We as Christians should look at ourselves and ask questions. Who are we that we can’t display the kind of love that Jesus did? Jesus, who took our place for our sins. He who became a sacrifice for each of us. This Jesus, the holy Son of God, became our sacrifice. By His blood we are cleansed of our sins and made pure in the eyes of God.
Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV). The apostle Paul beautifully writes: "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
This love is beyond our ability to comprehend, but is still there. We are commanded to love others as He loves us. Jesus said • "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." (The first and great commandment)
• "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." (The second, which is like unto it. Matthew 22:40
If we live in love as Jesus demonstrated we begin to change. The way we see each other, the way we treat each other changes. We become different than we were and different from the rest of the world. We become what God wants us to be. This shows the world and those around us that we are Christian, and that we believe in the word of God. As Christians we start acting like it and our whole lives change to that of peace. We start seeing the words of Jesus come alive in ourselves.
Our faith will grow stronger and the blessings become innumerable. The Lord looks upon us with pleasure and we have not grieved Him, but have praised Him with our lives. What better way to glorify God than by living His way? Treat others as you would like to be treated. Give council to those who ask and never be ashamed of who you are. You are a child of the living God. You are an inheritor of the kingdom of God with Jesus. You are a saved person and belong to our Lord and no one can take you from Him. You will know in your whole self that you belong to God and this world has no hold on you.
You will know that in this life you are just passing through, on your way to your eternal life with the Lord. As you know, this life is temporary, it is definitely just a whisper. The second life, the one we are going to is eternal, meaning without end. So praise God and be blessed, and pass what blessings on to others as you can. AMEN
