Joh 3:16 AKJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
We cannot fathom God’s perfect love, because we practice emotional love. We pick and choose those whom we will love, but God’s love is unconditional.
The Bible says that love covers a multitude of sins, 1 Peter 4:8. Love is the greatest commandment according to Matt 22:36-39. The Apostle Paul lists love first as the first fruit of the Spirit. Jesus even rebuked a church because of their love. Rev 2:4.
People will know that you been with Jesus because of your love walk. John 13:34-35, not your title or gifting. We are all a work in progress truth be told. But, when you truly perfect this virtue of love, the power of Christ will rest upon you in the fullness of measure!
Sometimes we think it’s people, or even the Church that holds us back from moving forward, accomplishing vision, or doing great things, but check your love walk!
What we see in America is a result of hate and a lack of love. This is the stumbling block that hinders relationships, and will ultimately destroy a nation. Read Matt 24:10-13.
We must pray, and ask God to help us with this great virtue, and to perfect our love walk. Because truth be told. Many will stand before God for the lack of it.
Today, Ask the Lord to give you the grace to love unconditionally, and as you love, be wise to guard your heart from loveless people! God bless, Pastor Quinn
