Pastor Steve gave a Part II message on Love ❤️. Last week we talked about Loving God with all our hearts and loving our neighbors. "Love needs to look like something." Heidi Baker Iris Ministries
Last nights convicting message was on "Loving your Enemy" what that is, & what that looks like.
Luke 6:27-36 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you. “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
While Jesus ministered there were times when Jesus acted firm & abrupt. Even while doing so He was acting in Love in Truth.
Love is not contract thinking it's Covenant! We as the body need to come into places where change is needed for patience, peace & love. Love is the way of salvation & to salvation. People bonding with one Another to bring them benefit. We need to leave our comfort zones to rescue others through the Love of Jesus. We seem to have a hard time loving our enemies at times because we don't want to let go of our accomplishments, our good deeds or self worth. That's when we really need to evaluate if we're acting out of our heavenly identities & purposes or our fleshly ones. Loving our enemies can be challenging, but Jesus has called us to do so. Acting in Love is a commitment to care for & to faithfully act for their benefit. Love is both passion and loyalty woven together. Jesus took the cross for all our sins. We can act in Love to our friends and enemies in prayer, compassion, mercy and Grace.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned & fall short of the Glory of God
