As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 5:14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love they neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 22:37-39
37JESUS said unto him, thou shalt love the LORD thy GOD with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Romans 13:8
Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Who should we love?
First above all our LORD, then others(others meaning ALL).
Why is love for others(all) so important?
We are in debt to CHRIST for the love He has poured out on us. The only way we can even begin to repay this is by loving others(all). Plus, the LORD told us to!! :) and when you are saved He changes your heart where you want to love others(all).
What if there is someone who is hard to "love"?
Trust me there will be at some point in your life, at least in my life there is. But I love them in the name of JESUS, but fleshly it is just hard to! So what we can do is make a list of that persons' good parts and just focus on them.
And plus, don't ever be mean(or mean back) to that person. Life is short and GOD wants us to L-O-V-E!!!
All the time I hear parents telling their children "the golden rule" (treat others like you want to be treated) and the whole time some don't even know it is straight out of GOD's word. :)
So ending with this:
Love as CHRIST loves. Treat others(all) as you want to be treated.
In His Name
GOD bless you and yours....
Yes, God and Jesus want us to show love. In fact Jesus said that it was an identifying mark of true Christians. (John 13:35) How important love is!
ReplyDeleteAmen!! I tell people(and myself) that GOD would not of put it in His word so much if it was not important part of our christian life and pleasing to Him. GOD bless you!!
