What’s the breadth of the spread of Christ’s love? Does it extend to people who snub you? And to those who want nothing to do with you? Can you still express His love?
Yes, He said He has raised us up together, made us sit together in the heavenlies that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace. So then what are the riches of His grace?
All things work together for those that love God with an agape love. That’s what’s God is looking for. That pure, deep, sweet, Calvary love, that the Holy Spirit of God puts in your heart when you trust Jesus Christ, the Savior. You can’t love God unless God puts his Holy Spirit within you.
Elders are to preach God’s word and they are to be an example in what they say or don’t say. Be an example by the way you live out your life. We can only show God’s love to others by spending time in God’s presence.
Being of one mind includes having compassion or sympathy for what the person is facing. We can be like-minded through the love Christ puts in our hearts and suffer along with others. Be courteous and humble about yourself.
True sacrificial love has to come from a changed heart, changed by the Holy Spirit. Your heart’s attitude towards others will change as you pray for people in your life.
Holiness is reflected in the use of your body. And if you want to be sure that you’re ready for the Lord Jesus Christ, be sure that you’re living in a way that honors Him in everyday living.
