True agape!
What is this thing called agape? This word is common amongst most pentecostals and it simply means the God kind of LOVE. The word says "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal" (1corinth 13v1). How many people are holy ghost-annointed? Obviously so many. Is tongue-speaking not a sign of the manifestation of the holy spirit? Of course it is! But the bible here says if one has no love their tongues are a waste of time. Love is the foundation of Christianity. It forms the basis of anything that a Christian would do. God himself is love and where there is love there is genuine peace and joy. True love never fails, does not rejoice also in the wrong because it is the AGAPE. As Christians we are being exhorted by Christ in his greatest sermon in history, the Sermon on the Mount, that our good deeds must shine before men so that they may see them and give glory to our Heavenly Father. As a Christian you do not always have to open your mouth to evangelise but your good works alone must draw souls to God.

that one is a given!!! love is the greatest gift of all time, and christians who do not have this beautiful gift are as good as the brothers who are not saved.
ReplyDeleteLove is the one that leads us into doing all good things, one cannot perform an evil act and say that love motivated them to do so. Thanks for the spiritually motivating and uplifting pieces.
