Its time to let the love of Christ shine in your life


In the book of John 13:15 "For I have given you an example, that you should do as I
have done to you.

John 13:34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another;
as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

Also we see in John 14:12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the
works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these
he will do, because I go to My Father.


In John 15:12 "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have
loved you.


Esphesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking
be put away from you, with all malice.
32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, just as God in Christ forgave you.
In Esphesians 5:1-2 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given
Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-
smelling aroma.


 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on
tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if
anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave
you, so you also must do.
 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of
perfection.


 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your
neighbor and hate your enemy.'
"But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse
you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who
spitefully use you and persecute you,
 "that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes
His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the
just and on the unjust.
 "For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?
Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
 "And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more
than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
48 "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in
heaven is perfect.


 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just
as He walked. Let the Love of Christ shine through you in everything you do.



Brothers let us love our wives as Christ also loved the Church.
If you have issue with your brother, make it right for tomorrow is promised to no man.
For if you want your Father in heaven to forgive you of your sins, should you not be wiling
and able to forgive those that have sinned against you?


Remember we have been forgiven much, for we deserved death, for that was cost of sin.
Yet Christ paid it and offer us total forgiveness and restoration.
