FAITH CAPSULE: Word is love as commanded by God is of faith.

1 John 3

The word love is rooted in faith.
When Jesus comes back, will He find faith (Love)? (Luke 18:8)
Do you love as requested by God?
Jesus questioned, “
Do you love others?
1 John 3:11 states, “For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.”
Many claim to believe that loving one another is not in heart.
Are you in the Lord? One that claims the word of God by not living the Lord is not evidence of living by the word of God. 1 John 2:5 states, “But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this, we know that we are in Him.”  Loving should be the key to the life of a believer.
Jesus gave the parable, “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance, a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Likewise, a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion.” (Luke 10: 30-33)
A man in the parable was attacked and wounded by thieves.
A priest and Levite saw the wounded but passed on the other side. Do you love the kind of priest and Levite that passed on and did not help?
An unbeliever demonstrated love as stated in Luke 10:33, “But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion.
Acclaimed believers in the name of love walked away, but the sinner, a certain Samaritan, answered and demonstrated the love.
The sinner had compassion like Jesus.
Are you being deceived by church title or by a man-designed position in the church? One can be a priest or Levite and not answer to the task of a priest or Levite.
The certain Samaritan gave care when he supplied materials and paid the bill in full.
Can you answer the question of Jesus?
The question of Jesus in Luke 10:36 states, “So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?”
Serving to please God is not only in religious activity.
Serving to please God demands to love others.
John 13:34-35 buttressed, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this, all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Living by His command is the evidence of a true follower of Jesus.
All must love as commanded by God.

Prayer for today: Ask to live engaging the command of God.
