Loving one another

Mat 22:35 And one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, testing him, and saying,
Mat 22:36 Master, which is the chief rule in the law?
Mat 22:37 And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
Mat 22:38 This is the first and greatest rule.
Mat 22:39 And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.
Mat 22:40 On these two rules all the law and the prophets are based.

The above scriptures is the Old Testament way of loving, not the New Testament way of loving. It is the Law (the Ten Commandmends grouped together)

The first 5 Commandmends is about us loving God (Mat 22:37 And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.)

The second 5 Commandmends is about us loving our neighbour as ourself (Mat 22:39 And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.)'

Love is the foundation for the Kingdom of God because God is Love.

So what is the New Testament way of loving then? It is a new commandmend given to us by the Lord, to love one another as He loves us.

Do people know you are a dissiple for Jesus? How will they know? By our love towards one another.

John 13:34 I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.
Joh 13:35 By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

Joh 15:12 This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.

If we love the Lord we will keep His commandment to love one another. We don't have to do it in our own strength, He is using His strenght and love to work through us, we must just be willing. God is fully capable of loving through you if you stand aside and let Him get to work. God wants to take over your live. All or nothing, not just some piece of you.

If God is in you, you must love, you have no choice. And to love completely, you must forgive.
If you have unforgiveness towards others, you don't love God. Without God you can do nothing, only He can help you to forgive and love.

God = Love (they are one)

John 17 - Jesus prayed for you
- He has compassion for you
- He wept for you

Are you willing for Him to work through you so you can pray for others, have compassion for others and weep with/for others?

Allow the love of God to flow through you and rest in His provision for you. And remember: there is only one way that you can claim to know God - when you do what He has commanded: LOVE ONE ANOTHER!
