Love and Love Not 1
John 15:17-19
15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hate you.
Christ commanded us to love one another (all both those worldly and not) but we should not love the World.
Loving the worldly but not the world is a kingdom strategy of winning the worldly. Remember, Christ love won us from darkness and this love should be shown on the worldly so as to win them as Christ won us.
The ministry of reconciliation can't be completely and perfectly executed without love.
Brethren, are you deficient in love? Do you love only your co-Christians? Jesus didn't love only the save. He loved also the unsaved and came basically for them. Have a rethink in your love display. 2 Cor 5:18, Luke 5:31-32.
But beware as you love the worldly not to sin! Shalom!!!
