Living God's Word: Love One Another
God’s word living in us is the most astonishing reality we could ever experience. God’s Word is not just words on a page, but a living Word unlike any other designed to be believed and incorporated into our lives.
What is the most important act of living God’s Word? I believe the answer is quite obvious: To love the Lord Thy God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
As we look at this profound truth of loving God, we need to take the next step in what was commanded us by our Lord and Savior:
Mat 22:39: And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [Your neighbor is any and everyone else].
Living the Word of God and our Christian lifestyle not only includes loving God fully and completely but loving others as well. Loving others is not just a suggestion in the Bible, but Jesus called it a commandment:
Loving others is the right choice. When you make that choice, when you plant seeds of love, encouragement, and blessing, you are going to see a harvest of peace and joy that will make a difference in your life. Remember, loving others isn’t something you may normally feel like doing. It requires a decision. But making a choice to love blesses them and it blesses you.
HOW DO WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER?
1 Peter 4:8-10: And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
In conclusion, Christianity is a doing ministry. It is loving with the love that Christ loved us. We have the love of God in us. So, we have the capacity to love others. That is what we should be doing. Make a decision to love on others.
