The Love of God |
Love from the New Testament viewpoint
The first fruit of the HOly Spirit in the life of a saved sinner is love (Galatians 5:22). The order of this love in it's direction and application is:
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that
which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Romans 12:9
Also, on the negative side - the side the popes, modernists, liberals
and humanists
NEVER talk about, the believer is to abhor
that which is evil:
Avoid all entanglements with the world system. (II
Timothy 2:4)
Reject the companionship of unsaved people, including their fellowships.
Hate lying and falsehood!
Hate "self" and unrighteousness!
Reject and oppose any movement of the nations to 'get together"!
(Gen. 11; Zeph. 3; Deut. 32)
Rebuke the deeds and lifestyles of unsaved sinners.
Make no treaties, pacts, agreements or covenants with any ungodly
people or nations.
God said He hated six things, and two of them were PEOPLE (Prov 6:16-19). No man can be a good lover of God unless he is a good hater of some things.
The purpose of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was to force anyone who believes the Book to have fellowship and be yoked up with people who hate the Book (Bibliomalia) and/or fear the Book (Bibliophobia). This way, the Book could be silenced.
All you had to do was make it a felony (called a 'hate crime') if anyone believed what the Book SAID about blacks, queers, bossy women, women preachers, ecumenical movements & activities, the disciplining of your own children, education of your own children, clean speech, abortion, segregation and the United Nations.
So called "Racial slurs", "ethnic slurs" and "sexual slurs" are to be interpreted NOT in the light of the Scriptures, but in the light of CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, NPR, the Associated Press, Time and Newsweek and USA Today. (They sure did put a damper on a lot of good jokes nowadays!)
The News Media's task is to make "hate" a federal offense; a "felony" to be handled by the SWAT teams, the BATF and FBI.
These are the people who talk about 'love' and everybody loving and "accepting" everybody when in reality, they are licensed killers. (Waco; Ruby Ridge, Idaho)
Problem: For our God is a consuming
fire. Hebrews 12:29
Problem: The LORD your God is a jealous
God. Ex:20:5; Ex:34:14; Deut:4:24;
Deut:5:9; Deut:6:15; Josh:24:19;
Problem: I am jealous over you with Godly
jealousy. (II Corinthians 11:2)
Problem: Then the anger of the LORD and
His jealousy shall smoke against that man...and the LORD shall blot out
his name from under heaven (Deuteronomy
29:20,21).
Problem: They
provoked Him to anger...for a fire is kindled in my anger and shall burn
into the lowest Hell. (Deuteronomy 32:22)
Problem: In
flaming fire taking vengeance upon them that know not God and that obey
not the Gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8).
Problem: He
will burn up the chaff with fire unquenchable (Matthew
3:12).
Problem: Shall
be in danger of Hell fire... (Matthew
5:22)
Problem: They
shall cast them into a furnace of fire. (Matthew
13:42)
Jesus Christ speaks about Hell 15 times himself - could be why the new modern bibles take the word 'hell' out of their perversions, amen?
Those problems 'in the scriptures' cause folks to reject the scriptures
instead of just simply learning the truth about God's love!
Note the order - God first! - Then Neighbour as thyself! so thyself (including all in above list) comes before your neighbour.
If you love 'yourself' enough to feed yourself the word of God (Luke 4:4), then you will automatically try to feed your neighbour the word of God. If you don't care enough about yourself to feed yourself the word of God, then you won't care about your neighbor's spiritual life, either.
Makes sense, eh?
Romans 16:17 -
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences
contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
II Corinthians 6:14-17
- Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship
hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light
with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath
he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of
God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said,
I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they
shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
Ephesians 5:11
- And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
reprove them.
Colossians 2:18 -
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping
of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed
up by his fleshly mind,
II Thessalonians 3:14,15 -
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle,
note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet
count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
To the Christ-rejecting liberal and to many Christian 'liberals' out there, loving your neighbours means 'loving those who HATE the Lord and those that HATE the Bible".
By confining themselves to the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) and rejecting what God revealed to Paul (Acts 26:16; Galatians 1:6-12), God is Love becomes just one more perverted Biblical quotation to back up a pagan philosophy which states: "go along and support everything, and cooperate with everybody or else get killed - (or at least fired, black-listed, excluded, 'churched' or imprisoned).
Modern Twentieth century Christianity knows nothing about God or love!
How DO you give God's Love to your friends & family?
You give them BIBLE! THAT IS GOD's LOVE!
