THIS IS LOVE

2 John 1:6

This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

Personal Challenge

Do you proclaim to be a Christian? Then are fruit of your life showing that? What does that fruit look like? Love! As followers of Christ we are given two commands that we must adhere to. They are to love God and love our neighbor. Our love for God can only be demonstrated by how we love our neighbor. Then many will ask the age old question, “Who is my neighbor?”. According to Jesus, your neighbor is everybody. It is easy to love our family, our friends, those who love us and are kind to us. How about those whom you disagree with? Those who believe and do things that you abbor? Those who you perceive as your enemies? If you are choosing to not love, and most importantly show them that love, then stop besmirching the name of Jesus and calling yourself a Christian. If we desire to bring this world to Christ then this is the only way that we can live. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner, and forgive me for not truly loving my neighbors as you have loved me.
