John, trying to catch up. Good to be here, I was trampled all over on the other threads.
" Heb 12:3 For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you may not grow weary and lose heart.
Heb 12:4 You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;"
Victory in Jesus.
Is this hard to do or what? " Mat 5:44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you
Mat 5:45 in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."
" 2 Cor 5:14 For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died;" Not that I have so much love, but that He does.
"John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave....." agape,
Action
"1 Cor 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal."
Nothing but noise with no meaning.
"1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins."
"Luke 23:34 But Jesus was saying, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves."
He did, we must.
Sorry John, too long, later.
In Christ, David |
