WHAT IT MEANS TO LOVE
“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 sweet smelling savour.”
– Ephesians 5:1-2
Love is something that a lot of
people talk and sing about. Many many songs are love songs because it is
something that we as human beings desire, fantasize and yearn for. Love can be
imperfect and directed. There are many ways to love.
You must not love like Cain did. You
must not love with territorial love, terminator love or eliminator love. This
form of love is basically the type that you find in wild animals (1 John 3:14).
If you study certain animals such as lions and dogs, you see them marking their
territory with urine. If any of their fellow lions or dogs cross that territory
they are done for. We have certain people who practice this kind of love. If
you cross their area of “my husband” or “my beloved” you will be eliminated.
An absence of love means that you
are dead. 1 John 3:14 tells us that whoever does not abide in love is dead!
Wherever there is no love, it is always like living in a place of death. So do
not marry someone because they have money or can give you a green card but
marry because of love. Even those who marry with love do not have an easy time
in their marriage so to marry without the presence of love is guaranteed death.
This is why it is difficult to serve God without loving Him. Things that are
not done with love are extremely difficult to like and continue in
