2 John 6
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
I don't like conflict. I dislike how politicians and news media personnel apparently think that the more conflict they create, the better. I wish there was a way for people to try to find some common ground and maybe begin to care more about similarities than differences. I know that is probably a pipe dream but I would like to see it.
Based upon this scripture it seems that Christians must be the ones to spread love and kindness. We are to walk in God's commandments and do what we have been instructed to do. We know He only gives us 2 things we really have to do--love Him and love our neighbor.
The Greek word used here is "agape" which not only means love but refers to the selfish type of love that Jesus has for us. We are to be examples of Jesus' love. This is not just love in words but love in action also. We are to walk in God's love and walk in obedience to God's commandments. We must have a relationship with God to be able to love this way and to honor His commandments.
As we go through the day, let us keep our focus on Jesus and loving as He loves.
