We will see how much you love
God by: How much you love your
Family, Friends, and Neighbors. How

you love your enemies?
Live a life of love.
Walk in love.
Is the Love of God for today? It will be if there are people who have Him and will share
Him.
Ephesians
5:1 Be imitators of God,
therefore, as dearly loved children
2 and live a life of love,
just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and
sacrifice to God.
Ephesians
5:8 For you were once darkness,
but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit
of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find
out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of
darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what
the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes
visible, 14 for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is
said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on
you." 15 Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise,
16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18 Do not
get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the
Spirit. 19 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing
and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the
Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 21
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband
is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is
the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so
[let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love
your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or
wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife
loveth himself.
This
is what it would look like if the love of God were for today.
Shining people who are the
children of light driving out the darkness.
They are living examples of God
in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.
Wake up and Christ will shine on you.
We must be willing to shine the light.
This is the love of God, which is not willing that any should perish
but that all should come to repentance.
Wise people
living to make the most of every opportunity because they know the time is
short and the days are evil. They
are seeking to understand the will of the Lord and they are willing to live in
that light. See the contrast between the darkness and the light.
Happy people are
filled with the Spirit of the Lord and not the joy of alcohol.
They speak to one another in Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing
and make music in your heart to the Lord.
Thankful people
are those who always give thanks to the Lord for all things.
They understand that all these things are the will of the Lord for us.
They know that the Father knows best and they trust Him with their
lives. They give thanks in the
name of their Lord who Jesus Christ who leads them as children of light to
live a life of love in a world of darkness. As much as the darkness would try it can never stop the
light. The darkness will flee
when the light comes on.
Giving People would submit
themselves one to another in the fear of God.
Have
we submitted ourselves one to another? Do
we do so because we fear God? Do
we fear the Lord? Are we willing to give up what we want for the good of
someone else?
Wives
are submitted unto their own husbands and not anyone else’s.
Husbands would be the head and savior of the wife.
They would be sacrificing their loves for their wives.
Loving
People who
are like the husbands would love their wives as much as they love their own
bodies. Everyone loves their own
body so this is our guide as to how much we are to love our wives and others.
A
father and his small son strolled down the street in Chicago past the place
where a skyscraper was being constructed. Glancing up, they saw men at work on
a high story of the building. "Father," said the little boy,
"What are those little boys doing up there?"
"Those are not little boys, son.
They're grown men." "But
why do they look so small?" "Because
they're so high," his father answered.
After a pause the boy asked, "Then, Father, when they get to
heaven there won't be anything left of them, will there?"
It's so true. The nearer we come to Christ the less others see of us and
the more they see of Christ.
