Love one another

 

 

 

 

Heavenly Father loved us first.

1 John 3:1 See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of Elohim! For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Because He showed us love, so shall we love one another.

 

1 John 3:11 Because this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another...

1 John 3:12 not as Cain who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. And for what did he kill him? Because his works were evil, but those of his brother were righteous.

We are taught now days that we live by faith only and not by works. But the truth is faith and works are together - by your fruit shall you know if you doing good or bad, for example Cain’s works were evil but Abel’s works were righteous.

1 John 3:13 So be not surprised, my brothers (fellow believers), if the world hates you.

 

John 17:14 “I have given them Your Word, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

Believers are in the world but not part of the world. I say not part of the world but we know and Father knows that we cannot be completely out of the world. Where we can and there are many ways, we do not need to be part of the world. We cannot use all sorts of excuses not to be part of the world because there is ways and we can if we really want too.

1 John 3:14-15 We know that we have passed from death to life because we love the brethren. The one not loving his brother remains in death. Everyone hating his brother is a murderer, and you know that every murderer does not have everlasting life abiding in him.

The commandments are a law of love and they teach us how to love Yahuah and how to love our neighbor as ourselves. Hate brings death but love brings forth life. Our brethren are the children of Elohim (fellow believers).

1 John 3:16 By this we have known His love toward us, because that One laid down His life for us; and on behalf of the brethren we ought to lay down ourlives.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Messiah laid His love before us, so too should we for our family and fellow believer.

1 John 3:17 But whoever has worldly possessions, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his mercy from him, how is the love of Elohim in him?

It is a basic tenet of the true faith to use the blessings that Yahuah has bestowed upon a believer to help those in need.

Give and support your family and then your fellow believer.

 

1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

We do not just say “We believe,” we say it, or hear it and do (works) it. So too is it when we say we love our brother and sisters, show it by doing it (works).

1 John 3:19-21 And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall persuade our hearts before Him, that if our heart condemns us, how much more then will Elohim, who is greater than our heart and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not accuse us, we have confidence with Elohim.
