Love is fulfillment of the law because you will have no idols, you will not covet, murder, steal, commit adultry, disobey parents, etc. You find rest and peace in our Savior, Jesus! Be the light in a dark world, it will shine brightly and you will stand out!
I’m often looking for messages on “loving one another” trying to grow and learn what that means/looks like practically...thankful for this video, as it’s one of the few I’ve found and probably the best of those few. Thank you 🙏🏻 Apologia and God bless!
I needed this wake up call. I’ve despised and angered over people at work and just my surroundings lately and that’s the luke warm Christian in me. I fear if I’m blunt or honest I’ll hurt their feelings or create more division than I already need. But if I address my issues and their issues with respect and love the message will get across with Jesus by my side. Praise Jesus!!!
There is a person that volunteers at our community center at times and this sermon and the verses that you pointed out also challenged me to love Him more than I do. He is really annoying, but I should love Him just as Christ loved me.
Such an important topic and this was very well done. This is something I struggle with...understanding, knowing, and genuinely having this love. I have to understand and know it’s a process, but so tough.
Do you love one another with works or without works? Is your faith with works or without works? If a brother or sister is naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, depart in peace, be warmed and filled; notwithstanding you give them not those things which are needful to the body, what does it profit? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being alone. [ James chapter 2 ] Do you profess that you know God with works or without works? [ Titus 1:16 ] Do you talk that talk with works or without works? Ask pastors and church members for financial assistance, and let's see how much they love you?
John, you are thinking like a lawyer. To love one another is, for example, to treat one another with dignity and respect, and to give a duty of care as a fellow human being. That is the FRUIT of love, of BEING love. Fruit of love, or being love, is not something you can command; love is a virtue, it isn't something you turn on or off in a person, by demanding it of them. A person is either love or they are not. L...oving behaviour from the heart can perhaps be solicited, but even then ONLY if love is already PRESENT IN THE HEART. And how would you know? You wouldn't Therefore, when Jesus said to his disciples "love one another" it could have been in one context only -- because they loved him. Jesus was saying in effect "If you love me (and I know that you do) then let its existence be known among you by how you are toward each other". Nope, you cannot command love. You cannot command anyone to love; whether your partner, your children, your neighbour, NOBODY.
@@brianhyde5900 Jesus did command it, though. You can say all the fancy words you want, but Jesus said the two COMMANDments were to love God and love neighbor.
@Argotha Yes, Jesus did. His disciples were still under the Law as Jews but they were not still under the Law for salvation---they were under Grace. Instructing heartfelt loyalty to God (as per the two Royal Laws) is not the same as claiming love can be commanded from the heart. Love from the heart can be invited, but it cannot be compelled, for love from the heart is freely given and is spontaneous. Does a parent command their child to love them? Of course, not. No rational minded parent would dream of such a thing. Nor does God. In any case. love from the heart of a child is earned. But then you legalists are not rational, are you? It's why you keep coming up with your absurd claims. No, nice try but the way you folk spin Jesus' words just doesn't work with me.

Pastor Jeff reminds me of the immoral person who says, I love you, so show you love me by doing something immoral. Leave Jesus Christ's church to show that you really really love Jesus.
Jeff you are good.....If only you were CATHOLIC, your teachings would have full truth. Your interpretation of the bible is different than every other protestant......you guys just cant get it together......you guys cause divisions everyday now.
Born agian refers to Baptism.........the Church of Christ had been baptizing for 1600 years before the first protestant church even thought of existing.....how much truth is in a church where the pastors within can't even agree on the same doctrines and go split off..... Jesus said one Faith, one church, one baptism, one Shepherd and he will be with us always.......only one real church is real, and comes from God.....Katholica meaning Universal as it was named by Ignatius of Antioch in 107AD. God bless you soul and guide you to truth......ignorant Catholic, future Protestant !!

Love isn't 50/50! True love is 100/0!
Love is fulfillment of the law because you will have no idols, you will not covet, murder, steal, commit adultry, disobey parents, etc. You find rest and peace in our Savior, Jesus!
Be the light in a dark world, it will shine brightly and you will stand out!

Good job Brother..... Amen you have spoken truth

Such an important topic and this was very well done. This is something I struggle with...understanding, knowing, and genuinely having this love. I have to understand and know it’s a process, but so tough.

Preach~
Well received

Do you love one another with works or without works?
Is your faith with works or without works?
If a brother or sister is naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, depart in peace, be warmed and filled; notwithstanding you give them not those things which are needful to the body, what does it profit?
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being alone. [ James chapter 2 ]
Do you profess that you know God with works or without works? [ Titus 1:16 ]
Do you talk that talk with works or without works?
Ask pastors and church members for financial assistance, and let's see how much they love you?
Amen

This comment was 3 years ago but like yes so true 😂😂
So what Jesus said love one another. I've never needed Jesus permission to do that.
Love one another is a command not a suggestion.
John, you are thinking like a lawyer. To love one another is, for example, to treat one another with dignity and respect, and to give a duty of care as a fellow human being. That is the FRUIT of love, of BEING love. Fruit of love, or being love, is not something you can command; love is a virtue, it isn't something you turn on or off in a person, by demanding it of them.

You wouldn't Therefore, when Jesus said to his disciples "love one another" it could have been in one context only -- because they loved him. Jesus was saying in effect "If you love me (and I know that you do) then let its existence be known among you by how you are toward each other".
Nope, you cannot command love. You cannot command anyone to love; whether your partner, your children, your neighbour, NOBODY.

But then you legalists are not rational, are you? It's why you keep coming up with your absurd claims. No, nice try but the way you folk spin Jesus' words just doesn't work with me.
