Show some love

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

Topic: Show Some love.

Romans 12:9-16

Love Must Display Tender Affection.

“Love one another with brotherly affection” (v. 10a).

Paul uses two words that speak of the love of family members for each other. One of them is a word you already know–philadelphia. It comes from two Greek words that have been joined together:philos, which means tender affection, fondness, devotion,” and adelphos, usually translated “brother,” but it literally means “one born of the same womb.” So the word philadelphia literally means “tender affection owed to those born from the same womb.”

It’s easy to understand why the early Christians adopted this word to describe Christian love. All Christians have been “born of the same womb” through the new birth. Everyone who is saved is saved the same way.

God doesn’t have three different plans of salvation–Plan A for Protestants, Plan B for Catholics, and Plan C for everyone else.

Jesus said, “You must be born again” (John 3:3). To be born again means to receive new life through personal faith in Jesus Christ. It means to be “born from God’s womb.”

Everyone who belongs to Jesus belongs to me. And I owe all of them tender affection and brotherly love.
Let us be clear about this. We are to love all true believers everywhere all the time. That’s hard because most of us have some inner qualifications.

We don’t like this group or that denomination. Maybe we’re not comfortable with people who speak in tongues or with those who use a Prayer Book. We may even distrust people who have a different worship style that we do. Maybe we have some preferences regarding skin color or ethnic background. Put simply, all such thinking is simply wrong and must be abandoned.

God’s kingdom is not limited to graduates of one seminary or members of one denomination or to people who look, think and act just like us. God’s kingdom embraces all true believers no matter who they are or what church they happen to attend.
Let show Christ love to everyone born of God and everyone around us. Don't forget "for God so love the world"

1 John 4:7-8 KJV
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. [8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

LET US PRAY
EVERY SPIRIT OF HATRED IN OUR LIFE IS CAST OUT IN JESUS. MAY GOD'S LOVE REIGN IN OUR LIFE IN JESUS NAME. AMEN
