This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
If we are in fact Christian, we are to love. I know that as Christians we try to be "like" Jesus; we don't do certain things and we take a stand against certain things and we pride ourselves at times on being peculiar. The Bible says we are peculiar, but when the Bible says peculiar it means, a special purchased treasure, we are set apart as God's property. Our definition of peculiar often runs along the line of weirdness. I have often said that many "so called Christians" are some of the weirdest people you will ever meet.If we really are Christian we are going to love the things that God loves.
- We will love Him.
- We will love His Word.
- We will keep His commandments.
- We will love each other as Christians.
- We will love others who might not know how wonderful Jesus is.
If we do love God, than we must prove it to others; show someone how much you love God by your actions and your attitudes. Let your Christianity "leak" out into your relationships and lifestyle. I am pretty sure that non-Christians are pretty tired of the "weirdness" of christianity; let them experience a relationship, you love them first, then maybe they can trust enough to love Jesus.Go out and prove you are a Christian...Love people to Jesus!
Good! Showing love one to another - genuine, honest outward expressions - sharing, caring, giving to those in need or not - is "living a christian life" Anyone can be ugly, unkind or even bitter...that is an easy emotion... srength of character is showing love at all times. I know, this is me ... Dicky Bird... the emotional one... but it is true! A "strong" person will be kind and show love in the worst of situations! Frank, thanks for always being an example of that to me!
