It's all a Christian is. Love and nothing else. I have been what the liars world calls dead, and I was raised, I have been beaten, tortured, attacked and it has all been so beautiful. No sacrafice, no suffering, Love. That's it. Beautiful. The liar and fool think being in God is sacrafice, is suffering, and thats because they hate God and only know Satan. Know they are liars. God is Love, nothing else. Jesus' words. Do not follow Satan and Satan's lies. I know God, I know Jesus, I am with them and I have seen them and see them. The Liar does not.
Amen, even here likewise
1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God,
because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
1 John 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God,
because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
1 John 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
It is my understanding that one of the hallmarks of Christianity is Love.

resurrection,
such a sweet thread...
because it is the 'First Fruit of The Spirit',...,
and it covers a multitude of sins...oh how hubby and I pray that we may accomplish
and live-up to the Holy requirements of our Saviour's Love, in 1Cor. 13.,-
for then we would be conforming to the image of Jesus Christ, for God is Love, -
but it is for certain that it is the greatest ever race to run and to pray
that we may accomplish it through Jesus Christ our Lord, -
for His Love, in its purest and Holiest state is what we as brethren should
always try to attain to...

Here are a few I really love together which I believe help to show between them even better comparitively
1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you,
that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
2 John 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, yeshould walk in it.
1 John 2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
1 John 2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
Again,
2 John 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning,ye should walk in it.
This is love... ye should walk "in it"... which is to walk in love
Ephes 1:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Walking in the light, walking in love, or walking in the truth even as these testified of the truth which was in them
3 John 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth
Of which he had heard,
3 John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth
The witness was of their charity
3 John 1:6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well
3 John 1:7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
Walking in the light, in the truth and not in darkness has to do with walking in love and less to do with what you say, as it shows you can say anything. If a man SAY is shown between them all, its what they do that defines the truth they walk in as it is seen also in them which pratcice the truth.
We are being "perfected in love"
1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of Godperfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
Same is shown here
1 John 4:9 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
Charity itself being the bond of perfectness (and the greater between three, faith, hope, and charity)
1John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to bethe propitiation for our sins.
Then he continues
1 John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Seeing that He loved us first is responding in the same
1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Again, If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
1 John 4:21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Walking in the light or walking in the darkness is shown between walking love (light/life) and/or hate (darkness/death) towards the brethren even
1 John 2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
1 John 2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
1 John 2:11But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
This way, darkness and death are also used interchangeably in respects to loving not (or hating) ones brother
1 John 2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
Same shown here
1 John 2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
1 John 2:11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
Same here, shown between having life in them (toward another) or abiding in death (as toward the same) in contrast
1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, becausewe love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
Then you can show the others wrapped up in the same
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:9For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt notcovet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Romans 13:10Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
1 Cr 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
For in Christ is a faith that works by love
Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
A new creature
Gal 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
The two of these are shown together throughout, this way
Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
And here even,
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments ofGod, and the faith of Jesus.
Loving ones brother is doubled alongside of doing righteousness, it doesnt stand alone (there is a neither)
1 John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
1 John 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Not as Cain who slew Abel
1 John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
And being of that wicked it says,
Gen 4:8 And Cain talked** with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against** Abel his brother, and slew** him.
Same spiritually speaks of the wicked's words going after someone for their blood
Prov 12:6 The words of*** the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.(see 2 Ti 4:17 also)
As the words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood as Cain (being of that same wicked) talking with Abel did lie in wait for his blood and did slay him, which blood cried out to God in that slaying.
David says,
Psalm 64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity
( Tongue is a world of iniquity James 3:6 )
The words of the wicked working iniquity similiarly
Psalm 64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
Psalm 64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
That Psalm and this one are pretty good when it come to the wicked because it says here also
Psalm 37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
And the same in Psalm 64:3 of the wicked's words in the similar context
Psalam 37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
And speaks of their own tongue falling upon them and entering their own heart.
The last few sort of went a lttle off topic, but I thought it was pretty cool how one can see lying in wait for one spiritually speaking (and for the blood of another in that way). Hating someone like that and being a predator in like ways.
Peace, God bless you
as far as we are concerned, there is no comparision between Jesus' Love that He bestowed upon us (humans)
as the purest example known to man of Godly Love, but, there is only One, only ONE Pure LOVE that any of us
can ever receive, with complete trust and honor...
this is the gift of the Love our Saviour, the One who gave His Life for us alone, the ones that He has chosen,
for His own reasons to give us all life ever-lasting and to share in all of His most precious Eternal/Holy/gifts...

To lay down ones life is to lay down, set down, everything in it for someone or something. To deny thyself, to deny the liars world. Such fleshly fools. I have been what you callndead and I have been brought back to life, it is not sacrafice. Death is a lie, life is true.. Rich man poor man. To lay down ones life means everything in it. Your home, your car, your family, everything in your life. God cannot die, so are you saying you can Love greater than God? Do not been such fools anymore . Jesus words.
A man cannot give life nor take life. You cannot give it to someone or take it from someone. Know what is meant by lay down your life.. It means everything in it and follow Jesus. I have been what liars call dead and God has put me back in the flesh and I live.. I know, God has shown me, do not be foolish and call this sacrafice. Do not serve the liar anymore. Jesus' words.
