Love?

Biblical love is agape love. #26 – agapé (ἀγάπη) Agape love at its core is the unconditional acting out one’s moral preference with the focus never fixed upon the outcome… as is the case of fake ‘love’ being applied with an agenda. Biblical love is the divine love which God prefers. It never inflicts pain on someone else out of malice. Biblical love is the fulfilment of the Law… the Law of Christ. Romans 13:10 “Love does not do evil to its neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law.” - Berean Literal Bible Which Law? The Law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 “Bear one another's burdens and thus you will fulfill the law of Christ.” - Berean Literal Bible Pastor, ‘Christian’... How many times have you experienced actions of malice against you from out your circle of fellow ‘Christians’? How many times have you experienced a confidentially- shared problem of yours to another ‘Christian’ in your community and had it backfired on you with a vengeance… betrayal having caused you immense pain? How many times have you experienced sarcasm and condescendence from out your own ranks? Are these malicious ‘Christians’ scot-free? No. Their conscience is accusing them. They have no rest. Why do you think people do these things in the first place? Because they do not have the Spirit of Christ manifest within them. Where the lie is proclaimed, the Holy Spirit does not reveal Himself. ‘Christian’, your church is not built upon the Truth. Romans 1 :18 “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, suppressing the truth by unrighteousness,” - Berean Literal Bible Was Paul malicious? Yes. Acts 8 :3 “But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison.” - New International Version Did Paul proclaim the Truth of Christ when he did those atrocities? No, Paul was a Pharisee and did not acknowledge Jesus Christ as his Messiah. But see, God had a plan with Paul, who had to dearly suffer the consequences of his evil deeds… even though they were pre-ordained by God Himself. See what Paul says in this regard… 2 Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad..” - Berean Study Bible (Please note the erroneously-added “may” after the “that”) Paul, however much he was suffering in his lifetime, was convinced by God that he and his fellow believers will not taste the second death. Why? Because Paul and his fellow believers were revealed the Truth and they proclaimed the Truth. See “ all liars ” in Revelation 21:8 . Pauls’ whole ministry revolved around Christ’s UNLIMITED atonement on the cross. Ample proof of that. 1 Corinthians 11:32 “But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world .” - NASB 1995 The “condemned” here simply means “judged, worthy of punishment”, not everlasting condemnation as so many Bible versions state. Did Paul’s conscience accuse him? NO! 1 Corinthians 4:4 “My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.” - New International Version Paul was FREE, because he resorted under the Law of Christ and NOT under the Law of Moses anymore. Moses’ Law of sin was made obsolete. Paul COULD not commit sin anymore, even though he trespassed, simply because sin was no more, only ‘missing-the-marks’. Yes, of course He regretted these trespasses, but he immediately found solace in Christ who redeemed him ( Romans 7:15-24 ). Romans 7:25 “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.” - New International Version Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,” - New International Version Paul’s heart of hatred was changed by God into a heart with love after Paul was baptized into the Christ who saved ALL mankind . Ephesians 3:16-19 “ 16  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18  may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” - New International Version Pastor, ‘Christian’, are you WITHIN the true Jesus Christ? Do you see the division in your church? Do you draw the parallel between this division (with all its strife and unhappiness) and the lack of Christ’s Spirit of love, unity and peace? Wouldn’t it be a good idea to immediately start seeking for this Truth Paul and his fellow believers had… in order to take part in their inheritance on this earth already… instead of finding this Truth at the second death? May God’s Holy Spirit guide you to this Truth and fill you with His agapé love!
