Truth Exposed: Love
1 John 3:14 enlightens us as to whether we are really True Believers or not. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 tells us it doesn’t matter one bit if we speak in tongues, speak prophesies, or give to the poor, if we do not have the love of Christ in our hearts, then we don’t have Jesus, therefore we are not saved, and we can’t be saved without him. That’s hard!!!! That’s the reality of scripture. No sugar coating. The first fruit of the spirit in Gal 5:22 is love, all the rest of the fruit grows out of the love of Christ in us. Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote the poem “How do I love thee.” Read it now but read it to Jesus. poets.org/poem/how-do-i-love-thee-sonnet-43. It sounds like something King David might have written.
Read carefully.
Ask questions.
Know your scriptures.
