For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Prayer
Thank you for the word of life. Thank you for enabling me to abide in you. Lord, take away any hatred in my life.
As you laid your life for me, I want to be in a position for lay down my life for my fellow man.
I pray that as I come across those in need, what you have provided for me, I will be able to share with them.
I pray that the heart of love in me will grow and be genuine and is not artificial.
Thank father in Jesus’ name. Amen
