An Epitome Illustration Of Love Amplified From Romans
Romans 5 vs 7 - 8
- 7 Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a noble and lovable and generous benefactor, someone might even dare to die.
- 8 But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.
In the body of Christ today, there's so much of segregation, a sick system (guided by the celebral reasoning without the help of the holy spirit) performed by leaders of the Church. We realize that is not everyone that is trained all along in the work of God. In most cases the unavailable ones are kept in place of the available ones, and actions such as the former brings in political activities into the household of God, a state where the love of God is not felt by everyone but emotions stirred by the works of the flesh. There is a need for one to see others the way God sees them thereby loving them as they are while hoping to see them become the best.
Note: By the help of this post is to help the reader realize what God's love requires.
In Walking with God, there's not a need for self perfection but a need to humble ourselves before God and allow His will prevail over us. God's thought is not for us to change ourselves just so that He would love us, because this He did even while we were yet sinners by giving us Jesus, a deep expression of His love and interest towards mankind despite our imperfections. There's a need for us to live the same way, showing love without condition. We can't change others by who we think we are, we can't make other people become better by tormenting them, we only make a lasting change by our relationship of love with them, a righteous love, reckless and Christlike in nature. We are even more better the way God has made us.
1 Corinthians 9 vs 22
- To the weak, I have become weak that I might win the weak and overscrupulous. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
Paul was referring to you and I. Here he valued everyone and had to adjust to all forms of character just for Christ's sake, he had to become subject to the kind of love Jesus expressed during his lifetime on Earth. Part of Paul's love during his time was to turn people in darkness to light. This simply means helping in love people to become even much better without segregation. This we can do in all affairs of our lives, to various kinds of people we come across, to the body of Christ; Sharing God's word, His love with intentions of making them become who God wants them to be and not who we want them to become. May God's love in you animate His perfect will for your Life this period. Amen!
