FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong>\u00a0Without exception, all should love their neighbor as self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Corinthians 13<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone without loving is not with God and taken a distance from God.
Are loving others as commanded by God?
Paul the apostle stated the importance of love\u00a0in 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, \u201cThough I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
The word of Apostle Paul identifies that demonstrating the gifts of God, such as speaking in tongues, prophesying, reaching out to the needy, and making oneself available when or where there is a need, but without having love, is empty, and nothing counts before God.\u00a0
To love is commanded by God.
Preaching love and not living by loving others is not complete before God.
Jesus meant what He said,\u00a0\u201cMany will say to Me in that day, \u2018Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?\u2019 And then I will declare to them, \u2018I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!\u2019\u201d(Matthew 7:22-23)\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
Are you obedient to self-selected but not with obedience to all of the commands of God?
It is possible to be deceived or lie in the presence of God manipulating brethren, but God can see the heart of all.\u00a0
The apostle Paul also describes what love is about,\u00a0\u201cLove suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.\u201d(1 Corinthians 13:4-7)<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
If believers consider the description of what love is as Apostle Paul identifies, the world will turn round for the better.
To love as commanded by God must be in truth and deed.
To love is not impossible, but love as God expects from all.
God is a good God; He did not command for what is impossible to obey.\u00a0
One that loves as commanded by God will count before God as one that fully obeys God as\u00a0Galatians 5:14<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0speaks to all,\u00a0\u201cFor all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: \u201cYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
Always know for yourself if you love as commanded by God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask to be enabled to live a life of obedience to the command of God, avoiding a life of waste.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
