KEEP LOVE ALIVE
1 John 4:7-8
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.
But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
All of God's commandments is summed up in love.
Timothy 1:5
Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,
While writing to Timothy, Paul instructed him that the whole essence of the instruction was Love.
All begins and will end in love. You do what you do actually because of love.
Every action we take is a product of love of one thing or the other. That is why we are instructed:
1John 2:15
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world.
Of course if you love the world all your actions will be limited to please the world, to be exalted here on earth alone and to conform to its system.
James 4:4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
The bible says where you heart is there you put your treasure
Matthew 6:21
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
So it is time we checked where our heart lies!
Are we motivated by the Love of God and love for our neighbour?
Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus replied, “‘You must love the lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment.
A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”
Remember at the end of it all the question will always be
John 21:15b
do you love Me more than these
I see us living a life flooded with the Love of God. It will not be a function of what people do but rather it will be because of who we are in Christ Jesus.
We will not be found wanting.
We are blessed.
Love
