RE: Abide in His love, the perfect love.
Truth have you said. But permit me to add something to this...and this is word to everyone that comes across this post.
You must have heard that there's an obvious difference between being moral and being a Christian.
Morality is good, almost perfect even. Most "Christians" are nothing more than pure moralists. They knew and strive to do what they feel is socially acceptable as what's good and right to do.
What differentiates the Moralist from the Christian is the Holy Spirit. Now we all have different ways we experience Him and even tho the ultimate is the obvious speaking in other tongues, which I'm personally still praying for, even tho many have abused the sacredness of that gift, truth is that those that have the Holy Spirit are "moved" to act, "moved" to feel. Jesus, the first man to experience the Holy Spirit, was "moved" many times in the Gospels to act, "moved" to feel.
God is Love, true. But the only way to love like God is to have something of/from Him. Otherwise you'll love that the religious moralist. I dunno if I'm making any sense. I sure hope I am.
All I'm saying is that if you TRULY wish to love like God does, you MUST have God's Holy Spirit living in you.
I hope someone understands.
Wow. I understand you perfectly. The holy spirit is "truth" and that is how we can act according to christ as christians. Anyone can be morally standard by doing what they feel is right that does not mean it is right in the sight of God.
The holy spirit is a gift that Jesus promised anyone who is willing to abide in him so that tge spirit which is one with christ can help direct in the real truth.
Thank you so much for your explaination. Let us continue to ask for the holy spirit to know the truth and abide in christ as christian not just moralists but strongchrist-like people.
