The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Do LOVE Your NEIGHBOUR And The STRANGER!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to INHERIT eternal life?  26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how READEST thou?  27 And he answering said, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself.  28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR?  30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.  31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.  32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.  33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,  34 and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.  35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.  36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves?  37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, and DO thou likewise” Luke 10:25-37.

“And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 and thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the FIRST commandment. 31 And the SECOND is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself. THERE IS NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE” Mark 12:28-31.

“But the STRANGER that DWELLETH with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt LOVE him as thyself; for ye were STRANGERS in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God” Leviticus 19:34.

Loving God – Will Cause All Things To Work Together For Your GOOD!

Loving God – Will Cause All Things To Work Together For Your GOOD!

Love is the working essence of all things for your good with God. If you want all things – positive or negative – to work for your good, then start loving God in spirit (hearts) and in truth (His Word).

Loving God is a deliberate conscious act from your hearts (human spirit) and not in your heads; knowing and understanding that God’s love is only poured or shared in human spirit (heart) by the Holy Spirit for a genuine expression of God’s love – Romans 5:5. This will cause all things to work for your good, as you can only make meaningful worship of God from your hearts of love towards Him.

Material instruments as Stethoscope, Scan, X-ray and more may be useful in human endeavors, yet can’t detect the human spirit, because the human spirit is eternal and not earthly. Simply put, the spirit of a man is the candle or lamp of the Lord, searching and watching all the inner depths of his heart, hence only can by all means worship God.

For Faith pleases God and Faith only functions by Love, and when Faith towards God is essence by Love, you’ve gotten hold of God for the release of His blessings upon you.

If you are desiring God’s BLESSEDNESS – just LOVE God; for ALL THINGS will work together for your GOODNESS, GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

Today, start Loving God.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE.  29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED.” Romans 8:28-30.

“For in Jesus Christ NEITHER circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.  10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.  11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.

LIVE AND MAXIMISE YOUR BEST LIFE IN EVERYWAY: SERVE AND WORSHIP GOD IN JOYFULNESS AND GLADNESS – IN THE NOW!

The current atmosphere in the world in essence may directly or indirectly be affecting your well-being; it may be traumatizing, frustrating, beyond human comprehension and control in every sense of your thoughts and imaginations. However, it may be, I want you to know and understand as God’s redeemed, it’s your time to take advantage of the atmosphere to celebrate your moment in grace and to live your best life in the now, in everyway, no matter what betides you in the course of doing life and in the grace wherein you stand in Christ Jesus stead.

It’s time to be gracious and graceful to SERVE the LORD GOD acceptably and WORSHIP Him worthily with joyfulness and gladness in every moment in the now, else you’ll serve your enemies and the resultant effect is: hunger, thirst, nakedness, oppression, bondage and such like the more. And I am not sure that’s where you intend to be in the grace wherein God has set you free in Christ Jesus to stand in His stead.

“Because thou SERVEDST not the Lord thy God with JOYFULNESS, and with GLADNESS of HEART, for the ABUNDANCE of all things; 48 therefore shalt thou SERVE thine ENEMIES which the Lord shall send against thee, in HUNGER, and in THIRST, and in NAKEDNESS, and in WANT of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee” Deuteronomy 28:47-48.

In times like this – you need to have a personal KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of Father God in Christ Jesus in your heart thoughts in LIFE and GODLINESS. For you ARE the circumcised or circumcision in the heart – spirit man, who SERVE and WORSHIP God from the spirit being, the SIXTH sense, the sense of FAITH by the WORD of God; and you need not have any DELIGHT to SERVE and WORSHIP God from the realm of the flesh – of the five senses, that is, to – feel, smell, taste, see and hear, in order to BELIEVE and exercise FAITH in God.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers WORSHIPPED in THIS MOUNTAIN; and ye say, that in JERUSALEM is the place where men ought to WORSHIP. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall NEITHER in THIS MOUNTAIN, nor yet at JERUSALEM, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye WORSHIP ye know not what: we know what we WORSHIP: for SALVATION is of the Jews. 23 But the hour COMETH, and NOW is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father SEEKETH such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

Therefore, I say to you in Christ Jesus stead:

SERVE AND WORSHIP GOD FROM YOUR SPIRIT BEING BY THE TRUTH – WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD. This thus mean you have no cause to feel LIMITED or lost in Christ Jesus. The KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that the CHURCH that Christ Jesus is BUILDING is YOU and it is the ARCHITECTURAL building that we crave to gather therein which currently appears to be at LOCKED DOWN momentarily. So lets live our BEST life now by all means in Christ Jesus.

I pray you have an awesome, amazing, gracious, graceful and a blessed day in everyway you do LIFE and GODLINESS.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION – The FAITH That WORKS

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION – The FAITH That WORKS: OPERATES In LOVE!

The FAITH that WORKS it’s found in them that LOVES God. Do you LOVE God? The reason being this: ALL THINGS will always WORK for those who LOVES God as they walk in the Kingdom Cause of God’s PURPOSE for them. Meaning, they are addicted to walk in OBEDIENCE to God’s WORD to win life battles through FAITH (1John 5:3-5). FOR GOD WILL ALWAYS COMMEND WHAT HE COMMAND.

For FAITH works by LOVE. Until LOVE is enthroned in our hearts, in our day to day dealings with God and others, in RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – there will always be a struggle in attaining to the FREEDOM we seek.

For LOVE is the summation of the LAW, and it’s unparalleled to the bondages of bye laws, traditions, oblations, creeds and dogmas of man-made enclaves to reach or please God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore – SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

“Now the end of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE heart, and of a GOOD conscience, and of FAITH unfeigned” 1 Timothy 1:5.

“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED his own which were in the world, he LOVED them unto the end . . . 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:1, 34-35.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep his COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS (BURDENSOME TASKMASTER IRKSOME)” 1 John 5:3.

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Do NOURISH And CHERISH Your SPOUSE And FAMILY!

There’s nothing as awesome as to MARRY the PERSON you LOVE and LOVING the PERSON that you MARRIED. It makes a great deal to the making of a WHOLESOME family and home. As such, it’s imperative that we LOVE, NUTURE, NOURISH and CHERISH our SPOUSE, and the FAMILY we’ve made out of such unique relationship.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Be ye therefore FOLLOWERS of God, as dear children;  2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a SWEETSMELLING SAVOUR. . .21 SUBMITTING yourselves one to another in the FEAR (REVERENCE) of God. 22 Wives, SUBMIT yourselves unto your own husbands, AS unto the Lord.  23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.  24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their OWN husbands in EVERY THING.  25 Husbands, LOVE your wives, EVEN AS CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR IT;  26 that he might SANCTIFY and CLEANSE it with the washing of water by the word,  27 that he might PRESENT it to himself a GLORIOUS church, not having SPOT, or WRINKLE, or ANY SUCH THING; but that it should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLEMISH.  28 So ought men to LOVE their wives as their own bodies. He that LOVETH his wife LOVETH himself.  29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but NOURISHETH and CHERISHETH it, even as the Lord the church:  30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.  31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.  32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.  33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” Ephesians 5:1-2, 21-33

“And Isaac BROUGHT her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he LOVED her: and Isaac was COMFORTED after his mother’s death” Genesis 24:67.

“Wives, SUBMIT yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, LOVE your wives, and be not BITTER against them. 20 Children, OBEY your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. 21 Fathers, PROVOKE not your children to ANGER, lest they be DISCOURAGED” Colossians 3:18-21.

“Children, OBEY your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 HONOUR thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 4 And, ye fathers, PROVOKE not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the NURTURE and ADMONITION of the Lord” Ephesians 6:1-4.

“That they may TEACH the young women to be SOBER, to LOVE their husbands, to LOVE their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. 7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 8 sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you” Titus 2:4-8.

“RID me, and DELIVER me from the hand of STRANGE children, whose MOUTH speaketh vanity, and their RIGHT HAND is a right hand of FALSEHOOD: 12 that our SONS may be as plants GROWN up in their YOUTH; that our DAUGHTERS may be as corner stones, POLISHED after the SIMILITUDE of a PALACE: 13 that our GARNERS may be full, AFFORDING all MANNER of store: that our SHEEP may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: 14 that our OXEN may be strong to labour; that there be NO BREAKING in, nor GOING out; that there be no COMPLAINING in our streets. 15 HAPPY is that people, that is in such a case: yea, HAPPY is that people, whose God is the Lord” Psalms 144:12-15.

LOVE AT ITS BEST

LOVE AT ITS BEST: IT DOES INSTRUCTS AND DISCIPLINES!

You may not like and love this except you genuinely wants God’s WORD to define you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

For some, LOVE is about been spoken to softly, taken to the mall for shopping, being shown with gifts now and then, taken for holidays, spoilt with every good thing or goodies while their shortfalls in real-life failings are never mentioned or told to them, which would rather help them amend, braze up, mature and grow; they don’t realize the dangers of not wanting the truth, until they found themselves in the breakpoints of life deceptions because such LOVE was never MEASURED with the true reality of life – discipline and instructions to righteousness.

Herein are three hard TRUTH in the lots about genuine LOVE one needs to give thoughts towards. There are needful in order to help you, and or your friend, spouse, colleagues, and those you love and care about:

1.*** LOVE with ‘OPEN REBUKES’ helps to SAVE! – Proverbs 27:5-6.

“OPEN REBUKE is better than SECRET love. 6 FAITHFUL are the WOUNDS of a friend; but the KISSES of an ENEMY are deceitful” Proverbs 27:5-6.

  1. *** LOVE That ‘CHASTENS’ helps to AMEND – Hebrews 12:5-11.

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor faint when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure CHASTENING, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father CHASTENETH not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which CORRECTED us, and we gave them REVERENCE: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days CHASTENED us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be PARTAKERS of his holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING for the present seemeth to be joyous, but GRIEVOUS: nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:5-11.

  1. *** Love that ‘OVERLOOKS/MAKES UP’ and helps to DELIVER from further sins! – 1 Peter 4:8/Proverbs 10:12.

“And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for love shall COVER (OVERLOOK, MAKES UP) the multitude of sins” 1 Peter 4:8 (Emphasis Mine).

“Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love COVERETH (OVERLOOK) all sins” Proverbs 10:12 (Emphasis Mine).

God wants us to love while we enjoy His love shed and spread abroad in our inner hearts by the Holy Spirit of love. It’s by this love of God we are saved. And God has commended His Love towards us in Christ Jesus to enable us live in Christ Jesus stead by it.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS

By Leave a Comment

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS: IS AT A COST – THE COST OF LOVE!

LOVE is an ESSENCE of life that everyone talks about daily, wants to both give and experience, but how many know and understood the magnanimity of the cost of LOVE to both receive from the giver and to offer the same or more to another. It must be known and understood, that, every great relationship that has stood the pace of time, is because of the absolute commitment and dedication in self-denials for the good of the other, in order to ensure that the bedrock of LOVE upon which they are and were founded, grounded, rooted and characterized are NEVER allowed to be shaken by any factors known and unknown that contradicts the LOVE in essence. (Ephesians 3:17-19; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13). And as a child of God in Christ Jesus’ stead, I know how much you want to daily experience being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus as you appropriate the ESSENCE. I am here to tell you that it’s at a cost – LOVE cost. The MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence is born out of the COST of LOVE. And it’s in our going through the journey of knowing and understanding that LOVE is at a COST, that makes the essence meaningful and fulfilling as we appropriate.

I want to emphasize emphatically that being able to exercise the essence of being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus’ stead, is at a cost. IT WASN’T JUST A MERE GIVEN. It’s not cheap and out there at no cost. It’s at the cost of LOVE. It COST God His Son, our Lord, and Saviour Jesus Christ, and it COST His Son, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ His life at the cross of crucifixion, through the pains and pangs of suffering even unto death.

And this His life COST to us by Father God, was and is – LOVE. Meaning therefore, that God’s LOVE, AGAPE, the unconditional, principle, non-sentimental, transcending, surpassing and scriptural context LOVE, wherein He loves us to give His only Beloved Son, the first begotten from the dead, and by whom, it beholds Him to call us BRETHREN, expended it all in LOVE at a cost for our sake without a shadow of turning. (Romans 8:28; John 3:16; Revelation 1:5-6)

Therefore, it becomes apparent, that it takes a PURE CONSCIENCE of God’s genuine LOVE at a COST, which sometimes and most times, where possible, takes a toe on us, for one to actually and genuinely APPROPRIATE the MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence in Christ Jesus. Hence the characteristics of LOVE is a vitality to ensure a genuine LOVE cost. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21.

And I ask you today – do you want to experience the fulness, wholeness, perfection, completeness and maturity of the MORE THAN CONQUERORS stead in Christ Jesus? How much PREPARED are you to LOVE God in Christ Jesus stead, no matter what betides you for the cause of living, in following Him all the way? How PREPARED are you to say daily to take a stand in the Lord before the enormous challenges of life MATTERS when you are BUFFETED for your FAITH in God in Christ Jesus? Can you be emboldened to say I love the LORD and His cause and you will follow along irrespective of these but not limited elements of opposition to your FAITH and devotion to God in Christ Jesus: condemnation, or tribulation, or distress, persecution, or famine, nakedness, or peril, or sword, or death, or life, or angels, or principalities, or powers, or things present, or things to come, or height, or depth, or any other creature and such like. (Romans 8:31-39).

May I say that you need to be fully PERSUADED and CONTRAIN to LOVE God by His LOVE that He has GIVEN us by His Spirit for you to actualised in essence in your being – MORE THAN CONQUERORS dimensions of following God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:35, 37, 39; 2 Corinthians 5:11-15; Romans 4:17-21)

To be MORE THAN CONQUERORS over your ENEMY and COHORTS for example, it takes taking an account to count the COST of LOVE to God’s WORD to do the SCRIPTURAL DEMAND to love your ENEMY and COHORTS, to feed them if in hunger and to quench their thirst with a drink as the scriptures enjoined. And it’s in pleasing God by taking the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH as it’s demand of you, that you can genuine appropriate the essence of being A MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. (1 John 5:1-5; Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 12:20-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Proverbs 16:7; Hebrews 11:6; Galatians 5:6)

Take time today and always to ask yourself on how much to go to LOVE God back in His LOVE definition stand, that’s GIVEN to you by the bestowed Holy Spirit to ensure, as He loves you, just as for His Son to SUFFER in LOVE to genuinely LOVE you too. That’s how to live through LOVE in FAITH toward God and His Christ in all matters of doing life and living godly and through the avenues of any relationship but not limited in – Marriage, Friendship, Colleagues, Business, Career, Leadership, Ministry, Community and such like.

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK, that LOVE is at a COST to ensure one to be able to appropriate to the FULNESS, a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead.

May God find you faithful and in faith in His BLESSEDNESS, in experiencing the cost of LOVE, to be MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Him, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“BEHOLD, what MANNER of LOVE the Father hath BESTOWED upon us, that we should be CALLED the SONS of God: therefore the world KNOWETH us not, because it KNEW him not” 1 John 3:1.

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . .   8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

“Who in the days of his FLESH (HUMANITY), when he had OFFERED up prayers and supplications with STRONG CRYING and TEARS unto him that was able to SAVE him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 though he were a Son, yet LEARNED he OBEDIENCE by the things which he SUFFERED; 9 and being made PERFECT (COMPLETE, WHOLE, MATURED, FULNESS), he became the AUTHOR of eternal salvation unto all them that OBEY him” Hebrews 5:7-9 (Emphasis Mine). 

“For this is THANKWORTHY, if a man for CONSCIENCE toward God ENDURE grief, SUFFERING wrongfully. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be BUFFETED for your faults, ye shall take it PATIENTLY? but if, when ye do well, and SUFFER for it, ye take it PATIENTLY, this is ACCEPTABLE with God. 21 For even hereunto were ye CALLED: because Christ also SUFFERED for us, leaving us an EXAMPLE, that ye should follow his steps: 22 who did NO sin, neither was GUILE FOUND in his mouth: 23 who, when he was REVILED, REVILED not again; when he SUFFERED, he THREATENED not; but COMMITTED himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24 who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls” 1 Peter 2:19-25. 

“For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 GREATER LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his LIFE for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:12-16.

“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED his own which were in the world, he LOVED them unto the END. 2 And supper being ended, the DEVIL having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to BETRAY him . . . 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By THIS (LOVE) shall ALL men know that ye are MY DISCIPLES, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:1-2, 34-35 (Emphasis Mine). 

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine ENEMY. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, do GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the CHILDREN of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye LOVE them which LOVE you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye SALUTE your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (WHOLE, MATURED COMPLETE FULNESS), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT” Matthew 5:43-48 (Emphasis Mine).

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us. 35 WHO shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that NEITHER death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:31-39.
