FAITH WORKS THROUGH LOVE
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything but faith working through love.
Galatians 5:6
Many want to walk in the gifts of the Spirit but faith works
through love. The greatest secret to walking in the gifts of the Spirit is walking
in love, loving God and loving people. Your faith will work when you love God
and people.
Love is the foundation and it is at the core of our
Christian faith. It is the first and greatest commandment. It is all about
love. Walking in love is what Christianity is all about, your love for God and
people.
Jesus said to him, “’You shall love the LORD your God with
all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first
and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor
as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 22:37-40
When you love God, you spend time with God and when you love
people, you spend time with people. When you love, God you give to God and when
you love people, you give to people.
Love manifests itself in giving. You can give your time,
resources, help, etc. you always have something you can give whether big or
small. When God loved he gave as an indication of His love.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
Faith, hope and love work together. Faith is for now, hope
is for the future and love is for always, all three of them work together to
produce the results that we want in life. When you have all three, you will
live a productive Christian life.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the
greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13
Thought of the day: Faith works through love.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me faith and
thank You that the love of God is shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit,
in Jesus’ name. Amen.
