Love and hate are actions. Almost everyone loves their pet/parents/kids/friends. Almost everyone hates themselves when they compromise their own morals, or knowingly disobey God. We are commanded to act.
@@Bigghewi The opposite of love is fear. Hate is against freedom. But don't worry, fear not: 7. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 9. Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10. But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: (2 Timothy, 1) Peace. GOD bless you.
Love is action not feelings. But actions are driven by true nature of the heart. True nature of the heart is not the temporary feelings but the permanent desire of the heart. You may temporarily be angry at your child but your true desire for him is his own good.
Love is a virtue. It is a compulsion; thus it is spontaneous. It is from the heart. A virtue cannot be commanded, A compulsion and spontaneity is not commanded. Love from the heart cannot be commanded. Enjoined, yes, commanded, no. A principled decision (it can never fully be divorced from emotion because we are not robots) is as a RESULT of the compulsion of love. Love is always a compulsion, otherwise it is purely an ethic. My experience is that we do not love because love is commanded by a god that we cannot see or hear, we love because its our nature to love, when we're free to love.
Clean and simple as always. 1 Corinthians 13 is the best definition of love I ever heard. So wise, deep and beautiful... Thanks for your time brother. GOD bless you, I pray He open your heart to His Word and guide your teachings.
I understand much better now loving those who hate you without emotions thank you Lord Jesus. Its impossible loving your enemies with emotions without the hurts pains and especially being fake you know
Wonderful video. I like to offer another scriptural reference: "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. " (1 John 3:18)
Wow thanks a lot man lately I actually became a true Christian with passion for God and had experience the Holy Spirit and everything and knew God loved me but didn’t know if I felt Gods love or not and more importantly didn’t know if I loved God or if I just loved the things he did, I was so convinced love was a natural emotion and then God happen to make me stumble across 1st Corinthians 13 about how without love for God we are absolutely nothing and loving God is the most important thing. I was scared because I’ve actually been going through so many things lately with God and it’s all just so confusing why he would pick me for the things he’ll do and I needed to know what love really meant for God. Thank, you don’t know how much this helped me; I’m gonna go read the commandments now too😏
If the true goal is to be Christ like, then love is the personal, sacrificial giving, for the good of another, regardless of personal cost. That is what it is to love like Jesus loves.
Yes which means the bible is lying about yahweh being jealous Because yahweh said there is no elohim beside him don’t pray to elohim and if there were then elohim is a jealous god
When the Israelites were being murdered by the Roman Empire, Portugal Spain because they would not convert to Catholicism, I’m sure they loved Yah which is why they chose death over religion. Now I agree that loving some one is an act not a feeling. If my enemy is thirsty I will give him water. But I will not let him into my house.
Beautiful message if your enemy is hungry feed him and if he is thirsty give him something to drink by doing so u are heeping burning coals on his head Romans 12last verse. One thing that made my evening u will not let him into your house hahaha hahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
You are blessed in teaching Lex, I praise Yeshua for leading me to your channel. Please keep this online ministry going, and I pray that God will bless you and continue pouring his Holy Spirit out on you to keep sowing the word of truth to those who like me are half a world away
Yes! Yes! Yes! totally agree!!! Thank you for that up lifting word Yahuah, and Lex for explaining it clearly.. I will pray very hard for that important cammandment, even though they're all important..
Sometimes the best way to love someone, especially an enemy, is just leave them alone. To say God is the source of love is more meaningful than he is love.
Thank you so much for clarifying about how we need to love through actions and not emotions, cause emotions change and so will your love if you base it on emotions .. well said 👏
A little better and a little clearer compared to other videos on what love is.. others simply keep repeating love but live is subject to the listener’s interpretation - which makes it vague when thinking about it..this video is a little clearer
Lex, thank you for this video. You often have great information to share but this one was truly needed and Ruach inspired. Thanks again for your labors.
Another great video that helps others to discern the words of the scriptures! To read the words is one thing, but to understand its meaning is something very different. 🙏
During my parents divorce, my sister quoted that love does not demand it's own way to Dad when one of my sisters had an eating disorder and he demanded her to eat enough calories like the doctors ordered
To love someone is to give them what they need. God needs out faith in Him (without faith it is impossible to please God) and we also show Him love by our obedience which is better than sacrifice. Someone down on his 'luck' might need twenty bucks and to give it would be loving. Some slacker might ask for twenty bucks but giving him a recommendation and encouragement as to where he might find employment is a way to show your love and concern.
1 Samuel 15:2-3 "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling." This is one of your God's ways He wants His people to love their neighbouring tribes!!!!
Rains on the just and unjust. Suns rises on the evil and good, think God put this in there because it helps show that we aren't any better than our enemies
I am blessed by the way you teach the word it is very on many of topics you have explained them. Are you an Adventist?because you are teaching exactly the way they teach. Keep the good work.
Love never causes you pain - and this is one of the most important things for you to remember as you go through your journey of Loving and learning how to Love, and be Loved. Love does not cause pain, Love does not cause suffering - it is only the distortions in the mind of a person that causes pain and suffering. So make sure that you are not laying the suffering story on Love - telling yourself that you have to sacrifice and suffer for Love. You do not have to do that. Sacrifice and suffering are the illusions that have been added Love by Satan and they are lies - they are not necessary - you can Love and not lose one ounce of freedom, one ounce of your own unique creative style. So go out into the world and Love yourselves… your friends. Love your families. Love your lovers. Love everybody who is driving you crazy with bad behavior, because they are lacking Love and the only way to heal them is to send them Love.
If we Love our enemy, how would they or could they still be an enemy. Isn't it odd that the word enemy sounds like end of me and in that my end in me. Love n Blessings Family!!!
thank you sir for this powerful message thank you for you this message will help my wife and I 2 help us and our relationship and also for other people 2
I think to limit love with 'love is a verb,' 'something we do,' and to say love is 'not an emotion' is missing something and makes God less than He is. God is not just a standard-setting, obedience-demanding automaton. Scripture reveals He has emotions, and He has strong feelings for His creatures. True enough that without obedience we cannot honestly say we truly love Him. But notice in Eph. 5:28-29: "In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and CHERISHES it, just as Christ does the church." The Greek word translated 'cherish' here is used in one other place in the Bible, 1 Thess. 2:7, where it speaks of a nursing mother 'cherishing' her own children. It seems most appropriate that this involves tender emotion and not just unfeeling nurturing, especially, in the case of Eph. 5, where 'nourishing' is mentioned as a separate term. Will-power and heart-condition need not, shouldn't be, and Biblically aren't mutually exclusive entities, although acts of will may precede feelings. In fact, conscious 'fake-it-until-you-make-it' has been validated by psychological research in person-to-person relationships, with loving feelings being created or enhanced.
There is a difference between 'love' and 'charity'. The love you have for family is different from the love you have for those of your community or country. When you give a homeless person a dollar or blanket etc. that is charity. Or what one might call brotherly love. Charity, by it's very definition isn't done by the emotional rudders of life. If you try it, you do things that make you feel good about yourself, yet don't truly help anyone. It's why we don't advise people to give hundred dollar bills to those on the streets. It's more suitable for them to have something that will make their lives easier than just giving them money that will be spent on any particular vice around. If you try to take the emotions out of a family situation, you run into another big problem. No emotional ties to the family, then no learning on how to build those emotional ties. Yes, some claim to have 'fallen out of love' with their significant others. What they've fallen out of is lust, not love. Love is the emotion plus the commitment to see the race through. A good marriage has the emotions, the knowledge, and actions, the commitment to hold the family together when things get rough. They serve the family with heart, mind and soul. Not so the rest of the world. If all are special, then no one is special.
@@zabahlatshwayo5786 Do you offer the same love to your neighbor as you would your spouse? Or do you love your nieces and nephews like you do your own children? There's a difference in locality, closeness, and whether you have any knowledge of a person or not. You love people yes, but the love for those you don't know personally is called 'charity,' not the emotional, physical, commitment you show your immediate family.
A lot of people are gaining financial rewards from UA-cam, and having commercials within your videos is the means to those gains, that's exactly what the author of this video has done. Name me a preacher / church that doesn't ask for money and I'll convert to your religion :-) If's funny you guys believe your God can provide everything and can quote bible passages to support the claim, and yet He can't give you some money to run His ministry. Open your eyes, my friend.
Love Defined Paul wrote, “...because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy [Spirit] which is given unto us” (Rom. 5:5). Now what is the Bible definition of love? John wrote, “For this is the love of God [here comes the definition], that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous” (I John 5:3). Yet, so many who claim to have love believe that the commandments ARE grievous. God says they are not. He calls His Law “holy, just, good and spiritual” (Rom. 7:12, 14). Paul explains that the commandments and the law are the same: “Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law” (Rom. 13:10). The Bible plainly defines love as “the fulfilling of the law.” Keeping the commandments is fulfilling the law-and this “works no ill to his neighbor.” If you have Agape love above first by obedience then Philia will be present which is natural human affection between family members or friends.
Great job Lex! Thanks. I know this is a whole other series of lessons and the basis for the divorcing ourselves from religion to follow the Word of Yah to its fullest. So... many Christians will fall to the lie that they're okay because the "follow" THE 10 Commandments. What's the best approach we then can take to unlearn that lie... to lead someone in the understanding that wherever it says "My commandments" it speaks of all the Law?
It almost sounds like that if we make a mistake that are sins will NOT be for Forgiven if we are supposed to walk like Christ then we have to be PERFECT just like him BUT that is impossible because we are not like God we are Human we make mistakes but that does not mean that we cant do the best we can to stay away from SIN.
@Hermoine Snape, consider the words of Paul on this matter: "Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." - Romans 12:17-21
Otherwise, pray for them. Over and over again. It may take weeks, months, years. But be blessed in knowing that you are getting a spiritual workout by not reacting to them, by being kind to them, by praying for them. You are improving your spiritual vision, and with the help of your prayers, perhaps they can start to develop spiritual vision... otherwise they may go blind.
@@natashamudford4011 This passage might not explicitly deals with those who 'hate God', but demonstrates clearly how your God wishes undesirable people to be treated: Deuteronomy 13:12-16 You shall surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword, destroying it utterly, all who are in it and its cattle, with the edge of the sword. You shall gather all its spoil into the midst of its open square, and burn the city and all its spoil with fire, as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God; it shall be a heap for ever, it shall not be built again.
Yes it's true that you should love your enemies but there are some enemies that well kill you any ways they feel that Love is a weakness so they take advantage of the love and kill you because of it.
LOVE 1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. HE IS JUDGED BY THE LIVING WORD OF GOD. The FIRST LOVE GOD is SPIRIT, and it is WRITTEN that they receive not the LOVE of the TRUTH. GOD is LOVE. GOD said my words are SPIRIT, so we who are spiritual should walk in the spirit. GOD the FATHER said through JESUS CHRIST, that no man comes to the son unless the Father draws him, and no man comes to the Father but through the son. Jesus Christ is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE and the DOOR to the KINGDOM of GOD through the HOLY GHOST. If we RECEIVE the TRUTH, then we receive the TRUE LOVE. If we RECEIVE the TRUE LOVE then we RECEIVE GOD the FATHER through the SON. Receiving the son then means we WALK in the SPIRIT and not the FLESH. TRUE LOVE is the WORD of GOD and the WORD of GOD is TRUTH. Summit your MIND and HEART and SOUL to the TRUTH always and you will begin to see your EMOTIONS follow that which is TRUE LOVE. FEAR GOD more than ANYTHING else because everything else is VAIN if GOD is not your FIRST LOVE. FEARING THE LORD AND NOT ANY MANS OPINION WILL SURLY HELP US TO RECIEVE WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING AS IT IS WRITTEN. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. TO FINISH UP WITH, Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. WHICH WILL TAKE US TO, Deuteronomy 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. = IN OTHER WORDS "HE HUMBLED YOU, AND CAUSED YOU TO SUFFER[CHASTISED] IN THE SPIRITUAL WILDERNESS, TO HUNGER FOR UNDERSTANDING AND WISDOM OF BEING IN SUCH A PLACE IN YOUR LIFE. HE FED YOU WITH MANNA WHICH IS THE SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING OF HOLINESS, IN WHICH YOU DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT. NEITHER DID YOUR FATHERS KNOW OF THIS SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING. FOR IF THEY DID KNOW THEN YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN. HE DID THIS IN HOPE THAT YOU MIGHT UNDERSTAND THAT MAN DOES NOT LIVE BY THIS WORLD ALONE, OR THE FLESH ALONE OR BY ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD ALONE BUT BY EVERY HOLY SPIRITUAL WORD THAT CAME FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD WHICH IS SPIRITUAL BREAD FROM HEAVEN WHICH IS KNOWN AS MANNA. TO THE PARENTS: SO IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN (THEN) WHEN YOU(child) WERE YOUNGER I WOULD HAVE SHARED IT TO YOU, AS IT WAS GIVEN TO ME, GIVING YOU BREAD THAT GOD GAVE ME, SHARING WITH LOVE AS I AM LOVED BY HIM WHO IS IN HEAVEN. RAISE A CHILD IN THE WAYS OF THE LORD AND THEY WILL BE BLESSED.
@@unlearnthelies ok. Thank you so much. Be in touch soon. No I'm not a shill I'm God believing and a believer of Jesus Christ and love the one who sent him. Thanks for the response.
Sorry if that happened to you. We can love those who wronged us through a process of drawing near to God's mercy for us. Think about this & meditate on it a bit.... The mercy you need to get through these legitimate but limiting emotions. Doing so helped my heart overcome the hurt & anger. Christ loved us first even though we didn't deserve it because we broke trust with Him by cheating on Him by being selfish and choosing sin. Trust and ask Yeshua and the Spirit to help you love those who despicably used you & the answer of strength from the Holy Spirit will come even as the pain to come to a place in your heart to say this kind of prayer is difficult to bear.. God understands it is a struggle to overcome your hurt flesh. It is tribulation like this that give opportunity for Spiritual maturity to happen if you prayerfully trust & you will be blessed with peace and wisdom and gentleness towards yourself as you forgive the debt owed you by those that hurt you and are released. You will be healed by the Father as He pours greater forgiveness & power into your life. Be blessed & healed!🖐
Hedrawsthe bow and let's the arrow loose the arrow flus toward the target but misses the mark. Works and obedience are fruits of love, but are not love itself.
Christ as my witness I have prayed for a while to know what love is , but between you, me , and Jesus. It does rend my heart a little, but in a good way, and I just wanted to sorry to you both. I could be doing a lot better, its just one of those thing you have to see first hand i guess.
How did Jesus loved his enemies ? Jesus rebuked & told them the TRUTH. LOVE ❤️ means being honest & truthful to all just as we desire it for ourselves. Jesus didn’t go around hugging people but his style of love is giving them message of Salvation from town to town & didn’t waste time on those people who continue to not believe and resist him. We should imitate Christ’s style just as Apostle Paul said…

Just thought you should know.
A lot of people are gaining financial rewards from UA-cam, and having commercials within your videos is the means to those gains, that's exactly what the author of this video has done. Name me a preacher / church that doesn't ask for money and I'll convert to your religion :-) If's funny you guys believe your God can provide everything and can quote bible passages to support the claim, and yet He can't give you some money to run His ministry. Open your eyes, my friend.
Love Defined
Paul wrote, “...because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy [Spirit] which is given unto us” (Rom. 5:5).
Now what is the Bible definition of love?
John wrote, “For this is the love of God [here comes the definition], that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous” (I John 5:3). Yet, so many who claim to have love believe that the commandments ARE grievous. God says they are not. He calls His Law “holy, just, good and spiritual” (Rom. 7:12, 14).
Paul explains that the commandments and the law are the same: “Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law” (Rom. 13:10). The Bible plainly defines love as “the fulfilling of the law.” Keeping the commandments is fulfilling the law-and this “works no ill to his neighbor.” If you have Agape love above first by obedience then Philia will be present which is natural human affection between family members or friends.
It is true that love is a verb and requires an action. This is the agape kind of love that the scripture refers to.
Who is the enemy?
Who is my neighbour? Definition: Leviticus 19:18.
Great job Lex! Thanks. I know this is a whole other series of lessons and the basis for the divorcing ourselves from religion to follow the Word of Yah to its fullest. So... many Christians will fall to the lie that they're okay because the "follow" THE 10 Commandments. What's the best approach we then can take to unlearn that lie... to lead someone in the understanding that wherever it says "My commandments" it speaks of all the Law?
I remember a study that thought "love your enemies" means to want and pray for their salvation.
Thanks be to gods word
Thank godddd
No word no life ish 😳
It almost sounds like that if we make a mistake that are sins will NOT be for Forgiven if we are supposed to walk like Christ then we have to be PERFECT just like him BUT that is impossible because we are not like God we are Human we make mistakes but that does not mean that we cant do the best we can to stay away from SIN.
That is why we need the Holy Spirit
@@@danielblair4413: Fascinating doctrine. Do you have scripture to support all of those statements?
3 types of love in the bible 1. Agape= love for God 2. Philia= love of neighbors/mankind 3. Eros= romantic love
Hi I have a question about how many Gods is there son and the father? But his first commandment states you shall have no other gods before me..
How to love those who constantly work against and hate you?
Do they hate God? I think there is scripture to support hating those who hate God.
@Hermoine Snape, consider the words of Paul on this matter:
"Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." - Romans 12:17-21
Otherwise, pray for them. Over and over again. It may take weeks, months, years. But be blessed in knowing that you are getting a spiritual workout by not reacting to them, by being kind to them, by praying for them. You are improving your spiritual vision, and with the help of your prayers, perhaps they can start to develop spiritual vision... otherwise they may go blind.
@@natashamudford4011 This passage might not explicitly deals with those who 'hate God', but demonstrates clearly how your God wishes undesirable people to be treated:
Deuteronomy 13:12-16
You shall surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword, destroying it utterly, all who are in it and its cattle, with the edge of the sword. You shall gather all its spoil into the midst of its open square, and burn the city and all its spoil with fire, as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God; it shall be a heap for ever, it shall not be built again.
Yes it's true that you should love your enemies but there are some enemies that well kill you any ways they feel that Love is a weakness so they take advantage of the love and kill you because of it.
king of zimbabwe true true!!!!!!!!
That's pretty much what happened to Jesus , he loved his enemies although he knew they were going to kill him, still yet he asked God to forgive them.
🙏🙏🙏
LOVE
1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
HE IS JUDGED BY THE LIVING WORD OF GOD.
The FIRST LOVE
GOD is SPIRIT, and it is WRITTEN that they receive not the LOVE of the TRUTH.
GOD is LOVE.
GOD said my words are SPIRIT, so we who are spiritual should walk in the spirit.
GOD the FATHER said through JESUS CHRIST, that no man comes to the son unless the Father draws him, and no man comes to the Father but through the son.
Jesus Christ is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE and the DOOR to the KINGDOM of GOD through the HOLY GHOST.
If we RECEIVE the TRUTH, then we receive the TRUE LOVE.
If we RECEIVE the TRUE LOVE then we RECEIVE GOD the FATHER through the SON.
Receiving the son then means we WALK in the SPIRIT and not the FLESH.
TRUE LOVE is the WORD of GOD and the WORD of GOD is TRUTH.
Summit your MIND and HEART and SOUL to the TRUTH always and you will begin to see your EMOTIONS follow that which is TRUE LOVE.
FEAR GOD more than ANYTHING else because everything else is VAIN if GOD is not your FIRST LOVE.
FEARING THE LORD AND NOT ANY MANS OPINION WILL SURLY HELP US TO RECIEVE WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING AS IT IS WRITTEN.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
TO FINISH UP WITH,
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
WHICH WILL TAKE US TO,
Deuteronomy 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. = IN OTHER WORDS "HE HUMBLED YOU, AND CAUSED YOU TO SUFFER[CHASTISED] IN THE SPIRITUAL WILDERNESS, TO HUNGER FOR UNDERSTANDING AND WISDOM OF BEING IN SUCH A PLACE IN YOUR LIFE. HE FED YOU WITH MANNA WHICH IS THE SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING OF HOLINESS, IN WHICH YOU DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT. NEITHER DID YOUR FATHERS KNOW OF THIS SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING. FOR IF THEY DID KNOW THEN YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN. HE DID THIS IN HOPE THAT YOU MIGHT UNDERSTAND THAT MAN DOES NOT LIVE BY THIS WORLD ALONE, OR THE FLESH ALONE OR BY ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD ALONE BUT BY EVERY HOLY SPIRITUAL WORD THAT CAME FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD WHICH IS SPIRITUAL BREAD FROM HEAVEN WHICH IS KNOWN AS MANNA.
TO THE PARENTS: SO IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN (THEN) WHEN YOU(child) WERE YOUNGER I WOULD HAVE SHARED IT TO YOU, AS IT WAS GIVEN TO ME,
GIVING YOU BREAD THAT GOD GAVE ME, SHARING WITH LOVE AS I AM LOVED BY HIM WHO IS IN HEAVEN.
RAISE A CHILD IN THE WAYS OF THE LORD AND THEY WILL BE BLESSED.
The first kind of love you explained is also biblical like in Genesis 24:67.
Does God Himself say that He is love in the Old Testament? I have been reading the OT looking for the answer to this question, and I cannot find it.
Can u pray for me my heart an lungs r not doin good thanks
Hello
Love your teaching. What's the name of the Bible you're using, the one that say (Yeshua not Jesus)??
Can you make a video about Judging
Judge righteously as Jesus did
Torah is a tutor on how to love.
I would love to talk with you. Is there some way to contact you ?
I have a contact form on my website www.unlearnthelies.com
@@unlearnthelies ok. Thank you so much. Be in touch soon. No I'm not a shill I'm God believing and a believer of Jesus Christ and love the one who sent him. Thanks for the response.
Why can’t I not recommend this channel?
It is better to live on the corner of the roof than live in the house with a Qurrelsome wife! That's LOVE!
Lex, do you have a book?
I do, it is called "Immortal, the truth about heaven, hell, and the resurrection". The book is available on Amazon. amzn.com/1497594898
How we can love some one when she or he cheated u we are human beings we are not God
Sorry if that happened to you. We can love those who wronged us through a process of drawing near to God's mercy for us.
Think about this & meditate on it a bit.... The mercy you need to get through these legitimate but limiting emotions.
Doing so helped my heart overcome the hurt & anger.
Christ loved us first even though we didn't deserve it because we broke trust with Him by cheating on Him by being selfish and choosing sin.
Trust and ask Yeshua and the Spirit to help you love those who despicably used you & the answer of strength from the Holy Spirit will come even as the pain to come to a place in your heart to say this kind of prayer is difficult to bear..
God understands it is a struggle to overcome your hurt flesh. It is tribulation like this that give opportunity for Spiritual maturity to happen if you prayerfully trust & you will be blessed with peace and wisdom and gentleness towards yourself as you forgive the debt owed you by those that hurt you and are released. You will be healed by the Father as He pours greater forgiveness & power into your life. Be blessed & healed!🖐
What does Proverbs, Matthew and 1st Corinthians say about love?
Hedrawsthe bow and let's the arrow loose the arrow flus toward the target but misses the mark. Works and obedience are fruits of love, but are not love itself.
Which of the law are you referring to ? The Law of Moses or the Law of Yeshua ?
Yes
"what did moses tell you to do?", "they sit on moses' seat, do all thay they tell you".
Christ as my witness I have prayed for a while to know what love is , but between you, me , and Jesus. It does rend my heart a little, but in a good way, and I just wanted to sorry to you both. I could be doing a lot better, its just one of those thing you have to see first hand i guess.
How did Jesus loved his enemies ?
Jesus rebuked & told them the TRUTH. LOVE ❤️ means being honest & truthful to all just as we desire it for ourselves. Jesus didn’t go around hugging people but his style of love is giving them message of Salvation from town to town & didn’t waste time on those people who continue to not believe and resist him. We should imitate Christ’s style just as Apostle Paul said…
Love is Salvation
