Love

in Quotes and Stories, Writing Life

God Created humans to know and love God and others
Matthew 22:37-39
Jesus replied: ‘love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your sould and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.

I do not act as the world thinks a Christian should because my salvation depends on my behavior. My salvation is a gift granted to me through the blood of Jesus Christ. I behave this way because the people around me will judge my heart by my actions. I am not trying to seek their approval. I am trying to point them towards Christ. I must evaluate my actions on the basis of Love. Does my life demonstrate love for the Lord? Does my life demonstrate love towards my neighbors.

Love: An attitude that places the other person as more valuable than yourself.

“If you can make a religion look absurd, then you have probably failed to understand that religion.”
~~Ravi Zacharias

It is impossible to prove to a person that their religion is wrong. That is the work of the Holy Spirit. My job is to present the truth found in the Word of God; my job is not to disprove your religion or prove Christianity.

Free Will

God gave humans free will. So what exactly does that mean? I used to think that free will meant that we have the choice of what to do and God knows what will happen if we choose either A or B. But I don’t think that anymore.
God put the [...]
