Topic : Walking In his Love.

Memory Verse : 1 John 2:6. not just by saying, “I am intimate with God,” but by walking in the footsteps of Jesus.

Bible Reading :The Passion Translation 1 John 2:3-5 TPT. Key Verse : v5.

Here’s how we can be sure that we’ve truly come to know God: if we keep his commands. If someone claims, “I have come to know God by experience,” yet doesn’t keep God’s commands, he is a phony and the truth finds no place in him. But the love of God will be perfected within the one who obeys God’s Word. We can be sure that we’ve truly come to live in intimacy with God,

God’s will is not just that we relate with him casually, but intimately. Many are looking for whatever they can grab from God’s presence and disappear, while God himself is looking for a way to engage them intimately, so that he can transform them to become the light, just like himself. It’s good to note that the platform on which God built his relationship with man is that of love. That is the reason we are commanded not to serve another besides him to avoid us provoking his jealousy. As his children that nature of God whiis love has to be found at work in us by the help of his Spirit given to us. “And we ourselves know and believe the love which God has for us.God is love, and those who live in love live in union with God and God lives in union with them. Love is made perfect in us in order that we may have courage on Judgement Day; and we will have it because our life in this world is the same as Christ’s. 1 John 4:16-17 GNB.

Because he first showered his love on us, he expects us to reciprocate by loving him back and obeying his commands with a heart of love. While he walked the surface of this earth during his earthly ministry, he demonstrated that love by reaching out to the helpless and hopeless at no cost. The commandment to keep here therefore is to walk in love, just like Christ himself did. We are to love other men freely and sacrificially too, just the way himself loved us to the point of dying for us to live. This means that we have to show genuine care for the brethren just like the early church. “There was no one in the group who was in need. Those who owned fields or houses would sell them, bring the money received from the sale, and hand it over to the apostles; and the money was distributed to each one according to his need.” Acts 4:34-35 GNB.

“Get rid of all bitterness, passion, and anger. No more shouting or insults, no more hateful feelings of any sort. Instead, be kind and tender-hearted to one another, and forgive one another, as God has forgiven you through Christ.” Ephesians 4:31-32 GNB. We need to understand here that forgiveness is a very important dimension in love. Anytime people relate with each other, we do offend each other sometimes because of our human nature. Where there is genuine love, men don’t find it cumbersome to forgive. We are to forgive others the way Jesus Christ forgave us out of a heart of love. Without forgiveness, the circle of love is incomplete. Unforgiveness in any relationship is a pointer to the fact that love is absent in a relationship.

Prayer : Lord Jesus, I thank you loving me and dying to save my soul. Help me by your Spirit to be like you. Give me a heart that loves you and my fellow men. Give me a heart that forgives like you. Thank you for helping me obey you always in Jesus mighty name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 23:23-24:27.
