Above all, LOVE

"But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.”

Psalm 16:3

A true sign of having a right relationship with GOD is how we view other believers.  “Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:” 1 Peter 1:22. 

It is impossible to have the love of GOD within and not feel love for others that are filled with the same SPIRIT!  “So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Romans 12:5. 

Love is more than a word we say in passing. It indicates the condition of our heart and position we have with GOD! “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.” 1 John 3:14.

 

I am amazed at the many times I have met total strangers and the SPIRIT that we both share brings instant relationship and love that only GOD can convey.  I have met others where at first there was a feeling of disregard because of personality differences but the power of the SPIRIT of GOD changed that feeling of disrespect to one of a love and rewarding relationships. 

How can one love without loving another?

Do I really have love if I hate a brother?

How can one say they truly love the LORD?

If they don’t love others, this is totally absurd!

Now “GOD is love” and that’s all there is to it!

If you love Him, love for others you’ll also submit!

The two are bound together like the Holy Trinity!

For if “GOD is love” how else could it be?

“We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.” 1John 3:14

“Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 6:23
