How are we to go about fulfilling the commandment of Jesus to love as He does? Jesus said that the greatest of all is the servant of all. When we bear the burdens of others, we fulfill the law of Christ.

For a start we need to be Born Again to know what God’s Love is...His Spirit is Love, we know that when “ Spirit gives birth to spirit..my opinion/ testimony and belief.
We must know God’s Love first....as He Loved us first.
For love on that level yes. Fully sacrificial...letting go of control to God in full surrender. But we can serve one another without that level of sacrifice.Short commentary.
The Holy Spirit gives us the power to love. As a result, the more you allow God's Spirit to control you, the more you will love God (and others) because the Spirit is loving through you and teaching you how to love(Romans 5:5, Ephesians 5:1-2).
100% true, imo....that short commentary.
Indoctrination by who?.what I know came from the Spirit of God leading me through and bringing me to understand His word via His Spirit....man has never taught me.Perhaps for rich people and the wicked. But there are many in poor countries who will give you the shirt off their back. Like the woman who give all she had...the widow's two mites.
We can be SO indoctrinated as to think all people are as selfish as we are or were.
Well, God does say that those without His Spirit are none of His...For love on that level yes. Fully sacrificial...letting go of control to God in full surrender. But we can serve one another without that level of sacrifice.
This thread and the podcast is about doing what we can TOWARDS those who live sacrificially for Christ. Even non-believers do this. See Matt. 25...sheep and goats.
Please explain what you are saying here?Perhaps for rich people and the wicked

Sure. We love as Jesus loves through the Spirit.Do you believe this short commentary?

Just my 2 cents here.....Not my will Lord....You Will be done through me....
Hmmm, you might want to remind the poor cannibals as they give you a cup of cold water before cooking you for dinner, lol. Or shrinking your head, or scalping you, or stealing from you, or doing what some poor folks did to Israelis on Oct. 7 recently, or the poor Boko Haran soldiers who steal school girls and hack their families to death. The human race is lost without the Saviour and that's a fact. Some folks sure do need to get rid of their rose-coloured glasses and stop singing Kumbaya and let's-all-join-hands-around-the-campfire songs. There is both good and evil in people in the fallen state......you know, from that Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.........and it all falls short of the glory.We can love others as ourselves...as poor people do in third world countries.
Born again . Born again . Anyone who is born again would never reject Christ as the MESSIAH , the savoir .For a start we need to be Born Again to know what God’s Love is...His Spirit is Love, we know that when “ Spirit gives birth to spirit..my opinion/ testimony and belief.

Amen brother. Some are tares and false brethren and others fall away and stop enduring sound doctrine. I think those who are younger in the Lord and not as established in the faith might be more vulnerable to being deceived and being led astray by false teachers. There sure is a spirit of deception around these days....and it IS deceptive.Born again . Born again . Anyone who is born again would never reject Christ as the MESSIAH , the savoir .
Always keep that in memory . For the SPIRIT testifies OF JESUS CHRIST . never of muhammed and etc
and good works . The SPIRIT would never preach a love that nullifies in any way the DIRE NEED TO BELIEVE on JESUS the CHRIST .
For those who are BORN again have been BORN of THE SPIRIT ............
always keep that in memory . Because many now come and try and plant an idea
that other religoins are born again if they just have this form of doing good to one another .
That aint testifying of JESUS CHRIST . rather only parts of what he said while omitting the DIRE NEED TO BELIEVE ON HIM .
I KNOW of only ONE WHO WOULD EVER DARE to do such a thing .
and its the same one who told eve , NAY ye shall not die ........................
only now it sayeth surely ye shall not perish if ye believe not that JESUS IS THE CHRIST ...........
he lied then , he lies now . only we born again aint gonna heed that voice at all sister . we is gonna point
TO the dire need to BELEIVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST and To love thy neighbor as thyself .
Now hit them trenches rita . and let the LORD be praised
OH ITS HIGHLY DECEPTIVE . a very strong delusion to unify the world and her religoins has been unleashedAmen brother.

I think those who are younger in the Lord and not as established in the faith might be more vulnerable to being deceived and being led astray by false teachers.

somewhere along the line the COMMANDMENT TO BELIEVE JESUS IS THE CHRIST and TO LOVE ONE ANOTHERHmmm, you might want to remind the poor cannibals as they give you a cup of cold water before cooking you for dinner, lol.

You should also care for them, and be kind. You know, you can be kind. No good reason to preach with a constant rebuke.SPEAKING of love thy neighbor as thyself . YE SHALL NOT HATE your neighbor in your heart ,
you shall correct , rebuke them and not allow sin upon them .
I have witnessed to a muslim man . IF i knew where he was nowYou should also care for them, and be kind. You know, you can be kind. No good reason to preach with a constant rebuke.
How would you lead someone to Christ, amigo? What would you tell them about Him? Use the Roman road?
yes indeed i have witnessed . heck even to gays .You should also care for them, and be kind. You know, you can be kind. No good reason to preach with a constant rebuke.

Taking on a religious bent doesn't save anyone. It just puffs up a religious ego...so that a person feels they are justified in their own eyes, and they are now qualified to condemn others. But that is the way of death. There is a way that seems right to the ego driven mind...I have witnessed to a muslim man . IF i knew where he was now
i would have you to go and ask him . Rather odd indeed would be his report to you all .
IT would not be what you all expect to hear . The man thought i was very kind and nice . SUPRISED My dear friend .
But i sure did let him know the truth . Heck one day i even bought him some food to his work
and talked more with him . SUPRISED cassandra .
SOme here thinks me a hater just cause i am quite grave and do often rebuke our fellow believers .
YEAH the religon is of satan . just as is every other religion .
BUT the LORD always has given me the CORRECT words to say to folks i witness too
My biggest problem has sadly been with ...............any guesses , SO CALLED PROFESSED christains .
AInt that sad . they accuse me the most by far of any one . chalk that one up sister . SAD days indeed .
Please tell me how one can learn to Love others, without the Spirit opening our heart / softening our heart to Love others?and learn to love others.

We cannot love as God Loves in our own strength.impossible.
false. To love is to serve others...to help others in times of need. Read about the good Samaritan. Did Jesus condemn him...or was he rebuking those who thought they were already saved?I would show my human love before I became Born Again.....humans loving humans, is emotional love...God’s Love is Spirit..it’s not emotional..imo/ belief.
