WHEN YOU DON'T LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, YOU DON'T LOVE GOD

in HeartChurch3 years ago

Love of neighbor is a manifestation of God's love in our life since a person who professes to have God is because he really is a new creature and has transformed his heart where there should be nothing impure that allows us to break love, mercy and the grace that God has manifested to us through his holy spirit

Naturally, people who do not have God in their hearts are people who act according to the flesh and in them all kinds of anti-values ​​of dishonor for God are manifested because they are vindictive, spiteful, selfish, disloyal, reckless people and this is inevitable in someone who He does not know the grace and love of God for his life because if he does not love God, he can less love his neighbor

Loving God must be expressed in love for the brothers of the faith and for all the neighbor since if we cannot love our neighbor whom we have next to us and we socialize with them earthly how are we going to say that we love God whom we do not we have seen then the bible warns us that he who loves God must also love his brother

1 John 4:21
And this commandment we have from Him: that whoever loves God, love his brother also.

Love is expressed through the manifestations of the holy spirit and has fruits, therefore love for our neighbor must be shown with love, affection, with works, without selfishness, always wishing the best as we wish for ourselves

Galatians 5:14
Indeed, the entire law is summed up in a single commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
(RVR1960)

The second most important commandment in humanity after loving God is to love our neighbor as ourselves and indeed when we love our neighbor we feel free with inner peace since we do not harbor any evil in our heart for them but we wish good and we do what is in our power to make them feel good and be happy as well as we wish happiness and well-being

Romans 13:10
Love does no harm to others. So love is the fulfillment of the law.
(RVR1960)

Demonstrating God's love for our neighbor implies a genuine love that is transferred by God through the manifestations of the holy spirit and that are turned into works since the only true means to transform the human heart is the word of God inspired by the Holy spirit without it we could not love our neighbor as ourselves, that is, this implies not wanting evil or attacking them in a selfish way, it implies helping them as much as possible in adversities and rejoicing when life goes well, it means talking to them of God's great love so that they too can receive God's grace

If you want to know if you love God, reflect on how you see your neighbor and what you want for them. Certainly in the response of your heart is the correct key to that "love of your neighbor"

Love is love only when it is expressed.
