1 | Greater Love | 1 John 4:7 | ebrain | 164586 | ||
Read Romans 5:5. The Love that is "poured out" is in fact the love of God via the Holy Spirit, but this will only happen if you allow The Lord to have complete, and total control of you, and all that you are. How to do this is shown by Jesus, see John 5:19 and 30, also John 14:10. "Not my will, but thine be done". Happy Christmas Mark to you, and all your family. God bless. Edwin. |

Hi Edwin, I'd like to add a note also on John 5:19: Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. So to increase our love for each other, we should censure ourselves of those words and deeds that the Father would not do. I could not agree more. It is a very difficult thing to do, to be always conscious of what we are saying and doing, before we say or do it, so that we can stop ourselves before becoming unloving. We must pray constantly, for ourselves and each other, that we can do this. Thank you, brother! Love in Christ, Mark |

Thank you Mark. It only fair for me to point out that our Lord Jesus had one huge advantage over us in being able to perform His Fathers will, and that is that He was not born a sinner, as we are, but He who knew no sin, was made sin for us all. He did not only come here to die for us, but also to show us by His life, how we can live in the way that God intended us to in the first plase. Examine carefully how He, Jesus did it, and you will at the same time discover how you are intended to do it. Pay special attention to His own description of the attitude that He allways adopted towards His Father. John's Gospel is best for this, look at Ch 1 v 18, Ch 11 vs 41b and 42, It was not Jesus who raised Lazarus from the dead, but as Acts 2:22, says "God did through Him". May the Lord bless you adundantly brother Mark. Yours, in His service. Edwin. |
