Do
you desire to do and live right all the time? Or are you struggling
with all manner of temptations and you need help? I have good news for
you. The power to overcome the weakness of the flesh and please God lies
on the law of the New Covenant: the love of God. This post explains how
God’s love helps you to live right.
For
the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us, because we are of
the opinion and conviction that [if] One died for all, then all died;
And He died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to
and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again for
their sake – 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (AMP)
Love
does no wrong to one’s neighbor [it never hurts anybody]. Therefore
love meets all the requirements and is the fulfilling of the law –
Romans 13:10 (AMP)
Many
people sincerely desire to obey God and His commands but are most
times defeated because they have not embrace Christ’s new commandment to
us: that we should love one another even as He had loved us, John
13:34. Your victory over sin depends on how much you obey this
instruction.
The
love for God and man in you delivers the power to do and live right to
you. Your love for God will urge you to please Him and your love for
your neighbor will help you to do good to him. The love of God in your
heart will not allow you to think evil of anyone talk less carrying it
out.
When
you understand that the life you live now is Christ living in you, and
that you are no longer to live to and for yourself but to and for
Christ, the power to do good will be greatly increased in you. And
Living for Christ is to walk in love at all times.
When
you struggle with walking in love, it means that you are not yet dead
to self ( Romans 6:6-11), but your desire to please your flesh is still
very much alive. God’s love empowers you to put God and His will first
before your own will and desires. Read more...
