Love lifted me, when nothing else could help love lifted me.
”Yes I am the embodiment of love, I represent the whole concept of love in my being. Remember in 1 John “God is love”. My being cannot be separated from my attitude towards you, which leads to the way we can interact. As you learn more about me you are also learning more about love. So the concept that “ Love is the fulfilment of the law”, Simply recognises that the theme of love should control all our interactions and your interaction with each other and the world. When you doubt ask the question” Does this action or attitude reflect my love?”
As we pursue the consequences of living a life that has been transformed by the renewing of our minds, we have come to a focal point where we should recognise the importance of love being the guiding principal for our lives and our relationships both with each other and the Lord. Please read Romans chapter :8-14. We need to remember verse 10 which described love as the fulfillment of the law, to see the relevance of versus 11 to 14.
i was reminded again this week how important it is for us to remember, when we are having our devotions that they are more than just words on paper, as important as that source may be, but that we are meeting with our living God and interacting with him. It is very easy to slip into the mode of just trying to understand the script and forgetting their aim to understanding and experiencing our love relationship with our Saviour.
Today’s few verses from 11 to 14, act as a powerful motivation for us to make this way of living out out relationship with God by demonstrating our love for our Saviour and for each other as a way of living that is in line with God‘s will for us. The New Testament reminds us continuously that the world is rushing towards a conclusion of judgement and salvation when Jesus comes again. Since 2000 years have past it is easy forget the urgency. While He tarries we may pass from this life at any moment. So there is no room for complacency.
“The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.” So let us “Rather clothe ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ”.
May God bless each one of you this week.
