John 13:35 "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
Love, love is another stage of the separation. The world is lacking true love, true love such as Agape love. not the love that is temporary but an everlasting love. That love when shown will separate us clearly from others. I have seen the effects of true love! it penetrates cold hard hearts and softens the deepest parts! it cuts behind years of pain and scars and sets the captive free! The concept of loving in a world like this is radical! what kind of love am I talking about? a love that won't be limited because another believer in the body of Christ thinks the felon on the street is hopeless case or someone who they treat as an outcast because of their past or career. This lobe will not be limited by only serving inside the church, this love must be demonstrated the biblical way. the way of John 15:13. A sacrificial love for one another an agape love for one another putting others before ourselves a love that does not consider us(1st cor 13). When I say we love the unsaved I mean we LOVE the unsaved we need to not be tract team swat members out there to only throw tracts and then hide in the church. We need top be among the unsaved simply loving on them! we need to make disciples not converts!
This is a radical idea, but I have seen Love change lives I have seen a felon go from a simple church goer to a on fire for the Lord. I have seen people who have been lured in by dead religion be revived because they were really loved!
this is just few stories! Lord, let us love!
this is my prayer for the church and this is the way the world will know we are different.
