Knowing, Seeing, And Understanding, God Through Love

Knowing and seeing God. Do we actually do this are we actually showing this? Do we know and understand His love do others see His love through us? Think about it before you answer.

1 John 4:7-12 (NKJV) 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

The first thing I hear in a situation with an unsaved or with someone who slipped or fell is, “Hate the sin and Love the sinner!” Were is that found? It is not in the Bible yes we need to remove ourselves from sin and yes we are to love everyone. It is quoted as a verse from our Bible not there…

I think we have some things that need to be fixed today. We, as Christians are to love period. Yes that is hard sometimes however so is doing good for one that hates you we find that in Proverbs 25:22 (NKJV) For so you will heap coals of fire on his head, And the Lord will reward you.

We also find in Romans 12:20 (NKJV) 20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” OK let us see what it is there for.

Romans 12:19 (NKJV) Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. If we leave it to our Father he will take care of it. Guilt will set in, if we see it or not. It is hard to be nice to someone that has hurt you, however, our Fathers wrath is worse than anything anyone of us could do.

Love is our Father He is love total and complete love. Jesus showed it when He was hanging on the cross. Luke 23:34 (NKJV) 34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots. We also see it from Steven in Acts 7:60 (NKJV) Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Paul was standing there holding the coats for those that were going to stone him. The end of the verse, to me, they did not get the pleasure of killing him he just laid down and went to sleep… (meaning he died).

Let us practice loving others and see what happens. Thank you for reading and may God bless and be with you and watch over you. And let us understand, it is time for us to BLESS GOD…  This Ministry is supported with and by your love offerings, please consider helping us to spread the Gospel around the world.

Psalm 23:1 (NKJV) 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not [lack]want.
