What Does Love Got to Do With It?

Every-thing.

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭21‬, ‭23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If all God’s created beings would just take Him at His word, like they take the word of man. Oh, what faith they would possess and live, and love with the love of Elohim.

The faith of Jesus is the faith we must have. But if we are not exercising the faith already given us of God, He will not increase it. If we do not desire or want to love God, He will not force us.

If we truly loved God, we would not sin. And there would be no sin for us to confess, no sin to repent of or forsake. Elohim is light and in Him is no darkness at all; He is righteous and in Him is no unrighteousness. If His mind be in us, if His Spirit is in us, we sin not; if His seed remain in us, we cannot sin. Let that sink in.

Michael will soon stand up and put on His royal garment, for He is King. He will cease making intercession for us. We will be judged by God according to our works. When Christ comes, our reward will be with Him.

God’s character is not known of His professed people, because they desire their own ways.

It is so sad, heartbreaking to hear of a soul killing themselves, let alone of one being killed/murdered. If all would just desire to know, love God—the love of God in the heart (mind), one would not could not choose to end the life God has given.

Oh, if we but understood the character of God! If we understood God’s Word, His Holy Word, we would know Him and love Him. We would repent and be converted. How? If we die daily, He lives in us. It’s Him in us through the Holy Spirit.

I know the hurt I experience when I hear of one killing him- or herself, or of someone being killed, murdered, of someone dying needlessly. If only they had submitted unto God, desired to know and love Him, a soul would never take the life of another nor their own.

The tears Christ shed. The blood Christ sweated. The agony. The pain and suffering Christ went through before and while on that cross, being separated from His holy Father: Sin did that! We put Christ on that cross. We crucify Him again every time we choose to hate Him through disobedience. We show that we do not love Him.

Sin separates us from God. God hates sin. God has no part with sin. If the sinner chooses to stay in sin, turn back, go back to sinful ways, God loves us enough to allow our choices. Period.

God loves us unconditionally. He gave His only begotten Son! Do we not get that? God loves all His created beings; but He hates sin. If we choose to sin, He lets us go our own chosen way. Period.

Yes God forgives us when we confess our sins. And He cleanses us from all unrighteousness. The only way we are unrighteous is if we keep turning back to sin.

We have to submit ourselves to God. We must humble ourselves before God. We must confess, repent, and be converted. Only the converted of God will be translated, for they have already been glorified of God. By faith, they died daily and took up their cross and followed Jesus. These have the love of God in them. These keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus.

We say we love God. The sad truth, the sad reality is that so many profess God. Yet, they do not know God. And they do not love God. Period.

So before you look away, before you roll those eyes, before you speak lies, before you tuck that sin away in your hiding place, before you gaslight another, before you verbally abuse another, before you speak falsely about another, before you gossip, before your tongue rise against God’s servants in judgment, before you buy that gun or pick it up—let alone use it—before you speak, before you drink that drink of spirits (beer, alcohol, etcetera), before you smoke that blunt, before you eat that abomination, before you think that adultery, before you curse—proving you are not converted—before you put on that outfit (shaming God), before you put on those ornaments or makeup, before you vape, before you give in to anger, before you give in to unforgiveness, before you think to speak one wicked word, before you look at those naked/half-naked pictures, before you put your hand to self-abuse, or fix your lips to profess that you love God; you best humble yourself before God, acknowledge your sins, confess them one by one to God, repent—forsaking all sin—and give yourself completely to God for Him to take and clean you up.

Ask God for a perfect hatred for sin that you would rather die than sin against Him.

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭21‬, ‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬
