Are you showing this love?

  Are you showing this love?

The apostle Paul writes what has to be the definitive definition of love when he writes,

"Love is patient, love is kind. 

It does not envy, it does not boast, 

it is not proud.  

It is not rude, 

it is not self-seeking, 

it is not easily angered, 

it keeps no record of wrongs. 

Love does not delight in evil

 but rejoices with the truth.  

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

Love never fails....

                                             1 Corinthians 13:4-8a 

 Is this your definition of love. If you are a Christian. A true believer in Christ Jesus, it should be. It should be the kind of love we show to our families, friends and foe alike.

So are you showing this love to those around you?

Please think about it.

Believe in God

 Believe in God

"Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty  of man. 

For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil."Ecclesiastes 12:13,14 

Jesus said,

"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.  

But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." Luke 12:4,5.

There is a simple truth here. You can either believe in God or not. If those who do not believe in God are correct then what is quoted above means nothing. On the other hand if it is true then we have a lot to fear.

I however do not believe God is a God of wrath. Quite the contrary God is a God of love, Jesus said,

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.

God in sending Christ to this world with the express purpose of saving not just mankind in general but individuals, shows how much in human terms He was willing to go to reconcile each person to himself. 

In entering the world as Jesus. God experienced first hand what it was to be a man. Everything from the mundane such as feeling the rain on his face, sitting with friends, and attending a wedding. To the horrific, a merciless beating and crucifixion. 

Thus when an individual stands before the judgement seat of God no one can say He dose not understand what it is to be human. 

And anyone who reads the Bible cannot say they have not been warned because from cover to cover the Bible points the way to eternal life with God. Jesus summing things up when he said,

 “Whoever believes in him is not condemned,

 but whoever does not believe 

stands condemned already 

because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son". 

                                                                                                     John 3:18.

Please think about it.

Accept or Reject

Accept or Reject
The Psalmist writes,

"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 

Let Israel say: "His love endures forever." 

Let the house of Aaron say: "His love endures forever." 

Let those who fear the LORD say: "His love endures forever."

                                                                                                Psalm 118:1-4.

Gods love endures forever. His call to all humanity is,
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.
Jesus tells us,
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
That being said God also gave each individual freedom to do as they wish. They can accept that God loves them or they can reject Gods love.
Thus the choice is yours. Will you accept the Love of God or reject it?
Please think about it.
