Love One Another

Tuesday, 10 May 2011 20:06

It is good to have a love in our hearts for one another. When God changes a life He puts a love in the heart.

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 1 John 3:11

Love is something we need and it's a choice to love. Christ loved us all the way to the cross. That's ultimate love given as an example of how we ought to love one another.

Those that are doing the will of the Father are our spiritual brethren. We are the body of Christ and to be a part of the body successfully we must walk together in love.

How is your love for others, the church, and your family working?

Are we stepping our of our comfort zone to love or is the enemy of our souls taking advantage of the love in our heart for others?

We have a responsibility that we are going to let God rule our love.

Paul tells us that without love working we are nothing. 1 Corinthians 13

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. Galatians 5:13-15

We have a choice about the liberty God has given us. We need to be careful about biting and devouring one another. We all have irrritabilities but we cant let the enemy have his way with us.

Sometimes it is a good reminder to love and let love flow through our lives.

How is your love flowing?

Thank you, for your inquiry…hope this helps:

Ways we can love those that are hard to love

We have to learn to love others no matter who they are. Jesus tells us " But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil." Luke 6:35

Can we love our enemies…even those we may not get along with?
Jesus says that God is "kind unto the unthankful and to the evil."
Jesus is our ultimate example and as a Christian we must allow Him to lead our lives, our thoughts and our actions.
A way that we can approach a person we may have a hard time getting along with is to think about this scripture and how would Jesus treat this individual.
Another thing to ponder which will help us in our dealings with others that we may conflict with is to understand that this individual has a soul that needs Jesus.
Jesus tells us, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16
Before we became a Christian we may have had hatred in our hearts and when a person gets saved they have to relearn things and put in practice how to change our lives and our attitudes.
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." Matthew 11:29

We have a tendency as human beings to "strike back" when someone approaches us in a wrong manner. The tongue can be a fire (James 3:6) so we must be on guard with our reactions. Remember that Proverbs 15:1 says, "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger."

Praying for our enemies or those we may conflict with can help us carry a sincere burden for that person. This will remind us that we must be careful in how we act in order to see them get saved.

We must exercise ourselves unto godliness.

"But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness." 1 Timothy 4:7

Sometimes the best thing is to not say anything so we are not biting and devouring one another.

"But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another." Galations 5:15

Only God can make loving others easier that we don't get along with. Without God’s love, our selfish spirit cannot show love, but with God’s Spirit, even our enemies can be loved…it may not always be easy, but we it can be done, with God’s help.

Again, thank you for your question…hope this helps. If you can, please join us on Tuesday evenings, for Bible study at the Church of God.
