LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

1 Corinthians 13:1?-?13 KJV

The Bible says in John 3:16 that God so loved the World that the gave His only begotten Son. He gave His son pure and sinless to die for our sins out of the love He has for you and I.

HOW CAN I LOVE

1. THROUGH GENUINE CONCERN

There is no how two or more people can be together that needs will not arise. Infact, one of my fathers in the Lord Daddy KK NDUKWE told UA that any relationship where money does not exchange hand is not a genuine relationship. Believe it or not, as long as there is a gathering, assistance in one way or the other must arise.

The Bible says speaking about the early church

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

Acts 4:32 KJV.

Note that the Bible says they had all things common not in common.

The bond was so much that when a husband and wife by the name of Ananais and Saphira tried to secretly get things for themselves they died by the hands of the Holy Spirit.

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

Acts 5:3?-?4 KJV

1 John 3:17 says

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

1 John 3:17 KJV

So we are not yet believers until we begin to have all things in common.

2. WE MUST LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY

According to the Dictionary, Unconditional love is known as affection without any limitations, or love without conditions.

In 1 Corinthians 13:7 the Bible says that LOVE

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

1 Corinthians 13:7 KJV

John 3:16 says

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16 KJV

Then in 1 John 4:20 the Bible says

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

1 John 4:20 KJV

One of the Hallmark of being Born Again is unconditional love.

3. WE MUST LOVE THE UNLOVEABLES

The unloveables are those who despite how much you try can never see anything good in you. Those who by all means and standard will want to pull you down, talk you down, and apply all manner of schemes and tricks to make you cry.

Jesus says to us in Mathew 5:43-48
