He who does not love abides in death. 1 John 3:14.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Love and love alone will bring you to My throne. Love has opened the way. There is no other way.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” John 14:6.
“This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. John 15:12.
NOTHING will be able to separate you from My love, which I manifest to you in Christ Jesus your Lord. Romans 8:37-39.
I am love and in Jesus, in Him, all of My fullness, the fullness of God, dwells in bodily form and in Him you are made complete. Colossians 2:9-10. You are My workmanship created in Christ Jesus for the life of good deeds I prepared for you in advance that you would enjoy walking them out with Me.
All love is in Jesus and when you are in Him, you are love too. Love is your purpose just as it is Mine. Love is power, love never fails, love conquers the grave, and love took all your sins away. I have poured My love in your heart by the gift of the Holy Spirit. For He is love as well, for We are all One, and you too become one with us when you come through the way of My Son, get filled with My Spirit and sit with Me on My throne in Jesus.
He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’” Revelation 3:21-22.
Let My Word dwell in you richly so that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith, for faith comes by hearing and hearing My Word about Christ, so you will be rooted and grounded in love.
Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. Colossians 2:6-7.
Established in Him you are established in righteousness, for I made Him who knew no sin to be sin on your behalf so that in Him you become righteous with My own righteousness. Not your own by works, but Mine by grace through faith. Thus, you do not lose it based on your feelings or works but by the finished work of Jesus. You are righteous so now you can live righteously for it is your new nature in Christ.
For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17.
And your instructor is the Holy Spirit, for He testifies to you that your sins and offenses I remember no more and witnesses with your spirit that you are My child and a joint heir with Christ.
Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother. 1 John 3:4-10.
Jesus stands at the door of your heart and knocks and if you hear His voice and open your heart to Him, He will come and dwell in your heart through faith as your glory, rooting and grounding you in love. And in that place of mutual love there is revelation of the tremendous and unfathomable love that I have for you whom I have made so that you may ever increase in the knowledge of My love for you as revealed in what I have done for you in Christ, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all My fullness as a partaker of My divine nature in Christ.
I want to overflow your cup with love. And then out of you flow rivers of love to a thirsty world.
Owe no debt to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. For this, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13:8-10.
If love of another is based on how you feel at the moment, love will grow cold and result in no commitment to the one proclaimed as the one loved. Also it will make you feel unloved if you base love on your feelings, for you will not always feel loved. Jesus on the Cross felt abandoned and alone trapped in the punishment of your sins, but He did it in love and out of love and through love and got through it by love. Love covers sins.
Many people don’t “feel” loved. Do you know why? Sin makes you feel unloved. This happened to Adam. He felt loved by Me and ran to Me with confidence and joy before he sinned against Me, but when he sinned, he hid out of fear of Me. I had not changed but he had. Sin defiles your emotions. But perfect love casts out fear. I am perfect love and I always tell you “fear not” for I am with you.
Once Satan deceives you with sin it creates a downward spiral that will plunge you deeper and deeper into darkness, fear, and hate of self and others because you feel unloved and as if you have lost all honor and integrity in your life. But this is not the case. The prodigal son did this until he hit such a low point that he came to his senses at last and returned. He came out of the pit back to the palace, so to speak, but he approached in fear and called himself an unworthy servant rather than a son.
The wages of sin is death because death is the destruction that results where there is no love.
Yes, the wages of sin is death because sin is nothing but a lack of receiving and giving love. There is no law against acting in true love. Sin is a lack of being loved. Sin is being without love.
So what is the antidote for sin? Love. My love. I am love. And you are in My image. You need to receive love and give love to survive and thrive. I so loved you that I gave you My beloved Son so that you who receive Him, who is love, would never perish but would have eternal life. The mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. In you is love. Embracing you no matter what.
Love is the answer to everything. Love never fails. Love covers sin. Love is stronger than death. Love is a consuming fire. And love is in you if you have received Jesus as Lord. He is King of kings and Lord of lords. Love is king and conquers every evil work.
Love people and yourself into wholeness, into shalom, into My rest. The place of rest is the rest in My everlasting arms of love. I tell you that My left hand is under your head and My right hand embraces you. You are hugged at all times. Know that. It is not what your emotions “feel,” it is what you know by faith. Come to know and believe in the love I have for you by reading, meditating on, and seeing yourself in the mirror My Word. Each time you lift your eyes you will see, My loving eyes are gazing on thee, shalom, shalom, all is well, shalom, shalom all is well.
Without the influence of love, you will not grow but will eventually die. That is why so many are alcoholics, drug addicts, gluttons, and depressed. They have never received or given love. And they cannot be healed until they come to know and believe in the love I have for them. If they will let Me pour My love into them everything will change in their lives, for My love is better than the finest wine.
Love and everything will be okay. Walk in love, think in love, and talk in love. Love has a way of working things out for your good and everyone else’s good too. Like Joseph, the son of Jacob, did for his family of hatred and for the pagan Egyptians and for the entire Middle East. By knowing and believing in My love and care for him, he was able to become a shelter and refuge for multitudes to feed them in time of famine. Love is the answer to everything.
And if you want to develop a program to help people trapped in darkness, develop one of loving them into wholeness. Let Me show you how. I have been doing it from the beginning. HUGS- “Healing Under God’s Spirit.” By the gift of My Spirit, I pour My love into your hearts, and that quickens your mortal bodies to life as I embrace you in My everlasting arms.
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39.
I love you. And that is the key to loving. First you have to know and believe in the love I have for you. Read Psalm 103 and then look at Jesus and realize what I did for you in Him. I forgave you, healed you, pulled you out of the pit, surrounded you with love and compassion, filled your days with good, so your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. No weapon formed against you will prosper and every tongue raised against you, you will prove false. Your righteousness is from Me. You have no reason to fear. Love loves you and has espoused you forever in an eternal Covenant of love.
