The Love Posture

“Beloved, if God loved us so [very much], we also ought to love one another”. The example has been given. God first loved us by sending His only begotten Son to die for our sin. Since Jesus lived a sinless life while on earth we can have a chance at loving each other God’s way. Jesus destroyed the works of the devil, and freedom from habitual wrong doing is available. We can’t love one another if we’re bound by the sin nature. The love of God was shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit at the new birth. The ability is in us to love with the agape love of God. It’s a selfless love of sacrifice at times, but aligning ourselves with the teachings and precepts of the Lord, we can. Love is like any other habit forming entity, the more you love, the easier it is to do so. It takes practice especially with unlovable people. But that seed of love planted in you when you got saved, needs to grow like a tree, firm, and immovable, becoming a sure foundation ready for anything life throws at it.
