Do you really Love. .. Them ?

I have often heard Christians greet me and others as their brother, and that tends to be a powerful statement of Love from one Christian to another. .. but I hear it sometimes and it sounds like a rehersed statement I hear when I go to a Chick-fil-A. ..just words without real actions . ..

What I hear all to often however is hate. .. You hate Joe Biden. .. You hate Donald Trump. .. You hate and label people as Illegal Immigrants. ... You hate Black Lives Matters. .. You hate the discussion of Critical Race Theory. .. but don't even know what it is. .. You hate me because I may say something that makes you uncomfortable and therefore you label me as a racist. ..

But . .. I will not allow you to pull me into your world of hate. .. but I will speack God's truth. ..

And it sounds like this. ..

1John Chapter 4 verse 20 states: If someone says, "I Love God" and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from HIm: that he who loves God must love his brother also. ..

So when I hear all the political noise of hate from Christians. .. it makes me both angry and sad. .. As a Christian, we are here to glorify God and win Souls for His Kingdom. .. and yet when I hear Christians caught up in the World spouting hate for other souls. .. I am sad. .. because how can we win Souls for God if we spread hate just like the world. ..It makes me angry because your actions give power to Satan as you sound just like him when you do this. .. How can we help save a dying world if we as Christians sound and act just like the world. ..

It makes me ask the question. .. Are you really a Christian? Do your words and actions connect you to Jesus. .. or do they separate you from Him? You don't have to answer the question. .. but God knows the answer that lies in your heart. .. and if it is not God's Love that is in your heart. ...

Then Jesus may speak these words to you. .. "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me you that work iniquity. (Matthew 7:23). You can't hate and be a follower of Christ. There is no middle ground. ... Consider your ways. .. because how you choose will clearly define your future. .. will it be with Christ?. .. if so, He will say. .. "Well done, thou good and faithful " servant (Matthew 25:21). We all get to choose. .. it is the Free Will that God has given us all.

Your words and actions have already revealed your choice. .. what will He say to you on that day?

May God's Grace and Mercy shower your heart with His Love. .. and may you share that Love with ALL people. Amen.
