Title: Practice of Love (1 Peter 04:8)
Content Today, in this society and at home, what we keep losing is love. Due to the loss of love, our community is becoming more and more desolate. For this reason, the practice of love by Christians is a very important role in this age.
Christian practice of love is evidence of faith. When we love each other, division and suffering will disappear. We must first know that we have the ability to love. Before we believed in Jesus, we did not have the power of love. However, when we repent of our sins and accept Jesus as our Savior, Jesus, who completed our salvation on the cross, gives us the power of love. Therefore, the saints should not say [I do not have the power to love]. We must clearly realize that we have received the power of love through Jesus and put it into practice.
Furthermore, we must be determined to put love into practice in our hearts. Decisions create habits. Love is also a habit. When Christians always decide to choose love, this decision becomes a habit and can be practiced naturally. Today, when people rise to a certain position, they assert their authority. Because of this, society becomes colder and bloodier. If parents treat their children with love, managers treat their employers, executives treat ordinary employees, and politicians treat the people with love, without asserting authority, this society will be a beautiful society. To do this, we must choose love and make it a habit.
In addition, we must rely on the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is with us as a Counselor to help us in our weakness. Therefore, every day we [Holy Spirit, work so that we can live by practicing love. Acknowledge, welcome, welcome, and depend on the Holy Spirit. Help me in my weakness]. When we rely on the Holy Spirit through prayer, we can overcome the limits of human will and live vigorously practicing love.
Love gives us joy. But hate oppresses and destroys us. When we live with this love, we can live with strength, courage, and hope no matter what trials we face. By the way, many are looking only for human love. Human love changes with understanding. But the love of the Lord is unchanging and eternal. There is no greater love than this. A person who possesses this love can always live a life of hope with the joy of life. Those who do not possess this love cannot live a life of joy no matter how much they live in a house like a whale's back.
Love is the greatest gift God has given us. Therefore, our family should be born again in Jesus Christ, receive and practice this gift, and live a worthy and hopeful life.
Prayer: Thank God for love. We want to live this world out of love. However, there were many times when I could not live like that and lived selfishly. Because of that, there were times when I caused great suffering to my neighbors. I repent this time. Please forgive me. Please always keep us so that we can practice love by relying on the Holy Spirit. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
