Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. (Rom 12:9-15)
Those who are in Christ, through the grace of GOD, and through the power of the Holy Spirit have experienced the new birth by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, are to love one another. We are to see things through the lens of the Scriptures, and do everything that we do as unto the Lord whom we serve.
Just as Jesus loved everyone so much that He gave Himself, as the Lamb of GOD that taketh away the sIn of the world, to pay the sIn penalty we cannot pay, and make it possible for us to be reconciled with GOD, so we are to love those within, as brothers and sisters in the faith, and those without, who are lost and dying without Christ and without hope in this world or the next. We are to be as He is, and be broken for the things that break GOD's heart, speaking Truth in love to all we encounter.
Because of what He has done for us, we are to minister to those who are hurting and in need, without partiality or preference, wise as serpents, and harmless as doves as GOD gives the increase. We are His ambassadors, and are to represent Him to those who do not know Him, making a difference in this world, as salt and light, and with the Word of GOD, so that others may know Him and the power of His resurrection. As we go, we are to make disciples with the Gospel, and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to all who will hear and believe, that in believing they might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
