LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS JESUS COMMANDED 10-23-16

1 112713 Love one another

(CLICK THE TITLE) Good morning and praise the Lord for another day and another chance to gain knowledge of what God has in store for us, His children. I have a question for you today. It’s a question the Holy Spirit asked of me this morning and my answer fell short. How’s your love walk going? I hope each of you looks real deep before answering. We are going to deal with this in the scriptures today.

Today’s Prayer

Dear heavenly Father. Jesus said, Blessed are the meek,” but how meek, Lord? Sometimes we feel that we are being “used,” taken advantage of , do You know what we mean, Lord? Help us stop and ask ourselves, “Am I doing this for John Doe or for God?” If the task will further Your mission, then let us be “meek.” Let us forget John Doe and remember only that we said we wanted to serve You. In Jesus holy name we pray. Amen.

Let’s eat.

Loving One Another

1 John 4:7-21

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. God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. We love each other because he loved us first. If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their Christian brothers and sisters.
