The Love of God is Peace, not bitter or Discord

Let’s take a look through the word of God and get some understanding on how servant of God should love and respect one another. Seeing that we should all be on one accord seeking truth and righteousness.

Let’s begin in Matthew 5: 1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 and he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 but I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Jesus was talking to his disciples and a multitude of people came about, so Jesus went up on the mountain. So we being servant of God supposes to show love at all times and mourn for the evil we see happening on earth. Servants of God are the salt of the earth the light of the world. People will watch your behavior and see the word of God that work in you. If servants of God have problem with another seek peace and dealing with your brother or Sister with love and resolve all issues in the love of God.

Let’s go to 1 John 4: 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

So this is a very good example on how love is distribute. Jesus is the propitiation for our sin, meaning Jesus paid for our sin, our past sin. He was the ultimate sacrifice for us. So we should look at our brother and Sisters as in the same love as Jesus has for us. Who is my brother and my Sister? All of the children of Adam!

Let’s go to Romans 13: 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

And that is what God’s holy commandments are all about; the first four tells you how to love God and the last six tells you how to love your neighbor. If you love your God you will not do any thing to offend him, like having other gods before him. You will do as he says like remember the sabbath day to keep it holy on the seventh day of the week. If you love him you will obey him when he tells you not to eat certain meats etc…

And the same goes for your fellow man, if you love your neighbor you wouldn’t steal from him, you wouldn’t kill him, you wouldn’t try and sleep with his wife and so on and so forth. This is God’s definition of love and it is perfect in its ways. (See exodus 20: 1-17)

Let’s go to James 4: 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Notice, James says not to Judge someone as if you passes sentence against someone, a moderator. Jesus is the lawgiver, and if you know better and don’t do it, you have sinned.

Let’s go to Proverbs 16: 27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: And in his lips there is as a burning fire. 28 A froward man soweth strife: And a whisperer separateth chief friends. 29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, And leadeth him into the way that is not good. 30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: Moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass. 32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

Don’t be a person that diggers up evil or froward, which is a crooked person. Don’t be a person that stir up strife or a talebearer. But be slow to anger, a person who is patient, calm and meek. Be the type of person that can rule your spirit well, with good fruits.
