A Life Of Love

                                                               1 John 5

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.  2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.  3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.  4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.  5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.  7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.  8 And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.  10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.  11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.  12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.  13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.  15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. 16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.  17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death 18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.  19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.  20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus   Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

 

True life can only be obtained by connecting to the life giver, our God.  God has given us commands and promises when these commands are taken seriously and walked out then the blessings can come.  It is not hard to believe in something other than yourself.  If you are trying to manifest something bigger than yourself then you must believe that faith and love in God can be taken on by humbling ourselves working the fruits of our spirit; kindness, gentleness, meekness, longsuffering, etc.  God is the vine and we are the branches if we so choose to be.  Without Him we can do nothing He says only to become more and more angered at what we see and hear around us. There is a mission outlined in our bibles that Christ Jesus and God wants us to execute in this kingdom and it can only start by us believing, trusting and having faith that it can come to pass. This is through a true loving heart. Yes you may feel like a fish swimming upstream as you come against the wickedness that lurks around us.  To tear down satan’s empire but if God be for us who can be against us. We have a heavenly family brothers and sisters who are praying and rooting us on in this fight and you will come to know this when God sees you  giving your all and all diligently seeking His truth. So strap on the suit of armor and win this fight in love.

 

May God bless your day.
