Seow Ting: Loving People

John 3:16

" For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. "

God do not only love people who believed in Him, but God too loved the world. He loves everyone the same, and this is why He gave His only begotten son for the world, and not only for believers.

Matthew 22:39

" And the second is like it: ' You shall love your neighbour as yourself. ' "

The first commandment is to love God wholeheartedly, and the second is to love people around you the same as you love yourself.

As a christian, why is it so important to love people?

1) Because it is the character of Jesus. (We represent God)

At the start when we accept Christ, when we receive the Holy Spirit, Jesus lives in us.

And the lost in the world, they build their impressions of Jesus by looking at christians around them, and this is why it is important to love people, because we represent Jesus, and Jesus loves them.

2) Because the lost needs Jesus.

1 corinthians 13:13

" And now abide faith, hope, love, these three ; but the greatest if these is love."

Everyone needs love, no one will reject love. And the world needs God's love, because the love of God is neither an embracing love, nor a pampering love, never a biased love, but God's love is an unconditional perfect love.

3) Because we are to be a blessing to the world.

When we love people, when we accept them, we are spreading God's love into their heart. Who will don't want someone to love them truly?

Many people love because they themselves can gain benefits. And this is not true love. When we truly love someone, we love him/her without expecting he/she to love us back. We bless the people around us by loving them, by cherishing them, by letting them know that they are worthy, that Jesus loves them with an unconditional love.

When we love people, we should never do selective loving. We should love everyone the same, because God loves everyone the same, and everyone deserves the same amount of love.

SO, LETS LOVE PEOPLE MORE!
