Without Love, We Are No Better Than They Are

The norm in this world is every man for himself, that selfish mentality we all grew up in from childhood. The sin nature dominated our life driving us further away from God. It has become uncommon for people to show acts of love, and caring gestures. By this everyone will know that we are the Lord’s disciples, showing love to one another. As Christians our nature has been changed. We have been reborn with a heart of flesh, not a stony heart of stubbornness held in bondage to sin. We are love children born of a love God. The only issue is we still think the way we did before our conversion. The renewing of our minds is vitally important to know what happened to us at the point of being saved. We still have the propensity to mess up but are no longer stuck in the unbreakable habit of wrong doings. What makes us different from a sinner is first of all our destination is the opposite of an unsaved person. They die and go to hell, we die and go to heaven with the Lord. While still here on planet earth, we must show love towards each other. It is the only major difference between us and the world. It doesn’t just happen for us, we must invoke our wills to stay in step with love’s way. Sacrifice on our part is a part of showing that agape love to others. If we can give up responding to an offense against us especially because of our faith, then we’re on the right track.
