Beloved, let us love one another: for love
is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Love is an action word; I make this claim based
on the actions taken by God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ our Savior.
What was God's love action? The Father gave His Son and the Son gave His life
to redeem man from the jaws of sin. In doing so all who accept Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior will be saved. God's love action is also demonstrated in that
justice was demanded, but mercy took its place with Christ's atoning work on Calvary's cross.
The death believers have to die is to sin daily
because Satan is constantly trying to impede our walk with Christ. Loving as
God love believers have the ability to love thy neighbor because love trumps
hate and all the evilness hate bring.
Another school of thought, we are commanded to
love as Christ has loved us. He gave His life for us; therefore, to reciprocate
that love we are to love Him and our neighbors as ourselves. Loving others as
ourselves, then the world will know that we are ambassadors for Christ and are
of God.
The world hates us; therefore, let's show
the world more love.
