Love is Living by His Word - March 9, 2014

Scripture: 2 John


6 Moreover, love is this: that we should live according to his commands. This is the command, as you people have heard from the beginning; live by it!
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, people who do not acknowledge Yeshua the Messiah’s coming as a human being. Such a person is a deceiver and an anti-Messiah. 8 Watch yourselves, so that you won’t lose what you have worked for, but will receive your full reward.9 Everyone who goes ahead and does not remain true to what the Messiah has taught does not have God. Those who remain true to his teaching have both the Father and the Son. 10 If someone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, don’t welcome him into your home. Don’t even say, “Shalom!” to him; 11 for the person who says, “Shalom!” to him shares in his evil deeds.


Message:

Love is living by His commands. For GOD is love and if we love GOD we should obey Him and everything He says should be our most prioritized goal.

Observation/Promise:
We have to work hard for our faith. We cannot be relaxed about it because the devil is always prowling waiting for us to be weak and to find open doors in our lives that he may gain a foothold and try to defeat us. As long as we are on earth, we are called to be faithful , we are in battle, we need to focus and be vigilant with our prayers and our faith in GOD. Let there be nothing in this world that competes with your heart except GOD. Because everything starts from the heart. Let GOD be your heart.

Command/Application:
Love by living by His commands.
Stand strong in the truth, do not let deceivers mislead you from the truth.
Watch yourselves, hold on to the truth. Be on guard. Be faithful.
Keep on working hard for the faith until you receive the full reward which awaits you in Heaven.
Do not go ahead of GOD, wait for His command, His instructions in your life.
Do not even say shalom to those who have rejected Yeshua for friendship with such people will bring you down in your faith.
