Live A Life Of Godly Love

 It was love that caused God to send His only begotten Son into the world to be the propitiation for our sins so that we might be born of the Spirit and empowered to Live A Life Of Godly Love through Him. And it is this same divine love which is the preeminent fruit of the Spirit, and is displayed in the life of a spiritual man or woman.
 The love of God is patient and kind, as Paul pointed out in first Corinthians: "It is not jealous, boastful, arrogant, or self-seeking." Christlike love does not act unbecomingly or selfishly and isn't easily provoked. Love does not take into account wrongs that have been suffered, nor does it celebrate unrighteousness. Rather, it rejoices in the truth.
 Christians are commanded to love others as God loves us because we are His children, and that the one who loves God should love his brother and sister as well. However, he points out a serious truth that if a professing believer says, "I love God," but hates his brother or sister, he or she is a liar.
And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we long to walk in spirit and truth and to keep our old sin nature nailed to the Cross. We pray that in the power of Your Spirit, we would die to self and so live for Christ that we are able to say: "It is not we that live, but Christ that lives in us," so that we may obey Your command to love our brothers and sisters as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
