We must continue to love


When I read the newspapers there is a sick feeling in my heart. The kinds of crimes that are happening is horrendous. Yesterday a kindergarten teacher was stabbed to death. The news reported that she fought cancer for 2 years and won but now she fought the snatch thief and was killed. "Lord have mercy! Lord we cry to You for justice! Lord cleanse our land from wickedness!"

What does the Lord have us do at such times?
He still wants us to love like He loved.
In the days of Jesus there were all kinds of crimes too.
Jesus left the comforts, beauty and glory of heaven and came to a messy, ugly, dark and sinful earth to love sinners like you and me, to love those who eventually nailed Him to a cross.

Without what He did for us on the cross we will all be condemned to an eternal hell.

Without what the early missionaries to Malaysia did for us, without what our dedicated Christian predecessors did for us, we will all still be lost and in darkness.

Let us continue to love with His love.
We can't do it without His love in our hearts.
But praise the Lord, He has poured His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Rom 5:5.

Let us continue to love because if we don't we will die!
Yes it is that serious. We will die, spiritually first and then our relationships will die and then we will end up in hell!

That's what GOD said. Read the verse below and allow the Holy Spirit to convict us!

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. (1Jn 3:14 NKJV)
