FRUIT OF LOVE

The fruit of love  demonstrates God's love to mankind.  All we are sinners  and we do not deserve God’s presence. He loves us  first.  "... He first loved us." 1John 4:19.  That's why he gave his son Jesus Christ to come to earth so that through him  everyone can be saved and have eternal life. "God .... so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that   whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent the Son into the world not to condemn the world; but that the world might be saved through him". John 3: 16-17.

For the love of God to us is  free, again by His grace, He sent His Son Jesus to make  reconciliation between man and God. "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". 1John 4: 10. Because God loves us, we must love each other, and then the love of God  is perfected and abides in us. "Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No man hath seen God at  any time. If we love each other God dwelleth in us, and his love has been perfected in us .... God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him". 1 John 4: 11-12, 16.

How  to live  in God’s love:
1. To be obedience to God's law.
"By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments". 1John 5: 2. at At the end,  love will not be condemned.  "Herein is love perfected with us, so that we have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, and what we are in this world, there is no fear in love; but what is perfect love cast out fear, because fear has punishment, and whoever fears is not made ​​perfect in love". 1John 4: 17-18.

It is impossible to love God unless we love one another. "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have is from Him, That he who loveth God love his brother". 1John 4: 20-21.

2. To love our enemies and those who persecute us.
"... Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you; that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven ... Therefore you shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. "Matthew 5: 44-45,48.

 To  love  the world and its affairs.
The love of the world is when a person can desire  whatever he  saw, for example, when he  see the new version of phone, shoes, clothes, or anything. It is important    someone to  plan to focus on the needs of the key things in your life, this  is pleasing  God. "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, love of the Father is not in him. For all that is the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but from the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides forever". 1John 2: 15-17. “This is godliness with contentment  great gain. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and desires many foolish and hurtful that plunge men into ruin and destruction". 1Timothy 6: 6,8,9.

HEALING OF DISEASES.

The source of the disease. Diseases are caused by sin. That is why when Jesus healed a sick man he warned him saying, "... See you are well; Sin no more, lest a worse thing may happen to you!" John 5:14. If a person has sinned and got sick, when  he go for check up  the disease will be visible. When  he do  a check up and   disease is invisible  probably demons had entered to him. "Then goeth he, and taketh with himself,and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of of that man is worse than the the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation”. Matthew 12:45. Sometimes not every person who is sick has sinned, but  the result of a disease in the body is caused by missing nutritious daily meal (lack of balance diet). Some  the wickedness in the human body can also be due to God's purpose even  though not all of it. "The Lord said to him, who has made ​​man's mouth? Or who causes the person to be dumb, or d...

"People should obey the past, God's patience while waiting in the days of Noah, while the ark was made; wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved in the water". 1Peter 3:20. Those who did not repent were destro...
