God came in love, not hate


Christ did not come
to destroy life

God did not send
His Son to live among us
to promote evil and hatred

Christ did come to destroy sin

God did send His Son
to live among us
to become the means
through which the living being
can and would be saved
from eternal condemnation
to eternal life

Christ came in love.
We, as His followers
align ourselves with Him

We receive instructions
for daily living
through His word.

We strive to live and walk
in love toward all, as Christ

We do not promote sin

Since God’s Holy Word says
the unrighteous will not inherit
the Kingdom of God,
we , His followers
strive to show another the error
of pursuing that which comes against
your body.
Not because of hate.
But out of love.

Love for every one
Hate for the sin
Hate for the action taken

The act,  The sin
 of 
pride
of self-centeredness
of malice
of extortion
of idolatry
of drunkenness
of envy
of lustful pleasure
of adultery
of homosexuality
of temptation
of jealousy
of impure thoughts
of hostility
of continuous outbursts of anger
of participation in demonic activities
are but a few.

Following the desires of your sinful nature
is a guarantee you will not inherit the
Kingdom of God.

However,
If
we have turned away from these things
and turned to God
If
we have been called to live in freedom -
freedom to serve one another in love
If
we live according to our new life in Him
to The Holy Spirit’s leading
in every part of our lives
  
we will produce
love
joy
peace
patience
kindness
goodness
faithfulness
gentleness
self-control.

Only one wrong,
one unrighteous person
is enough to infect
all the others
and come against
one who stands with Christ

If we, who abide in Christ,
 stand together united,
perhaps it will be evident
and you will see
God’s plan for you
in how we live and walk.
