In I John 2:8 John is writing again to remind us of the new commandment. This he said is true(for it comes from Him who is grace and truth-John 1:17) in you because of Him. This is His lightness(John 1:9-13) to us and thus to the world. The New commandment shines forth for the world to see. This is our Lord Jesus.
I know we say this and we know but yet we fail to do so at times. Why? We forget it is not our love but always and ever His.
This is my commandment
that ye love one another, as
I have loved you.
John 15:12
Ah so simple we forget yes. I thank Abba and my Lord Jesus for their mercy and grace to remind us so lovingly of Gods love. It is only by their love that I can love others. Especially those I deem unworthy or ugly(not physically but against my ideals).
Hate is easy and comes naturally to us all. Even with those we ‘love’. Why I praise(giving thanks) to my God for revelation that is ever growing of Jesus Christ. He is love and as He loves so do we. It does not matter our so called religion or churches or theological divisions. None of this matters and is of man anyway. Does God love them? Yes and amen. Or else all we believe and know of our Lord Jesus is a lie. John 3:16-17 is very explicit and most everyone knows this verse-saved and unsaved. Is this not a example of Gods Grace and mercy.(Psalm 118:29) amen
Always Jesus. He is the only way we can love. First of ourselves by Grace and to others next. The more you see His love for you than the more you may love others. This will also gives us the freedom of Grace talked about in Galatians 5:1 and Romans 8:1-2 among other verses. Again and ever our Lord of Grace-Jesus Christ. yes and amen
So resting in Him His commandment is easy to keep as we flow in Him letting His love roll out and over.
Tonight just let Him love you
body soul and spirit
know that God Himself, Father, Son and Holy Spirit
love you
Selah
