Express His Love

Pastor Anita Oyakhilome

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 (John 3:16).

If you’re born again, then the love of Christ is in
your heart by the Holy Spirit. Since God has put
His love in your heart, He now expects you to
share that love with those around you. He wants
the world to see and appreciate the matchless
beauty of His love through you. Therefore, you
should take every opportunity in your daily
encounter with people to express God’s love to
them.

Love for people is what really counts with God.
God is love, and we’re to love like Him: “Be ye
therefore followers of God, as dear children; And
walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and
hath given himself for us an offering and a
sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling
savour” (Ephesians 5:1-2). Hatred for anyone,
irrespective of what they may have done against
you is unacceptable to God. Jesus showed us the
excellent example by loving everyone He met. He
loved even His accusers; those who put Him on
the cross. We ought to emulate the Master by
loving everyone, no matter the circumstances.

Love is self-giving; it makes you think of others
and accept them just as they are. Love is
unselfish and doesn’t seek its own; it breaks the
barriers of race, ethnicity, and social status. Take
some time to express the love of Christ to
someone today.

Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for your love that fills my
life to overflowing, having been shed abroad in my
heart by the Holy Spirit. That love radiates
through me today, and I manifest it to everyone in
my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

F U R T H E R S T U D Y:
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any
thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law. ;

Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,
strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders,
drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the
which I tell you before, as I have also told you in
time past, that they which do such things shall
not inherit the kingdom of God. ;

Ephesians 5:1-2 Be ye therefore followers of God,
as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ
also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us
an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweetsmelling savour.
