Commandment of Love
HE HAS GIVEN US THIS COMMAND: WHOEVER LOVES GOD MUST ALSO LOVE HIS BROTHER.( 1 JOHN 4:21 *NIV )
Dear Friends
Our Savior Jesus Christ said: "A NEW COMMANDI GIVE YOU: LOVE ONE ANOTHER. AS I HAVE LOVEDYOU, SO YOU MUST LOVE ONE ANOTHER." ( JOHN 13:34 )
So, OFFER HOSPITALITY TO ONE ANOTHER WITHOUT GRUMBLING. EACH ONE SHOULD USE WHATEVER GIFT HE HAS RECEIVED TO SERVE OTHERS, FAITHFULLY ADMINISTRATING GOD'S GRACEIN ITS VARIOUS FORMS. (1 PETER 4:9-10 )
Thus, IF ANYONE HAS MATERIAL POSSESSIONSAND SEES HIS BROTHER IN NEED BUT HAS NO PITY ON HIM, HOW CAN THE LOVE OF GOD BE IN HIM? DEARCHILDREN, LET US NOT LOVE WITH WORDS OR TONGUE BUT WITH ACTIONS AND IN TRUTH. Now just,SUPPOSE A BROTHER OR SISTER IS WITHOUT CLOTHES AND DAILY FOOD. IF ONE OF YOU SAYS TOHIM, "GO, I WISH YOU WELL; KEEP WARM AND WELL FED," BUT DOES NOTHING ABOUT HIS PHYSICAL NEEDS, WHAT GOOD IS IT? After all Jesus also said: "I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WHATEVER YOU DID FOR ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE BROTHERS OF MINE, YOUDID FOR ME." ( 1 JOHN 3:17-18 ) ( JAMES 2:15-16 ) ( MATTHEW 25:40 )
Therefore, LOVE MUST BE SINCERE. HATE WHAT ISEVIL; CLING TO WHAT IS GOOD. BE DEVOTED TO ONE ANOTHER IN BROTHERLY LOVE. HONOR ONE ANOTHER ABOVE YOURSELVES. ( ROMANS 12:9-10 )and God will Bless you for it! Amen.
