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, they all 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.
