[caddisman]

This Morning The Father has put this word in my heart,LOVE.I find that true Love/Biblical Love is waining[if thats a word lol]Scripture says in the last days the hearts of men will wax cold and i believe this is the case today.I urge all my brothers and sisters in Christ to reread Corinthians Chapter 13,Luke chapter 6,Timothy chapter 6 and revisit are thoughts on the concept of Love as truly i believe we as The Body of Christ can be more effective by reexamining the true Biblical concept of Love.Hope this makes sence,as i just had my first cup of coffie.

John 21:15-17
all about love, Jesus asking Peter 'lovest thou me'
its a lovely passage, and Jesus was thinking ahead too, about after the cross, feeding His people with Truth.

love has to be central in the Bible, hasnt it just, its all centered around LOVE, Jesus died for our sins, but was because He loved the whole world that He did.

There is much spoke about love in the N.T. Corinthians, Timothy, Peter to mention but a few, it is of the utmost importance, we MUST put it on Colossians 3 v 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Love!

Loving Christ is eaaaaaasy! I find loving someone who has hurt me is almost impossible, but not for Jesus. How great He is for forgiving those who have spoken badly of him, who have sinned against him and denied him, and always He loves them! The greatest gift we can give back to God, and to our neighbors will always be LOVE

It makes perfect sense Karl. We all need to guard our hearts.

There are (biblically) 3 kinds of love. Below is just what I would call a "snapshot" definition of these:
Eros- erotic or physical attraction
Phileo- brotherly love
Agape- God's perfect unconditional love

It is this agape love that Christ imparts into our hearts that makes it possible for us to love the unlovely and those who wrong us.
Mat 5:44, Luk 6:27, Luk 6:35
This is also the love that we manifest toward the brethren, the love by which we can be recognized as followers of Christ:
Joh 13:34-35, Joh 15:12, Joh 15:17

God is love (Agape) 1Jn 4:8, and when we are born again He imparts this love nature in our inner or spirit man. When we walk in the Spirit it is quite natural for us to love even those who hate us.
My friends, let us walk in the Spirit, let us walk in love.

Agapy Love, oh how wonderous, oh how sacrifical it is.
John 15 v 13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Agapy Love, oh how wonderous, oh how sacrifical it is.
John 15 v 13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

And how true that verse is!
If everyone in the world were to start caring more
about their brother and sister, neighbor, friends, family,
and even the strangers in our community, the world could
be a better place. For if we are in need, there is someone there
to help the other take care of it. Just as the Samaritan helped the
beaten man on the road when no one else would.
Love is so important, but it's something the world has a lack
of. I pray that the world can come to accept more love and
less hate.
