Friends,
It seems self-evident that we ought not to require a reason to love our brothers and sisters in Christ. But there are days, aren't there? Given that no man is perfect, it follows that no man loves perfectly ... and that every man will - at times - need to search for a reason to love his brother.
Here is your reason:
1 John 4:11
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.[NKJV]
Christ Jesus died for you and me before we acknowledged Him as Lord, Savior and Redeemer. He did so well before we had the opportunity to show Him our love through our obedience. We no longer need any proof of His love. It is there at Calvary.
As He has proven His love for you and me, let us demonstrate our love for each other. By dying to ourselves daily. By serving others ahead of ourselves. By loving the least of these.
Be encouraged, Jose
