Love My God is also Love (1John 4:8). Anyone who loves, or has been shown love has seen God and has the capacity to know God. Another reason why who is right and wrong is irrelevant. Everyone has God in them, and I should love them for that alone. Love has the power to produce good in the forms of patience, kindness, and gentleness, etc. (1 Corinthians 13:4) which are good and produce even more "fruit." Those who choose to treat others how they want to be treated are showing love, like when when you show respect to someone even though you don't think they deserve it (Romans 13:10). So through love we show obedience to God, even if we (humans) do not except him as our God. As believers the greatest commandment is "Love your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37). And how we show that love is by showing it to others so that they may see his image and recognize him. |
"Some religious extremists will die for God and take you with them. But a TRUE Christian Extremist will die in your place so that you may know the love of Jesus Christ." Rik Roushar... Romans 5:7-8 "Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
