LOVE

In Galatians 5.22-23 refers to the fruit of the Holy Spirit, only 9. Paul says that it is the basic signs of spirituality, which indicate that a person is a Christian. Who is a member of the Church and does not have these fruits, the lists only on Earth, but not in the book of life. "The benefits will get to know them" (Matt 7.16).

In the first LOVE, and it begins to develop the rest. What is it?

Don't just smile, kissing, oil. Dictionary says :

This is the heart of the selfless devotion to something or someone. That there comes to us and comes from the us. Love is different, for example, to things.

Christian love is a sign of Discipleship (John 13). This is the best “advertising”, people will pay attention. And so, because in our time, true love is rare.

There are no schools where they teach love. However, this word is mentioned in the Bible about 400 times. The Holy Spirit wants Christians developed in this sense.

Jesus asked lawbringer, who knew the Scriptures, but with The (Matt 22.40), about which the great commandment in the law, said: "Love the God and neighbor". But this does not mean that the 10 commandments are not needed. They are the expression of love, and its adherence to the letter and not the spirit, is not accepted by God. Those who come are "wicked" legitimate dry.

John 4.24 - God to be worshipped in spirit and in truth. You cannot, for example, the dismantling of a personal thing, a member of the Church for which he had no love because there is no such law. However, God will ask us, the spirit in which we observe the commandment.

About true love we read the Apostle Paul in his first letter to Corinthans, chapter 13 :

Verse 1 - you can have a lot of knowledge and skills to be an excellent preacher, but without love is nothing. This can make and do an atheist, for example, record it on film, but it is not the spirit of God.

Verse 2 - can be of tremendous faith and know all prophecies, but without love it void.

Verse 3 - you can even give away everything you have, and even life, to show their dedication, but it is useless to someone who does not love, even if it uplifts others.

What is love? Mentioned in verse 4 and later :

The "patient" is not on the hour and patience is not for a month, and the length of life "kind" - has a sweet heart, radiant goodness that looks for the good deeds and the alleviation of the suffering of others

"not jealous, not humble, not proud" - is not contentment, looks down and lifts the nose

"not to commit excesses" is a modest and not abusing their position

"not looking for his" does not seek to benefit and awards

"not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not sin and have joy for truth, it covers all things, and endures all things" - without comment - parliamentarians

LOVE NEVER DIES, has no output.

Will calceled "knowledge" (in all eternity will be formed), "prophecy" (people again will communicate directly with God and the prophets are not necessary), and "languages" (everyone will speak the same language, so as not to be Babylon). And love will be in eternity. God speaks of this to people in a language they understand, rather than on such, which no one knows. Said about responsibility for every idle Word, rather than "blessed are those who know languages". And all languages are meaningless without love.

1 John 4.8 - GOD IS LOVE.

Everything is love: in creation, salvation and punishment (Hebrews 12).

So how and to whom to love?

Paul says : "That love should be without hypocrisy".

Avoid evil and do good. This is the love of God and neighbor. A neighbor - that's all folks. This can be seen from the parable of the Samaritan from the Gospel.

THE MIDDLE IS THE ONE WHO NEEDS OUR LOVE.

Love should not be a "barter". Unlike the old testament, in the new "love your enemy". Even the Old Testament should only hate those who crowded the patience, and not those who repented (Is 56).

When Christ was on the Cross and was crucified without guilt, he said, father, forgive them! He could curse and had the right to, but has not done so. The same is said when Stefan and kill him (such as Christ, became his disciples).

Nothing can prevent us from loving. Even the heavy testing of demons, especially not the usual problems and resentment. We need to be not only consumers, but also radiators of love. All, not just the priests of the Church.

"There is no greater love than to put the soul for his friends" (John 15).

The benefactor can someone and will die, as Christ died for us while we were still sinners, such as is (Rom 8). He never went to die, waiting for our patches or on certain conditions. Such were the "some of us" (of the believers) and still is.

Even if there are shortcomings in the Church, we should approach them with caution, as Christ. "The price of exhortation is love from a pure heart".

Denunciation: "If you feel that you could die for this brother's then go to him and make him" (E. White). Even if you do not have to die, it is necessary for us to correctly judge Christ.

Will check itself for the fruits of the spirit and a love that will last forever. That, and the other said: about us < our name > is love.
