TOPIC: LIVING AS A BELIEVER: Example In LOVE (4)
MEMORY VERSE:
1 Timothy 4:11.
“11. These things command and teach.”
BIBLE READING:
1 Timothy 4:12.
“12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, conversation, in CHARITY…”
Thinking Point:
The core attribute of a believer is Charity – LOVE, without love every other attributes can’t attract God.
Those ordained to do us good will remember us, locate us, and release those favour this week in Jesus name, Amen.
Let us read these verses together,
1 Corinthians 13:1-4
“1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.”
“2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.”
“3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.”
“4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,”
Without Christ in us this love cannot exist in human. These are the result of love that a believer should possess. Jesus our Lord summarised all the laws in to two when he said in, Mark 12:29-31,
“29. And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:”
“30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”
“31. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.”
Without love, then no proof as a believer. Until we show love that’s when the difference will be noticed. Love conquers all things according to the word of the Lord. Therefore, we believers should be an example by showing love even to our enemies. Love is the greatest of all virtue. Are we loving as God wants us to love? Can unbelievers experience our love?
