Let Love be Sincere

"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality." Romans 12:9-13


Love Must Be Sincere! You can not love people the way Christ loved them, if your love is not...sincere. The best way to love like Christ is to be selfless. That's what true love is all about. It's about putting your needs off to the side and caring and taking interest into the needs of others around you. It means to worry about what needs to be done for that person or this person, to be able to help them out in their life and not expecting or wanting anything in return. It means to place your life down for your friends without hesitation because you love them. Which sadly the world doesn't love this way and sometimes it's so frustrating to see what love the world does see as good genuine love and expects us to love like it. NEVER! The world's love is not Christ's love! it is not based on putting others first or allowing your love to have sincerity, the worlds love is ALL ABOUT SELF! It's about what can I get out of this relationship or what can I get out of this friendship or what can I get out of this certain situation in life! IT'S A BUNCH OF NONSENSE! How can love be for self? IT CAN'T! do you know why? We point at a great relationship and say that's true love, but guess what my friends... it's not! Because God points to His murdered Son on the Cross and says this is true love. "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13. That my friends is true love. Our Savior Jesus Christ who took on the sin of the world has true love and yet the way the world repays Him is by lowering the value of true love! We should fall on our faces in repentance, because we have lowered God's true meaning of love. Love like Romans 12:9-21 put others before yourself. Love...Protect...and give hear to God's Word!

To God be the Glory!
