How to Love
LORD's Day Worship - Dec 22, 2019
Help us to Love
Assembly don't justify salvation
Heb 10:25 - Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
We represent the gospel of Jesus Christ
Assembly doesn't give salvation
Mark 7:8 - laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men
Col 2:8 - Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
We represent the love of the gospel of Jesus Christ
Col 1:16 - For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
1 Cor 2:1 - And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
I didn't have the honor of man in my testimony
...I didn't have man in my salvation
salvation is not the credentialing or ordaining of men
1 Cor 2:4 - And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
Acts 1:8 - But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
It takes power to love man
It takes power to love your brothers and sisters, and all races, and all nationalities, and all backgrounds
We are witnesses of Jesus Christ
Salvation is in Christ
We are witnesses of the gospel of Jesus Christ
Affiliations don't justify
...or sanction us as meet for the Master's use
We love everybody
We go as a testimony - as witnesses to the gospel of Jesus Christ
We don't have to get a man's consent to go and be a blessing
in the name of the Holy Ghost of Jesus Christ
Many have become entangled in affiliations
1 Thess 2:10 - Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameable we behaved ourselves among you that believe
Christians behave so that they may be a blessing to mankind
Christians behave in love
the world is divided by
...affiliations
...behavior
...economics
...race
...education
We are to be united in love - and a blessing to mankind
Its not where we go to church - but how we behave
Mat 25:14 - And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Salvation is Jesus in you - not you in your 'affiliation'
We are on a crusade to love everybody
Man does not justify himself
We are witnesses of the gospel to be a blessing to somebody’s soul
LOVE
Man divides by affiliations
We are to be witnesses for the gospel of Jesus Christ
Christ in us - where we can behave
The gospel message of a true witness is justified by their behavior
With Christ in us we will behave like Christ
John 17:23 - I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one...
Heb 13:1-2 - Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Christ in us
The gospel of Jesus Christ
Brotherly love…continues in the testimony of Jesus Christ
LOVE
Jesus told us to be a witness...not a judge
Matt 5:16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Heb 13:1 - Let brotherly love continue.
We love you!
We enjoy the Lord...by loving people
Go...and be a witness!
