To Continue to LOVE - AP

Before entering the promised land, JOSHUA was instructed to be very bold and courageous and to be careful to obey the commands that were given him
.
3 times the LORD ENCOURAGED him, TO BE BOLD AND COURAGEOUS
.
Why? Bcoz there were giants in the land.
.
And like goliath, these ones challenge GOD and His Armies and know NO SHAME and have NO FEAR of GOD before their eyes--
.
Before the LORD left His disciples on the night before His crucifixion, He left them a NEW COMMAND-- TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER as He has loved them
.
This is the NEW COMMAND.
.
before Moses died, He reminded Israel to LOVE THE LORD THEIR GOD (the Shemah).
.
This was His warning and severe instruction to Israel before entering the promised land.
.
The same with our SAVIOR, the instruction was to LOVE one another, bcoz the world hates them.
.
Bcoz they already loved JESUS, they already loved GOD, and had made an Eternal Covenant with Him, He reminded them to LOVE one another, so this will be the witness that they were HIS FOLLOWERS
.
WE R HIS WITNESSES on the earth
WE R HIS FOLLOWERS if we lay down our lives for Him
.
Bcoz HE NOW LIVES IN US, we love GOD and love others
.
just as He has loved us
.
A great woman of GOD said, "It takes courage to love, and keep on loving. And to continue in love." ( - Camilla Young)
.
Bcoz to love as He loved makes us vulnerable.
.
So it takes real bravery to love, even our enemies and to continue to do good to all men, just as CHRIST does.
.
"So be powerful. Be vulnerable."
.
let's continue to love as He loves.
.
Bcoz as we do, He is always with us to help us.
.
.
Shalom all!
