LOVE IS THE GREATEST FORCE ON EARTH

God is love. We are called to represent Him on earth. We must love like He loves. We cannot do it by ourselves, for we were born in sin. Only the love of God in us can love. The Holy Spirit came to endow us with love. Love is the hallmark of a Christ follower. Love is the chief character quality of a Christian. What is love? Love is an action that thinks of the other first and I last. Whenever I think of what is in it for me, I am not walking in love but in selfishness. This is the spirit of the world, which has also infiltrated His church. Where there is this spirit, there will be discord and every kind of fleshly desire, like jealousy, pride, and envy. Jesus humbled Himself and went to the Cross. Humility is another characteristic of a Christ follower. Not I, but Christ. We are to follow Jesus in these attributes, and everything else follows from these two. How much do we see this in Christ followers today? No wonder the world is not moved to follow Him. We must cry out to God to fill us with His love and humility and not rest till we are filled. Love is the greatest force on earth to turn the heart of a sinner into a saint.
