Relationships, Only 3 Count! - Part #5
THE COMMANDS OF GOD ARE TO RELATE!
Scripture References: Mark 12:29-30, Matthew 12:29-31, Luke 10:25-3, Colossians 1:5, 1Corinthians 12:3, 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, Revelation 2:4, 1 John 4:9
The Relationships of God in His authoritative commands HAVE NOT CHANGED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME. From Genesis to Revelation, God has been and reveals as He speaks through His Son, Jesus Christ, to Love God and our neighbor!
In just two Commands of the Creator and All Powerful one, He has instructed us as His People to RELATE to ourselves and others, THROUGH the obedience of love unto HIM with every tool He has given us; Our heart, Our mind, Our soul and Our strength!
It is IN THIS LOVE, true agape Love of God that Born Again Believers walk out salvation living in the image and likeness of Christ, being the visible representation of our invisible Father, who is God!
IN THIS LOVE, in the likeness of HIM, every gift within you, every talent you may have, ALL that the Holy Spirit empowers in you, must be executed IN LOVE, IN RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER! AND GOD SAID IT! It is the MORE EXCELLENT WAY!
In the RELATIONSHIP with God, YOU are in RELATIONSIP with His Son and His Spirit! In the RELATIONSHIP with His Son, your LORD, you are RELATIONSHIP with yourself as the begotten of God. It is in this RELATIONSHIP, known by God and knowing Him as Father that you see…you are not alone.
God created all mankind, “humankind”. When He opens your eyes to “see” humankind in need and you respond in the expression of God through mercy, they become your “neighbor”.
It is in RELATIONSHIP in Christ that you walk and respond as The Father who has compassion for the ones He created. We, the people of God are to LOVE ANTOHER IRRELGARDLESS OF CURCUMSRTANCES OR BENEFITS to ourselves! We are to love AS God IS and Trust HIM for our keeping and our reward! We are LOVE them that they know God through His demonstration of LOVE to us as believers…the giving of His Son!
The Church does not like to talk about love! But!! Holy Spirit reveals through The Bible, we have nothing, IF we don’t have LOVE; Our God and His Way.
Agape Love is a sacrifice of self and the offering of you to HIM daily in every word and deed. You are anointed, in the RELATIONSHIP of Jesus Christ BUT if you leave YOUR FIRST LOVE, what do you have?
RETHINK WHO GOD WHO IS, AND THE LOVE OF GOD THATS IN YOUR VERY LIFE! HE COMMANDS US TO LOVE, IN RELATIONSHIPS! THE IMAGE OF GOD IS LOVE! FOR OUR GOD IS LOVE!
