My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the Truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemn us, GOD is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward GOD. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. (1Jn 3:18-22)
Just as the Father loves us unconditionally so must we love one another completely and in truth. Just as the Father loved us, even when we were unlovable, so must we love those who are unloveable. We must demonstrate the Father's love to those around us, speaking the Truth in love to those who are not of the family of GOD, and provoking one another unto good works to minister both to those within, and those without. In this is the Commandment to love one another kept, and GOD is glorified in His children.
While we are here, sojourning in this world but not of it, we are to be about our Father's business. We minister to those in need, always ready to give an answer of the Hope that is within us, and doing the Will of Him who sends us to this lost and dying world to preach the Gospel and share the Good News of Jesus Christ to those who do not know Him. We are to engage and enable people to enjoy Jesus Christ. Not to earn any points, or gain Heaven, but because it pleases our Heavenly Father when His children obey and accomplish the work He has for us to do.
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. Believe His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary is sufficient for forgiveness and Salvation and surrender to Him on His terms. Trust Him and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Receive Him by faith and let Him give you a new heart and remove the condemnation that we have earned because of our sIn.
In Christ,
