ABOUNDING IN THE LOVE OF GOD (2)

John 13:35 (CEV) Hebrews 10:24 (TPT), Hebrews 6:10 (NLT)

If you love each other, everyone will know that you are my disciples. *Discover creative ways to encourage others and to motivate them toward acts of compassion, doing beautiful works as expressions of love. *For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do.

Walking in love is a major sign of our salvation. “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death,” (1 John 3:14). It is a major ability we receive from the life of God the moment we got saved and it is a major sign we are the disciples of Christ. Jesus said it is by loving one another that people will know we are His disciples.

Jesus also said when we do anything unto the least believer in Him, we are doing it unto Him, (Matt.25:40). This is why when Saul was persecuting the church, Jesus said “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” (Acts 9:4)

Walking in love is a major key to releasing the supernatural/manifesting spiritual gifts. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul spoke about the gifts of the Spirit. In the last verse, he encouraged us to desire the best gifts and he ended by saying “I show you a more excellent way.” In chapter 13, he then spoke about love. Love is the more excellent way to manifest the gifts of the Spirit. The gifts of the Spirit are activated by the love of God in your heart and the desire to express the love of God to others. Out of your belly will flow rivers of living water, (John 7:38-39). Love is both our motive and motivation for the gifts of the Spirit.

Prayer:
Father, I thank you for the ability you have given me to express your love to others. May your love overflow from me more and more.
