God's love for each other . This should create a problem , and I am OK with this . Many will say that they love God , but that is a lie for many use the word , but do no know it's true meaning . The scripture ( Bible) is full of the different loves mentioned in their , but we use 5 of them , and still many do not know what are the 5 loves in the bible they're just stuck on 1 , and that they still get it wrong , but we're going to try to talk about the basic love that we're to have for each other. We're told in John 13:34 , John 15:12. to love each other, but do we ?
The Savior gave a new commandment to His disciples, saying: “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Now here is the problem we do not have this love.
Listen to how simple this is to love others is to serve them . You love others when you do things for them without expecting anything in return , things you may not like to do, and that will cost or inconvenience you. There is no love without service. Jesus said He came to serve others (Mark 10:45). The phrase "one another" is derived from the Greek word allelon which means "one another, each other; mutually, reciprocally." It occurs 100 times in the New Testament.
He ( God) wants us to experience incredible, life-changing love, mercy, and compassion not only from Him , but from those around us. And He wants us to show that love to others. The call to love and help others in tangible ways — especially those weaker than ourselves — runs throughout the Bible.
Why do we need to love one another? 1 John 4:7 : “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.” 1 John 4:11-12 : “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.” There you have it.
True love drives out all fear.
