LOVE an excellent way!!!!!!

LOVE doesn't mean to follow the wrong ways

Paul says in I CORINTHIANS 13 – ⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part.

JOHN 14:²³ Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

I don’t claim to know everything and neither accuse or get upset with others for differing with me in anything. Bible gives us a message that Our GOD is a GOOD GOD and Good all the time. Scriptures also tells us that GOD is LOVE. 
YESHUA commands us in John chap 13:34 To Love one another and then in I John it is written that He who doesn’t love his brother whom he sees how can he love GOD whom he can’t see. YESHUA encapsulates the whole LAW in two commands LOVE your GOD and LOVE PEOPLE who are created in the image of GOD.

Now we need to understand that when we talk about loving people , we Christians are far behind compared to non christians. Actually, there are so many non believers who love people more than us even they love animals. But how are we Christians supposed to be different.

Yeshua summarized the Law in two commandments in Matthew 22:37-40

1.       Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

2.     And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

So as a believer I am suppose to LOVE GOD which would lead me to HIS WORD, which in turn would take me to the commandment to LOVE people and now I choose to OBEY and LOVE my neighbor (everyone).

So far so good. John 3:16 shows us that GOD loves everyone but not everyone receives eternal life. Believing in the son of GOD is a choice. Now if I say I love everyone so I would follow their ways also even if there is no eternal life in them, even if they are not in line with GOD’s WORD, this would be a stupidity for us.

I am suppose to LOVE people, but not follow their ways or follow their doctrines which are not in line with GOD’s WORD. You see I can love a pagan worshipper but I am not suppose to follow his practices. Exodus 23:24 says “Don’t follow their practices”.

Now some simple questions for me.

Do I love Non Christians?

Of course, yes. I love them with the best of my ability(with the LOVE of GOD in my heart poured by the HOLY SPIRIT) and ask GOD every day to release more and more love in my heart for them; however I would never choose to follow their religious practices.

Do I love Catholics? Do I love Christians from different denominations CSI/CNI/Pentecostal/Brethren?

Of course, yes. I love catholic people; in fact one of my best friends is catholic. My forefathers were a part of CNI denomination, my aunties and Uncles are a part of CNI denomination. My parents and I come from Pentecostal back ground. I Love everyone but I would rather choose to follow GOD than any made religion or dogma.

What are you trying to say Bro. Rahul?

Simple, Let us Stop following men and their unscriptural dogmas, start following GOD alone, HIS WORD and the SPIRIT of GOD.

Let us Desire GOD more than anything else in the world. Let not our Jobs, ambitions or even our family become our priority. Let GOD alone and HIS WORD be our desire and priority.

Remember Gifts are free but rewards come with hard work.
