Eyesalve: Demonstrated Love

By | Eyesalve

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Jn. 3:16

My wife and I were talking the other night how when we say “I love you” to each other, we can’t help but say, “I love you” back. Then a thought came to me and I said to Joy, I never heard God say to me that He loves me. Then I began to think that I never read in the gospels where Jesus said directly to anyone that He loves them. But, I answered my own thought and I said to Joy, God never said to me that He loves me, He just showed it to me. The point behind this is, “Demonstrated Love far Surpasses Verbal Love.”

Eyesalve: Love Fervently

By | Eyesalve

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” I pe. 1:22-23

Verse 22 says, “love one another with a pure heart fervently.” Verse 23 follows that demand by reiterating that we are born again by an incorruptible seed. The kind of love, “with a pure heart fervently,” is impossible for anyone to do unless they are born again. If you have a hard time loving the brethren from a pure heart and with fervency more than likely it is because you have not really been born again.

Eyesalve: Obey The truth

By | Eyesalve

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” I Pe. 1:22-23

Christ only, can justify us before God, but when it comes to purifying our soul, it is our responsibility. We purify our souls by obeying the truth. Of course, we cannot do this without the Spirit’s help. Since we have His help, let’s obey the truth and walk in purity.
