Propagate And Project His Love
But God commendeth his love toward us, in
that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us
(Romans 5:8).
The Lord Jesus came to the world with the love
message; He loved us, and showed us how
to love others. As a child of God, not only are you an
offspring of love, because the Bible tells us that God is
love (1 John 4:8), you’re also an ambassador of Christ
in this world. You’re His representative, continuing
His life of love in this world (2 Corinthians 5:20). It’s
therefore your responsibility to propagate and project
the love of God in your world.
Romans 5:5 says, “…hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” God has
put His love in your heart, and He expects you to show
it forth by loving the people around you. That’s the only
way the world can see and appreciate the matchless
beauty of His love.
Your language must build and lift. Those who hurt
or destroy others with their words don’t know the love
of Christ. Speak highly and lovingly of others. You may
ask, “What if their character is really bad?” You’re not
to judge or condemn them. Be like the Lord Jesus
who said to the woman caught in the act of adultery,
“…Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more”
(John 8:11).
He not only defended her before her accusers, He
loved her in spite of her sins. He did the same for us,
and washed us from our sins in His own blood, giving
us His righteousness to live for Him.
Take every opportunity of your daily encounter
with people to express love to them. Be a blessing to
your world. Love others selflessly and unconditionally
as Christ has loved us. 1 John 3:16 says, “Hereby
perceive we the love of God, because he laid down
his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for
the brethren.”
Prayer
Precious Father, thank you for your great mercy, your gift
of righteousness and your unconditional love for me! Just
like you, I’m merciful, kind, loving and gracious to others.
Your love is a light that shines brightly from me to others,
giving them hope, and life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
