RHAPSODY OF REALITIES TEEVO SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16
(LOVE: IT’S THE MANIFESTATION OF THE CHRIST-LIFE IN YOU)
TO THE BIBLE
1 John 3:14 GNB “We know that we have left death and come over into life; we know it because we love others. Those who do not love are still under the power of death.”
LET’S TALK
“I love you” for some Christians is the hardest thing to say, but the truth is, the first manifestation of eternal life in you is the love of God. When you’re born again, the love of the Father is awakened in your spirit. There’re people who hate us Christians, not because we did anything wrong, but just because of Jesus. Such people aren’t born again; they haven’t passed from death to life. When you’re born again, you can’t hate anyone, because there’s love in your heart. It’s the fruit of your recreated human spirit.
1 John 3:14 says we know we’ve passed from death to life, not because we can perform miracles, or because we can prophesy and speak in tongues: it’s because we love our brothers and sisters in Christ! As a Christian, you must make the uncompromising choice to walk in love always. It doesn’t matter the extent of hatred and animosity you experience from those around you, you have the obligation as a Christian to love and not hate.
Reflect on our Lord Jesus: think about how they were cruel to Him, nailing Him to the cross and cursing him, yet He looked up to heaven and said, “…Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do…” (Luke 23:34). That’s love! He could have destroyed them all in a moment of time, but His love overlooked their ignorance and forgave their wrong. The love that you have for other believers is a testimony in your spirit; it’s a witness within you that you’ve passed from death to life. Hallelujah!

SPEAK
