“And hope maketh not
ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost
which is given unto us” Romans 5:5.
LIGHT FOR THE NOW: Divine love is not something to be prayed for; it is a feature of your recreated human spirit.
Christianity is all about the demonstration of divine love. 1
John 4:8 says, “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love”. God is
love personified. He demonstrated His love towards us in that He gave Christ to
die for us while we were yet sinners and of no use whatsoever to Him (Romans
5:8). Being born again, you are born of God. If God who is love gave birth to
you, then you are a child of love, and love personified. Divine love is not
something to be prayed for; it is a feature of your recreated human spirit.
Galatians 5:22 says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love…”
What is therefore expected of you as a born again child of God is to
demonstrate the love that is stored up in your heart, and be a blessing to your
world. Be an oasis of love in a troubled world.
Jesus said in John 14:15, “If ye love me; keep my
commandments”. An example of His commandment is the instruction to
preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). You will be demonstrating the
love of God to your world when you reach out to others with the gospel of
Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:14 says, “For the love of Christ constraineth us…”
We are propelled by His love to preach the Gospel, just as He was propelled by
love to take the place of sinful men on the cross. He was the expression and
communication of the love of God. Not only did He speak words of blessings to
the people, He also touched them and related with them in love. People from all
walks of life came to Jesus, to hear him and to be with Him, because in His
words, they heard and saw love. As a Christian or a minister of the Gospel,
this should be your desire. You have to manifest the love of Jesus to the
world. It is one of the things the Holy Ghost does in your life; to reveal God
to you. As you get to know God, His love dominates you. This is because the
more you love Him, the more like Him you become.
INSTRUCTION:You are a walking epistle. Make sure
your life sends the right message.
PRAYER:Lord, I thank you for loving me and
taking my place on the cross, in Jesus Name. Amen.
QUOTE:God is love.
