Let Love Be Without Hypocrisy
Don’t carry bad intentions about your fellow brother in Christ, and claim to love him wholeheartedly. If you do, it’s not love but rather hypocrisy. Love people as Christ love them.

God is love and wants every part of your life to express Christ. His Word is your life manual. Treasure it. Read. Study and meditate upon it. You’ll see that it’ll be easy for the Holy Spirit to remind you (give you rhēma) anytime you need the Word to choose what you have to do.
God says He’ll reward you if you feed your enemy (Proverbs 25:21-22) Identify people who may not necessarily be your “known” enemy but have probably done something wrong to you before and are not changing. Get something nice, a gift or so, to give the person out of love.
We pursue righteousness by living God’s righteousness in us, where we’ll have zero tolerance for every wrongdoing. Also, we pursue love by continuing in its expression through giving every day without expecting a return.
Let’s stop hating people because they don’t speak good things about us. If your name as God’s child is gossiped about somewhere by evil people, rejoice because Jesus is being made known because of you. Love your enemies.
Solomon was the wealthiest king in the Bible. And upon all his riches, he tells us that we shouldn’t love pleasure, wine and oil, else we’ll not be rich. If a rich person like Solomon is telling us this, then he’s probably showing us one of the secrets he used to manage his wealth so well, even till the point of death.
When you refresh others, you inturn refresh yourself because God has fashioned you not to live lonely like how islands exist. You must help others, as they also help you.
Young man, the picture-perfect person you’ve created in your mind to share life with doesn’t exist. God may have blessed you with one of His daughters to be with, but probably that female isn’t exhibiting all the Christ-centred character traits you desire. Can I tell you something profound in the Word? Read more….
You may have read 1 Peter 4:8 and concluded that love covers a multitude of sins (instead of all sins). Today, I’d like you to know that the Bible also says love covers all sins.
If we want to understand God’s way of expressing His love in truth, then the only person to study and imitate is Jesus.
Love always requires some form of sacrifice. However, when you get inspired by grace to do it, none of these sacrificial acts will be burdensome.
“God so loved the world” in scripture doesn’t mean His love for this world seasonal, but it’s complete, at its highest peak, and also everlasting.
