The Blood of Jesus Christ legally erased our sins from our life records which has allowed us to be fully restored to Our Heavenly Father. Our worth has been restored in HIS eyes and we are now available to have HIM work in us and through us. We are a product of FATHER’S Love and meant to spread that Love to others.
FATHER values us and has high esteem for each of us. HE gave HIS Son for each of us which illustrates our value to HIM. We should embrace our value and expect to walk according to the esteem HE places on us. We are meant to spread HIS message of Love to those who are not aware of HIS Love plan.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 John chapter 4:
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
If you walk in faith but without Love, you do not know FATHER. If you go around prophesying and do “prophetic works” without the motivation of unconditional Love in your life, you also do not know FATHER. Love must be our primary motivation in all that we do. Without Love, our words are empty and have no true power. Love establishes our worth to FATHER’S Kingdom and any attempt to establish without Love is fruitless.
Evidence of our Love for FATHER is expressed by our Love for others. If we have no fruit in this area then we do not truly have the revelation of Love in our hearts.
Love without works is dead. If we produce no fruit of Love, then we have no revelation of Love. Love always produces.
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 9:
6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
We must purpose in our heart to give. We cannot be coerced into giving as many teachers and preachers have done in the past. Each of us should be led by The Holy Spirit in our giving.
Some evangelists would have us believe that their ministry should be the primary recipient of our giving. Not so. Only if you are led by THE SPIRIT should you give into their ministry. We encounter people in need every day who should receive our giving. We must not be moved by tradition to think that our offerings should be limited to a church, evangelistic association, or other “Christian” organization. Did Jesus emphasize giving to a synagogue during His ministry?
There are many hurting people who need to be encouraged that FATHER Loves them through our giving. When we unconditionally give to meet a need of another person, this act expresses FATHER’S Love toward that person. As we seek to give to others, FATHER provides us with a bountiful harvest as a means to increase our giving and expressing HIS Love toward mankind.
FATHER has faith in those who Love HIM to be good stewards of resources to further HIS Kingdom. Expressing HIS Word to others is a primary resource but confirming HIS Word by our acts will solidify the importance of HIS Word to the recipients of Love. Our acts confirm our commitment to walk in Love toward others.
