Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. Matthew 22:37-38
Love is a gift in itself and it has the power to destroy the works of the evil ones. The truths of it had not only weakened the stance of Satan but it has also led to the redemption of many. This is the gift which was given unto mankind to save them from the curses of the law. Love can be defined by various means and in various ways. Love made the way and only love can save us from the pits of hell. The ultimate truth concerning this virtue is that either we will be saved by it or be destroyed because we failed to gain it. If we truly claim to have love in our hearts, we should be willing to sacrifice our wants, needs and possessions to serve God. Truly love is all about sincerity, commitment and self-control. It is written tin the scripture that love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always preserves ( 1st Corinthians 13:4-7 ). The scripture has always been my guide and always will be. The Spirit of God which is the Spirit of love has always made me draw closer to God through its powerful conviction. The power of this virtue still continues to work wonders in the lives of all the lovers of God. When the love of God is in us our views on life becomes more God oriented and Christ centred. Our God is a God of power, a God of love and a God of mercy and compassion. We should desire this very virtue of God that God’s love can be reflected in our lives. When the gift of love is in us, the gift of life becomes part of us. the Word of God says “ Let those who love the Lord hate evil, for he guards the hearts of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hands of the wicked ( Psalm 97:10). Every believer should desire the love of God in their lives. Let the power of love be in you that the power of God can be manifested in you. The power of love is here and the Church of Christ stands by all the faithful ones. Be with us and be empowered with us. The Church of Christ loves you.
