Philippians 1:9
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more
and more in knowledge and in all judgments;
From our scripture text we can
conclude the meaning of abound is to grow or increase in love as we emulate the
love of God as He is love. Love is fundamental to the Christian faith. The love
Paul is referencing is not merely head knowledge, but a spiritual love that
springs from the heart as it reveals our personal relationship with God. It is
noteworthy to say that having a personal relationship with God all believers
can and will develop a brotherly love relationship with our brothers and
sisters (1 Thessalonians 3:12).
How can we have a deeper knowledge
and love for God? This is accomplished by knowing the Word of God through daily
Bible reading and meditating on His Word and His Will (Acts 22:14). Knowing
God's Word all believers expresses a nearness to God, fellowship with Him and
obedience to His Word and Will. With that being said, all believers have good
judgment between good and evil and with the help of the Holy Spirit the ability
to avoid evil.
Love is an
action word. God loves all,
believers we are to love all.
