EXCEL IN LOVE

The bible emphasizes that we should excel in love for each other .1 Thessalonians 4:9,  1 John 4:11. We should seek for the best of each other just like Christ did, showing us to be His true followers. John 13: 34-35

Showing unselfish concern for your brothers & sisters, that means your love should be genuine not with hidden agenda just like God loved us genuinely to give us His son to take the penalty of sin on our behave. This should be the same kind of love we ought to operate in.

Love makes you willing to forgive many sins. It doesn’t matter what wrong one has done, love has the power to forgive and move on without holding grudges. I know this could be a bit puzzling, but it is very much possible if we reflect on the God kind of love that He extended to us; sacrificing His son on the cross and by him we obtain external salvation. This means we don’t have to hold on to our past mistakes. Christ atonement on the cross already took care of that. It was once and for all and He doesn’t hold any iniquities against us. It is our responsibility to accept His sacrifice and great love and extend it to others.

Acts 4:32-35, shows us a great example of how we can excel in love. The believers were of one heart and soul. There were no needy persons in their midst.  Everything in their possession was common property for them all.
