Love's Reach
Love’s
Reach
1
John 4:8
-”He
that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”
Bible
writers address the issue
of love. Especially Apostle Paul. He
examines
the issue of
the
atonement
of Christ Jesus
for
our
help
for
sinful infirmities. Love
has a healing aspect that cannot be overlooked. The Holy Book
contains the word love over eight hundred times.
Always
“love” is associated with the
effects of saving knowledge in producing obedience, and love to the
brethren.
Christian
love
(agape)
addresses
other
Christians as
little children, young men, and fathers. All are counseled
concerning
their
love of this world and
what Satan has to offer.
Also
they are instructed to guard
against erroneous
actions that appear often. We Christians, just as they,
are to anchor
the
soul in love. We must obey God’s commandments; all of them. We
must be strong in
love,
faith
and holiness.
When
have an Advocate with the Father; He is "Jesus," the
Savior, and "Christ," the Messiah, the Anointed. Only
he
is "the Righteous One," who perfectly obeyed the law of
God, and so fulfilled all righteousness. God’s
love reaches all the way to the earth and beyond.
He
made a new and
living way to
atonement.
The Word
of God
within
His own,
sets the heart against all sin, and stops the practice of it; at the
same time it gives blessed relief to the wounded consciences of those
who have sinned.
Woe unto those who cannot see that Christ is most worthy of our entire obedience? Living a disobedient life shows there is neither Holiness nor even honesty in the professor. The love of God is perfected in him that keeps his commandments. God's grace in him attains its true mark, and this is man's regeneration; though never absolutely perfect while in the flesh. Yet this obeying Christ's commandments prove Love and its extended reach. The commandment given by Jesus is all inclusive. He said: love one another as you love yourself and as I have loved you. but it might be called a new command as given to Christians. Christian love teaches us to value our brother's soul, and to dread every thing hurtful to his purity and peace. Necessitates that we recognize their needs and assist in so far as our ability permits.
- 1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
- 1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
- 1 Peter 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
How
far does love reach? It reaches to the deep recesses of God’s
creation and attaches to His heart. Know God, know peace. 07-31-91
