I said it once i will say it again, if we had true love, we would not need gods commands, they wouod be fulfilled in our hearts and we could focus on more important things like serving our brothers and sisters, and serving the lost.
I just believe we should let the Word which became Flesh define "Love" for us..
2 John. 1:
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children
walking in truth,
as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee,
but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 And this is love,
that we walk after
his (Word which became Flesh) commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning,
ye should walk in it.
Jer. 6:
16 Thus saith the LORD(Word which became Flesh), Stand ye in the ways, and see,
and ask for the old paths,
where is the good way,
and walk therein,
and ye shall find rest for your souls.
But they said,
We will not walk therein.
Matt. 11:
28 Come unto me, all
ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I (word which became Flesh) will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Eph. 2:
8 For by grace are ye saved
through faith;
and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God: (His Love, not ours)
9 Not of (mans) works, lest
any man should boast.
10 For we are
his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
I would say people who won't accept God's Love, but replace it with their own, are lost. Before we can tell others about His Love, we should know what
HE teaches it is and the DO as
HE INSTRUCTS "
Walk therein"
Just because "They" refuse to Walk therein, doesn't mean "we" should refuse to "Walk therein".
like I said before, I am not the one that moved from South Africa. I stay here trying to make a difference.
