Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of GOD, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of GOD in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. (1Jn 3:13-18)
Our love in, through and because of our Lord Jesus Christ's love for us must be more than just a feel good or friendly emotion, but in action, sacrificially, and without thought for ourselves. Not just in simple words, but in our thoughts and prayers as well, just as we were in His. He humbly and willingly gave Himself for us, to pay our sIn debt, and to provide the only way to be reconciled with the Father both now and always. As His disciples, we ought to follow Him and His example, having the mind of Christ, and lay down our lives for our brethren.
But more so, He laid down His life for those who were without strength, for us when we could not save ourselves, to save those who repent and trust in Him and Him alone. He came to give His life a ransom for many, and completely without sIn, in submission to His Father's will, He paid the price that was demanded for sIn, that all of us, whose sIn separated us from the Father, could be reconciled and born again and be one with GOD by repenting of our sins and trusting in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. He is the only way of Salvation, and our only Hope in this life or the next.
We who are His, are called as ambassadors of His Kingdom to serve others and represent Him as we meet the needs of those around us who are hurting and in need. We are commanded to love one another and to grow in His Word, learning of Jesus Christ who is our life. We are commissioned to take Jesus Christ, the hope of Glory with us, and share the Gospel from His Word to every one we meet, that those who hear the Good News in repentance and faith might believe and 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,
