Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.
1 John 3:18 NASB
Category: Love
Nothing can separate us from the Love of God!
37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly a conquer through b Him who loved us. † 38 For I am convinced that neither a death, nor life, nor b angels, nor principalities, nor a things present, nor things to come, nor powers, † 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from a the love of God, which is b in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jesus conquered death, so that we might conquer life (Both here on earth, as well as for all of eternity)! Can I get an Amen?
Mankind, can never earn their salvation! It is a futile effort, to do this in our own strength. The Good News though, is God makes it all possible, through Jesus. We are forever grateful Lord, for what yoo have given freely to those who will receive. Amen
And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26 NASB
Is this not a beautiful picture, of what the church is supposed to be? Yesterday I said, Love covers a multitude of sins. Let us show Grace, as Grace has been fully given to us. May our hearts be forever changed by Jesus.
Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2 NASB
Faith, Hope, Love…….but the greatest of these is Love.
The verse below, has great depth and meaning, but this blog (for now), is not for a deep, in depth study. Just know, Love covers a multitude of sins. Thank you Jesus, for showing us what perfect Love is.
For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, ” you shall love your neighbor as yourself .”
Galatians 5:14 NASB
This is so difficult for me. It is only, through the eyes of Jesus, and the power of the Holy Spirit, that I am able. Interestingly, this is not a suggestion, but a command! Start somewhere, and the Lord will help you grow in this. Remember, we were enemies of God, until we surrendered to Jesus, through the work of the cross. He loved us, before we could love him.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
Luke 6:35 NASB
Every day is a new challenge, but every day we must pick up our cross, and follow Jesus. Let me know what that looks like for you today, or in the coming week. Let us encourage one another to Love and good deeds.

the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.
1 John 2:6 NASB
Let us always be filled with this miracle, that allows us to live a life of purpose. If this doesn’t make sense to you, please see the link below (Gospel Kingdom). May the Lord open your heart to his truth.
My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.
1 John 4:9 MSG
Here is a gut check, on your Love of God, and love of people. Always remember, God made ALL men in the image of God! All, need to be reconciled to God. We were all once lost, until we were found! Can I get an Amen?
If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
1 John 4:20 NASB
Are you going through the motions with God…….Don’t think he doesn’t know. He desires relationship and devotion, but hypocrisy he will deal with. Read the rest of the chapter to see. May we humble ourselves before you LORD. You are a gracious God who Loves us. You care enough to discipline us, when we elevate ourselves above you, to bring us back in the fold.
Then the Lord said, “Because this people draw near with their words And honor Me with their lip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me, And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote,
