7-11, MT 19:21, 25:31-46, Mk
12:40, RO 15:26, Gal 2:10, Jas
2:1-13) -
I have
heard of many of
Christians who has
wicked hearts regarding the
poor, the needy, and the
oppressed to
which is a sin not
just against the poor but also
against God,
against the Love of God and his
graces! As
(Dt
15::7-11) tells
us not to withhold our hand to
the poor, that we are to give to
the poor. So
many
Christians are full of
arrogance and pride that only
leads them to their own
destruction.
Even Jesus Christ tells us when we cloth
the naked, give the thirsty a
drank, take a stranger in or
visit those in prison we do it
to him, to Jesus Christ (Mt
25:31-46).Even
Apostle Paul got the Christians
of his day to collect money for
the poor Christians that are in
Jerusalem (Ro
15:26).
So then if we do
not love the poor how then can
we be obedient to Jesus Christ,
how can we be anything for the
greatest of all things is Love (1
Co 13:13).
And to add if we see a brother
in need and shut our heart to
him, the love of God is not in
us for we contain
a wicked
heart, not a righteous heart ( 1
John 3:16-23).
My friend if we have not love
towards all mankind, regardless
of their financial status, race,
or foreigner then we have
absolutely nothing, not even the
love of God for his hand would
then be against us, surely not
for us (1
Co 13:1-3)!
Do
not treat the rich man better
than the poor man, nor exclude
the poor man from your Christian
get together, nor ignore him as
if he were nothing, nor should
you not socialize with the poor
man. If you do, then you are
not showing the love of Christ,
instead you are being
worldly/carnal with no
spirituality of Christ; as it is
written; (James
2:1-13).
9) Gods
Wrath is on those that Oppress
and Exploit Others
(Zechariah
7:8-14, Malachi 3:1-7,
Matthew
22:30-40)
- Those who oppress and
exploit the poor, the window,
the orphan, the worker, and
even
Aliens (even the illegal
foreigner) in your land will
receive Gods Judgments because
they did not fear
the Lord. The Jews because they did not fear
Lord and hurt many others God
has led them into the captivity
of their enemies.
They did not
received Gods love nor
blessings, instead they had
received Gods anger and
judgments.
They had suffered
greatly because of their wicked
and cruel hearts. So like wise
the same shall be to those of
today, even those in the
churches saying they are of the
Christian Faith (Mt
25:31-46). So
then if you do not want the
wrath and Judgments of God
against you that can come to you
in many ways, such as flooding,
tornados, earthquakes, lose your
job, lose your loved one and so
on, it would be best to not even
speak against the foreigner, the
window, the poor, the orphan,
the worker in any unjust and
unrighteous ways!
10) Love
Your Enemies
(Matthew
5:43-48 & Romans 12:20) - - In
times of Old the people would
say Love
your neighbor, but hate
your
enemies, but Jesus Christ
reminds us to Love our enemies
and do good to them, and by doing so we will be at peace
with-in our
selves with out any bitterness
or struggles in our hearts. If
we love only those who love us,
then what good have we done and in
what way have we been obedient
to Jesus Christ.
For God Loved
us even though in the past we
hated him, we persecuted him and
completely ignored him.
So if
he can love us, and call his to
his son Jesus Christ for we were
his former enemies, then why can't
we
love our current and past
enemies as well? If God can
forgive us then why can't we
forgive those who do
evil to
us? This
is how we will be at peace in
Jesus Christ!
11) Love
is putting our selves last (Mark
9:33-35) (being
a servant of all) - If
we love others, we will never
act like we are better than they
are, and we realize that we too
deserve Gods wrath and judgments
as well
as they do. We will
remember from where we first
came from and who we actually
were in our wicked
conditions.
We are called to serve Jesus
Christ by serving others. We
are not called to be served, but
to
serve (Servants to all (Mt
20:26).
Friend we serve others according
to our talents, our abilities,
our time and our resources that
God has
blessed us with (Mt
24:14-30).
We should never be selfish with
all that God has given us. We
must serve
and share our
blessings with others so that
our service to God is done and
his Glory is known to all!
12) The
Love Chapter (1
Corinthians 13) -
is a general run down of the
meanings to what Jesus meant
when
he told us to "Love
Your
Neighbor"
(MT
22:39). If
you wish to serve and obey Jesus
Christ, then you should
take what Jesus said about loving
your neighbor with the Love
chapter 1Co
13 and
study them, then compare them to
how to act towards others to
make sure that you are actually
loving your neighbors.
13) Love
is Patient (1Co
13:4a) -
Friend, what is the meaning of
being patient? The MSN
Works 9
Dictionary puts
it this way;
capable of waiting:
able to endure waiting, delay or
provocation without
becoming annoyed or upset. Friend,
especially when we are very
tired, or had a really bad day,
this can
be a difficult thing
for us to do because of our weak
flesh that constantly fights
against the spirit of God, the
spirit of truth. (Jn
14:17, 15:26, 16:13)
But this is something that we
must learn as we grow in our
faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
We must work out our salvation
in trembling and fear (Php
2:12).
Look at it this way, God has
been extremely patient with us,
with all of our sins, and our
stubbornness or we would not
even be here today if he wasn't
patient! So let us
learn to be
patient with others as God has
been patient with us.
14) Love
is Kind (1Co
13:4a) -
Friend to be kind is to be
polite, courteous and thoughtful
towards those
around us. Being
kind also means
to use our manners, to be
respectful in regards to how we
interact with others. If we are driving on the road, we share
that road with others. So let
us be courteous drivers. If we
be at the store or the mall, let
us be patient, and be kind with
the workers and with the
customers. Even though there
are people that we do not like,
we should still use our manners,
and be kind to them when we
interact with them. As Jesus
said; "Love
Your Neighbor". (Exodus
20:12-17, Leviticus
19:18 & MT 22:39)
15) Love
is not Jealous
(1Co
13-4b) -
We should never compare our
selves to someone else, weather
it be
what they have, their
financial status, their success
or their appearance as so many
do. We should not covet
anything of our neighbors (Exodus
20:17).
We should be confident in Jesus
Christ and only examine our
selves (2Co
13:5)
as the Holy Scriptures states.
Let us never be envious of
others, because if we do then we
are not displaying the Love of
Jesus Christ to others.
And
friend BEWARE of
the TV programs, movies, music
and such that encourages sin and
takes sin lightly! They
encourage people to compare them
selves to others rather than
compare our selves to Jesus
Christ. We are to be Christ Like
(Romans
8:29).
So friend put off the envy, the
jealousy and put on the image of
Jesus Christ (Eph
4:17-32)
without comparing your selves to
some one else (2Co
10:12).
16) Love
does not act unbecomingly
(1Co
13:5) -
Friend let us honor Jesus Christ
in public or in private by
acting in a loving and
dignified way and let us not
disgrace or dishonor Jesus
Christ in any way. A good
example is near Thanksgiving,
the day of "Black Friday" is
very unholy to say the least..
Many people on
that day behave worse than animals with rabies.
Their behaviors are so
disgraceful that most cultures
would look down on those people
with absolute disgust. And
their behaviors is for what?
For
a good deal on products such as
a new Elmo doll, that will soon
wear out and end up in the trash
anyways? Friend that is just
one example of acting
disgracefully. And that is not
loving our neighbors, and not
showing the Love of Jesus Christ
towards of others. That behavior
does not glory God at all!
17) Love
does not seek its own
(1Co
13:5a) -
This my friend is an unselfish
type of Love, that involves
putting others before our
selves in giving of kindness,
helping, ministering, and caring
to and about others. We do
not seek our own happiness without
first considering others. When
we seek our own happiness does
it hurt
others in the same
process? Is our attitude "Me
First, Me First?" And in our
own households is our happinessbased upon our own selfish needs
without first considering the
needs of our children, or our
spouse?
Do we go out and do our
own thing and leave our children
and spouse at home? Divorce usually happens
because
of one or both spouses saying,
"Me First, Me First"! And when
we drive are we considerate
towards other drivers, and if
possible, let others out of a
side street to get in front of
us? Or do we cut others off on
the road ways and drive like we
personally own the road?
Friend
the reason why divorce rates are
so high even in the churches is
because so many people seeks
their own ways, rather than
putting their spouse first and
have a relationship that is a
giving to the other spouse &
children. ALWAYS divorces
are the results of selfish and self seeking people with
out any regards to the other
spouse or the children that NEEDS
BOTH PARENTS IN THE HOME!
18) Love
is not provoked (1Co
13:5a)-
We are not easily offended, nor
are we easily provoked to anger
if
we have love towards the other
person. And we do not quickly
get overly emotionally anything
unless
someone dies, or are in a
serious situation. Those who are
at peace with their relationship
with Jesus Christ, will be calm
in a normal or general
situation. We are confident in
our Lord Jesus Christ, and we
are not insecure with our relationship with Jesus Christ.
There
can be exceptions to this rule
such as a car wreck, an
explosion, or one that displays
a righteous anger as Jesus
Christ did about the people that
bought and sold at the church,
the House of God and Prayer and
such. But as far as under
normal circumstance we are to
react in a calm normal attitude
towards others without easily getting bent out of shape.
That
is why we are told to not even
trust our own hearts, they are deceitful (Jer
17:9)
because our of
understanding we
can not rely on nor trust in our
own understanding (Proverbs
3:5).
We don't see what the
Lord sees,
and many judge by mere
appearance (John
7:2$)
that covers up what's really hidden in a persons
heart,
rather than making a right
judgment..
19) Love
does not take into account wrong
suffered
(1Co
13:5b) -
Loving others means for us not
to keep
no record of wrongs that
others have done to us. We must
forgive them for their sins that
they have done to us (Mt
5:44-48).
We should never think back after
putting our hands to the plow (Lk
9:62),
and say this
person did this
wrong to me, or that wronged to
me. When God forgave us, does
he keep a record of what
we done wrong in the past? No he
doesn't!
And if we keep record
of wrongs done to us, then how
have we forgiven others? And
how can God not
keep records of
our wrongs that we have done to
him and others if we have done
that to others? It is written
that if we want God to forgive
us, that we must forgive others (MT
6:12, 6:14)
. If we don't then God will not
forgive us either!
20) Love
does not rejoice in
unrighteousness
(1Co
13:6a) -
If we love others we will not
delight in people
falling into
sin, or suffer for
bad things happening to them.
It is written; Proverbs
24:17 Do
not rejoice when your enemy
falls, and let not your heart be
glad when he stumbles, 18 lest
the Lord see it and be
displeased, and turn away his
anger from him. We will not
rejoice even when our enemies
fall due to their sinful choices
that they make. We will not
rejoice over other peoples
sufferings.
If
anything we will pity them, and
have compassion on them and
hopefully pray for their
salvation in the hopes that they
to may obtain Gods Saving Grace
as we did. Friend that is why
many of the shows and movies on
TV that we have no business
watching. Because they like
most wicked people do rejoice
over the fall of others and make
fun of them. We should never
boast over the sufferings of
others regardless of who they
are.
21) Love
rejoices with the truth (1Co
13:6) -
The truth as Jesus is the way, THE
TRUTH and
the Life
(Jn
14:16)
we shall rejoice over with
all praising and with all
dancing unto our Lord Jesus
Christ. Love
desires THE TRUTH
in all things about all things
regardless of what mankind says
and does. That truth is
only
found in God, not in mankind!
And we do not seek the truth
from mankind, but WE DO seek the
truth in Jesus Christ and we are
happy with that and we rejoice
with all measures of joy in the
Lord Jesus
Christ!
And we will
also study and search the
scriptures for Gods Holy Truths
so that we may learn and apply
his
holy ways to our lives and
in that we will have much more
reasons for rejoicing in the
truths that we learn
from God in Jesus Christ!
22) Love
bears all things
(1Co
13:7) -
Love endures (put up with,
tolerate) mankind's
imperfections,
mankind's sinfulness. God is their
Judge, not us (1Co
5:13)
the unsaved, those outside of
the Body of Jesus Christ. We do
not judge them. We only judge
those inside the church, the
Body of Jesus Christ (1Co
5:12).
We our selves are not perfect,
mainly due to our weak flesh,
our weakened state of a weak
mind, that so many of us are
prone to be.
How can we look at
the faults of others, such as
nit picking them, without first considering our own
imperfections, our own downfalls
and our weakened state. So let
us not pretend that we are more
deserving
of Gods love than
others, because we are just as
much as sinners as they are.
23) Love
believes all things (1Co
13:7) -
In other words my friend, this
means to believe a person has
good
motives, good intent
unless direct evidence is seen
that the person does not have
good intent. We are not to
believe a person has evil
intentions unless there is
evidence that says differently.
We should not prejudge others
ever by their appearance, or any
other way if there is no
evidence of them being evil. As
Jesus told us to not judge by
mere appearances, but make a
right judgment (Jn
7:24).
24) Love
hopes all things (1Co
13:7) -
This is the hope that all things
turn out well, even with bad
people, even
with those who
either lost
hope, or has no hope, even when
natural disasters strikes, or
when mankind himself does evil
or plans evil and such. The
hope in Jesus Christ that all
things in the end may turn out
for the good, and glorify God in
accordance to his Holy ways and
his Holy will for his good
pleasure (Php
2:13)
and for the good of those that
loves him.
25) Love
endures all things
(1Co
13:7) -
With love we shall endure (to
tolerate-to stand firm) in
persecutions, from our parents
or
relatives and such that hates
us, from those who hate us, from
those who try's to damage our
reputation, falsely accuses us,
puts us in prison for false
reasons and even puts us to
death for false reasons.
This
is the hope that we do not lose
our faith in Jesus Christ, that
we do not deny him, that we do
not
compromise our faith under
any condition or circumstance
regardless of mankind or their
government laws or even church
regulations and traditions.
26) Love
Never fails (1Co
13:8) -
Love (agape
Love)
is always guaranteed to never
fail. Love itself, if done in
Gods way, not
mankind's way, in truth (Sound
Doctrine) is extremely powerful
to the point that Peter says;
that "Love
Covers a Multitude of Sins."
It is Love that satan, his
demons and his servants (unsaved
mankind) DOES NOT HAVE! And it
is Love that conquers all forms
of evil if it be small sins or
large sins, LOVE
CONQUERS THEM ALL!
The
greatest weapon against
temptations, and against satans
arrows (attacks) is LOVE! LOVE
NEVER
FAILS in
any and all circumstances! It
is when we do not use LOVE and
the Full
Armor of God that
we fall
into sin, and do evil
our selves, and then by that we
hand the victory of the battle
over to satan, until, we use the LOVE
OF GOD & Full Armor of God,
our LOVE TOWARDS EACH OTHER that
we start winning
the war of Good
and evil once again!
It is
written; Ephesians
6:12 For
we do not wrestle against flesh
and blood, but against the
rulers, against the authorities,
against the cosmic powers over
this present darkness, against
the spiritual forces of evil in
the heavenly places. .
27) Greatest
is Love
(1
Corinthians 13:13) -
There are some that think that
they are doing well by having
"Full
Faith" or by having
"Hope" in Jesus Christ. And yet
some of them lack one very
important thing. That is love
towards God and towards their
fellow mankind. That love
involves, concern, compassion,
understanding and service to
others. And without Love, their
"Faith" and their "Hope" is
absolutely worthless and has no
benefit for the kingdom of God,
nor will their "Faith" or their
"Hope" bring anyone to the
saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. So they profit nothing
(1Co
13:1-3)!
So their faith is "Bankrupt"!
