Love One Another

We live in a world where there is a lot of hate but we also live in a world that is filled with those who love one another. πŸ’— When Jesus lived on this earth He loved all kinds of people. He loved tax collectors, poor people, thieves, prostitutes, children and those who followed Him.  πŸ’— He even loved those who were dangerous and difficult to get along with.  πŸ’—And guess what? His love is the same today as it was 2000 years ago.  
πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—
Did you know that the New Testament contains 54 “one another” Scripture verses that teach us how to love.  πŸ’— God calls us to love others, just as He loves us. How do we show love? We do this by forgiving, accepting and honoring others. πŸ’— When we are full of God’s love it gives us the ability to love others.  πŸ’—Let’s look at 3 of the 54 “one another” Scripture verses. πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—
Forgive one another - The ultimate example of forgiveness was displayed when Jesus hung on the Cross and cried out for those who were crucifying Him: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” We should forgive others even when they don't deserve it or ask for it. That demonstrates a love that keeps no record of wrongs.
πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—
Accept one another To truly love someone, you must avoid trying to change the person for your own desires or purposes. Accepting love is patient and kind, even when we don't see eye to eye.  This however doesn't mean that we are to neglect the holy standard of what the Bible says in living a life of holiness.
πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—
Honor one another Honor means to esteem someone as highly valuable. When we put others above ourselves, we are imitating the character Christ.
πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—
Loving others isn't always easy, but we can by loving like Jesus loves which means forgiving, accepting and honoring others even those we don’t agree with or even those who we find difficult to be around. Our ability to love others comes from God. 1 John 4:7 says, "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.” Remember, it’s so easy to love others when we are full of God’s love. Have a wonderful Sunday.πŸ’—πŸ’—
