Who do you love?

Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs, Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7

This word is so loosely used in today's society. We say we love one another but none of the following characteristics/behaviors follows.  Do you show this kind of love to your family members and others?
True love is sacrificial. Jesus Christ gave up his life for us. He came on a mission to save us and He did so. He knew people will beat him, his disciples will deny/betray him but He still took the wrath of God for us.

 1 John 3:14-15 message
The way we know we've been transferred from death to life is that we love our brothers and sisters. Anyone who doesn't love is as good as dead. Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know very well that eternal life and murder don't go together.

So who do you love? I love Jesus Christ The brave man who took all my sins and died on the cross for them. The only way to show we love Christ is to love others. We have to be patient, kind, endure suffering from others, and keep no record of what so and so did to us. Speak the truth (word of a God) to others. God saved us to save others. We should not keep our knowledge of the truth to our self. If you are truly saved and love others like yourself, you will share the gospel with others. Do not keep it to yourself. To who much has been given, much will be demanded Luke 12:48.

The love of God is so deep. He loves us so much. He wants to show us this love if we let him. God will not force anything on you. Deut. 30:11-20 talks about life. He set before us life and prosperity, death and destruction but it seems a lot of people are picking death. If you truly want to live you have to love God. The way we show we love God is by walking in obedience to Him, and keep his commands, decrees and laws. Sin is what keeps God from you. You are not a child of God if you make a practice of sin (1 John 3:7-10). Knowing the right thing to do and not doing it is sin. Awake fellow believers stop being deceived and deceiving yourself. God is only near to the righteous. Are u righteous?  Repent and turn from your evil ways, talk to God(pray) and read your word. He will direct you.
