Love is the Example

[branchesofHim]

Jesus was our example and we are to follow His steps in the earth. He came not only to provide the way for us to be redeemed by God. He also came to destroy the works of the devil and to show us how to live this life.

1 John 3:[8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Before Jesus returned to Heaven, He left His calling on us to continue to do what He had done (to destroy the works of the devil). We are assigned to destroy the works of the devi through the Holy Spirit just as Jesus did while He was on the earth.

John 17:[15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
[16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
[17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
[18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

John 20:[21] Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

In order to live victorious over the powers of darkness we MUST walk in love towards all men. Love is God and Jesus showed us how to love as an example.

Acts 10:[38] How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

1 John 4:[7] Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
[8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

John 3:[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

If you aren't walking in love, you are walking in darkness and cannot receive the light of revelation.

Shalom

Fruit of the Spirit?

Fruit of the Spirit?

Good point. And the fruit depends on the seed and the soil. Apple seeds will not produce pears for example.

Genesis 1:[11] And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

Then water is required for the soil in order for the seed to germinate. Shalom
