LOVE

1 Corinthians 13:2 GW
I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge. I may even have enough faith to move mountains. But if I don’t have love, I am nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:4‭-‬5‭, ‬7 GW
Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn’t jealous. It doesn’t sing its own praises. It isn’t arrogant. It isn’t rude. It doesn’t think about itself. It isn’t irritable. It doesn’t keep track of wrongs. Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up.

THE BELIEVER’S DUTY

adrakes845@yahoo.comLeave a comment
THE BELIEVER’S DUTY:
Christ has one great charge for believers—to continue or to abide in His love.
a. “Continuing” or “abiding” is conditional. A believer can …
• break fellowship with Christ
• cease to keep his thoughts upon Christ
• walk out of the love of Christ
• get away from the love of Christ
• turn back to the world and to his old worldly friends (see 2 Co. 6:17–18)
• give himself back over to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 Jn. 2:15–16)
Jesus said that it is up to the believer to continue in His love. How? By doing what any person does when he wants someone to love him. The person draws near to the person he loves: he does good and tries to please the person. So it is with the believer. The believer continues in the love of Christ by drawing near and doing good and seeking to please Him—very simply by obeying His commandments. (See Jn. 14:21; 15:10, 14.)
Now note a critical point. Christ always loves; His love is always there. But it is up to man to walk in that love. A man can never know and experience the Lord’s love unless he walks in it.
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him” (Jn. 14:21).
“If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.… Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” (Jn. 15:10, 14). “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him” (Col. 2:6).
“He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked” (1 Jn. 2:6).
b. “Abiding” in the love of Christ has a standard, a supreme example: it is Christ Himself. He was perfectly obedient to God; therefore, He continued in the Father’s love. We are to look at His obedience as our prime example. (Again, see note—Jn. 10:17–18.)
Note another critical point. A believer must do something if He is going to follow Jesus’ example and keep Jesus’ commandments. The believer must study and learn and abide in the Word of God, in the commandments and life of Christ. A person cannot keep a commandment unless he knows the commandment.
“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (Jn. 15:4–5).
“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Ac. 17:11).
“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Ti. 2:15).
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious” (1 Pe. 2:2–3).
“And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming” (1 Jn. 2:28).
“Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him” (1 Jn. 3:6).
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son” (2 Jn. 9).

THE TWO GREATEST COMMANDMENTS

THE TWO GREATEST COMMANDMENTS:
MATTHEW 22:36-39
36 “Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in Moses’ Teachings?”
37 Jesus answered him, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and most important commandment. 39 The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’
IF WE CAN MASTER THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO HEAVEN, THINK ABOUT IT.

FAITH IS NECESSARY

adrakes845@yahoo.comLeave a comment
DO YOU HAVE FAITH THAT CAUSES YOU TO RECEIVE FROM GOD? DOES YOUR FAITH CAUSE GOD TO WANT TO BLESS YOU?
Mark 11:24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
James 1:6
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
John 11:40
Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
Matthew 21:22
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
TRUST GOD, BELIEVE GOD, AND RECEIVE FROM GOD.
TRUST, BELIEVE, AND RECEIVE, GLOOORRRY!!! HALLELUJAH!!!
