THAT THING WE CALL LOVE.

The Lord is
 teaching me real love. Well it goes against the flesh.
This is not love as the carnal mind knows it to be.It is the love that is inherent with the Lord himself.It is who he is,not just something he exhibits now and then.We ,when walking in the Spirit can exhibit love as well. But when in the flesh,that thing we call love,is not really love at all.(In this blog i am referring to the 4th chapter of the book of 1st John.)Many good things in this chapter. One big lessons it teaches us is,that Love is not just something God exhibits every now and then ,but it is who He is. It is inherent in Him.I have realized lately,that being Christ like is inherent in me.It is who i truly am. Yet i am also of the flesh.God is struggling with me to keep me walking in the Spirit.I love Him for doing this.Vs 8 of the 5th chapter(1st JN) says He that loveth not,knoweth not God.vs.10,Herein is love,not that we loved God,but that he loved us,and sent His son to be the propitiation for our sins.Propitiation?
What is that?....well....it is also called expiation,the act of appeasing a diety,thus incurring devine favor,or avoiding devine retribution.In verse 11 it says "beloved if God so loved us,we ought also to love one another.This lesson from the Lord is evident in the book of 1st John,chapter 4:verses 7 through 21. Much more can be said of this,but....i will Pray at this point.{MY PRAYER}HEAVENLY FATHER,DRAW ALL MEN TO YOU. Then place within their hearts the passion and desire to study your Word.Then to pray for one another.In Jesus name i ask these things,AMEN.
