CHECKING OURSELVES IN HOW WELL WE ARE CHRISTLIKE IN LOVE 3 DEC 2017
There are some great Bible chapters, for instance Hebrews 11 the faith chapter. The love chapter is 1 COR 13. Christ was the love of God. God himself being love. (cf 1 JN). So we can look at the definition of love in 1 COR 13 and substitute Christ (for charity or love–depending on your translation). For instance, the KJ says: “Charity suffereth long, and is kind.” Christ suffereth long, and is kind. And now for the kicker, substitute your own name in for each of these definitions of love in 1 COR 13:4-7 and see how you stack up in being Christlike. Our identity is in Christ and we want to be as Christlike as possible. This is a good way to think about what we still need to improve on.
BASICALLY GONE FOR A WEEK. This is a heads up to everyone that I will be offline with my pc computer for at least a week. I may come online for short periods using my cell phone. Sorry for any inconvenience it may cause anyone.
Have a blessed day.
