MY FRIENDS, TO LOVE AS GOD LOVES, WHERE DO WE START?

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….” 1 John 4:7-11 (NKJV)

So we have an all knowing, all powerful God, who resides or exist in every situation or circumstances of our lives if we believe. In addition, a God who understands the very essence of the words, selfless, sacrificial and unconditional as it relates to life and how we as humans relates to one another.

A God who gave his only begotten son  simply because of a passion that transcends far beyond our finite way of thinking. My friends, I can see why Abraham was ask to sacrifice His only son. Because to truly understand the meaning of love  you must try and feel in our finite minds what God feels when He has to make a sacrifice of love.

So He tells Abraham to “Take now your son, your only son, WHOM YOU LOVE, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah; and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.'”(Gen. 22:1-2)

“WHOM YOU LOVE.” Such power and passion in those three words, words that He wanted to instill into what Abraham was about to do, so that man and woman could in some limited capacity understand that the true meaning of LOVE is a passion and a feeling.

In addition, a feeling that tells a child of God from deep within that if we have faith and believe that God has made our life to be as that of a “man or woman after His own heart;” and if we have established such A relationship, then we do understand from a  human standpoint what love is, some-what.

John words in 1 John 4:8 (KJV) tells us “Whoever does not LOVE , does not know God, BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.” And then when we receive the mind of Christ we are now measured by the life of Christ, as we become candidates for God’s pure and holy kingdom.

And this pure and genuine LOVE  can only be given to us through our faith that God’s presence controls our lives each day, as God’s love through a transformation process, refines, restores and replaces what the world deems as LOVE  with a genuine unadulterated LOVE, from who God is.

And if I go one day without this LOVE  that God instills into me without allowing self to Die then I begin to revert back to how the world defines LOVE. So with the mind of Christ we begin to realize through His word and spirit how far sin has taken us from understanding God’s genuine LOVE, whose knowledge and wisdom comes to all who are solid learners of his ways and works.

And as we begin to obtain a personal relationship with God, the spirit begins to implant a sanctification process that converts Gods nature and love into ours. for it is not possible for the heart where God abides, not to love as God loves, a God who gave his only son so that all humanity may have eternal life.

So my friends we now with God’s love within us, we walk like Christ, we talk like Christ, we treat others, using Christ as our example and Each Day of our lives is now spent with The one who now lives in us, and we no longer conform to the god of this world’s definition of LOVE.

So now Christ LOVE  lives in this finite mind and body, because He and His LOVE  is infinite which is now preparing our mind and bodies to live infinitely with Him. So today WHERE DO WE START TO LOVE AS GOD LOVES?

WELL MY FRIENDS, WE START NO WHERE ELSE BUT AT CALVARY, AND JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED, who through our faith lives in each of us today, tomorrow, and soon to be, throughout the ceaseless ages of Eternity.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
