The Principle of Love
Dr RJ Sing · 2 min read
“If I had the gift of being able to speak in other languages without learning them and could speak in every language there is in all of heaven and earth, but didn't love others, I would only be making noise.”
Until the Word prevails, John 13:34-35 will never be known in the world. “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Love was the prevailing power that unseen something that governed the early church therefore the Word makes us love.
1 John 4:7-8 AMP “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) of God and is coming [progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him]. 8 He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.” Love here is proof of the New Birth. Only those that love have evidence that they have passed out of death into life, because they love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death and he has never received Eternal Life, the nature of God. Only as the Word prevails in the heart do we actually know the reality of these Divine things.
The Word of love prevailing in the heart takes a man out of the realm of weakness and failure, where his words will cause offense, and his actions will lead others to do wrong.
