2 John 1:6 AMPC And what this love consists in is this: that we live and walk in accordance with and guided by His commandments (His orders, ordinances, precepts, teaching). This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you continue to walk in love [guided by it and following it].

1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

We have already seen that to properly walk in love, we have to first understand The Love Of God, then understand The Love Of Christ. For it is from this that we can understand our place in love and continue in it. It is this same love that is going to flow from you.

John couldn’t have put it any better when he said,

“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. “

You will hear people say, “I love you, but I can’t die for you”. That’s because they don’t understand what Love is. In fact, that is evidence that they are talking about human love which is woefully inadequate and cannot sacrifice that much. With the love of God,  Jesus LAID DOWN his life for us, and He commands us to do same and follow His lead.

The opposite of LOVE is not hatred, but rather SELFISHNESS. And that is exactly what the natural man’s love is – it is self-seeking.

This God-kind of Love in your heart demands that you put other people’s life and interest ahead of yours – even to the point of death. That is Love. Can you do that? I know you might feel that that is hard, but YOU CAN if you allow God’s Love to flow from within your heart. Hallelujah! Your week has been blessed and anointed for exploits in Jesus name. Amen!
