Verse 19 in the portion or Scripture starts and ends with us.
Every single person in this world desires to be loved.
God just keeps reaching His hand of love to us, even when we reject it.
Romans 8:7
Without God we are an enemy of God.
- His love transformed our love.
We all have love but this love is God’s love, agape love.
Before His love comes into us we love this world and the things in it. Once His love comes inside of us we love those things that we use to hate that deal with the things of God.
The world loves the things of the world, and we as Christians should love the things that pertain to God.
God changes the nature of a saved person.
Our nature should be to love the things of God and to be around God’s house.
His love will draw us to want to see Him.
We will just want to follow after Him.
- His love transformed our labor of love.
We will love one another. We will want to work with one another.
It is about what He wants, not what we want.
We will be in unity one with another.
We cannot have God without unity.
If we love Him, we will be in unity one with another.
Sunday will become important to us to be around one another.
We will love our brethren.
- His love transformed our liberties.
We have completeness in Him.
His love gives u liberty. We can do whatever we want, we just do not desire to do anything against God and that is sin because we love Him.
We do not love sin, but He is trying to perfect us to be like Him.
We will one day stand before God and be judged by Him by what we have done with our lives.
- His love transformed the law in my life.
We now have a whole different governing pattern for our life.
Try the spirits, know them. They are not all the truth. The Holy Spirit is the right Spirit.
The Holy Spirit will teach us the difference between the Spirit and the other spirits.
If our Spirit does not hook up with their spirit, there is something wrong with their spirit.
There is always a fight with the spirit of the devil disguising himself to be like God and the Spirit of God.
He deserves our attention and our love.
