1 John 4:20, NIV
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.Our genuine love for one another is evidence that we love God. Love is not assembling ourselves together, nor is it walking hand in hand, or two-by-two. So then, how can we properly exhibit love if we don't know what love truly is?
1 John 3:16-17 NIV
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?We don’t get to choose who is need, in a given season of their life, and we certainly don't judge a book by its cover. We simply serve because we have been given the means to do so, in a certain season of our lives.
Luke 3:11, NIV
John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”Now that you know what love is, you should better understand that pointing the finger at a homeless elder is diabolically hypocritical. Pleasing God, according to His definition of love, truly rests in the hands of those who hold the world's goods.
Hebrews 13:16, NIV
"Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God."Not one word about gray and black, or turning your back, or even rituals is mentioned in any of those scriptures.
Where there's no Love, there's no Honor. Where there's no Honor, there's no Reward. If you're not loving, you're hating. God doesn't reward those who hate Him; He rewards those who honor Him.
Where there's no Love, there's no Honor. Where there's no Honor, there's no Reward. If you're not loving, you're hating. God doesn't reward those who hate Him; He rewards those who honor Him.
1 Samuel 2:30, NIV
“Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.’ But now the LORD declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained."
