Love in Action
9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Romans 12:9-13 New International Version (NIV)
That’s what it is all about! God is love! “God so loved the world that He gave…” The commandments are summed up with “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.” Love, that’s what it is all about. Once you have truly experienced God’s love you can’t help but pass it on.
People all too often talk about love but they don’t live it. For many there seems to be something more important than God and what He says. We think of ourselves. We place a higher value on things, money, or prestige. The words above speak of sincerity, clinging to what is good, honor, spiritual fervor, serving the Lord in hope, patience, and faithful prayer. And then, share with the Lord’s people who are in need.
