If God is only Love who will then judge? Can anyone judge with only Love. God is much more than Love, He is the way, TRUTH and life. God said this too:
Jeremiah 8:17 “ For behold, I will send serpents among you, Vipers which... cannot be charmed, And they shall bite you,” says the LORD.
Of course this is for the best, to repent, but still ´some maybe don´t feel it as Love in the moment of trial.
Do you know that it has been scientifically proven that our immune system is in contact with those around us, and Love heals but hate and ALL BAD behavior kills. So with hate and BAD BEHAVIOR we can shorten someones life and they will have less time to repent.

***The three types of love***
Before we can study LOVE we must first get to know the three Greek words that can be translated as "love":Erao
This word refers to love, mostly on a physical level, and it is the word from which "erotic" is derived. Even though it never appears in the New Testament, it is the word from which the name "Erastus" is derived; this name appears 3 times in the New Testament (Acts 19:22, Romans 16:23, 2 Timothy 4:20).
Phileo
This word refers to love, mostly on a soulish or emotional level, and it is the word from which we get "affiliation" in English. The Greek word for "kiss", philema, is also derived from it. This word, therefore, refers to affectionate, fraternal love born out of finding common elements with another person.
This verb appears 25 times in the New Testament. The reason for this is that 25 was the age when a Levite could "... go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation ..." (Numbers 8:24). The Hebrew word translated by the King James Version as "go in" in this verse is tsaba, which literally means, "to fight, to wage war". Numbers 8:24, therefore, should have been translated to say, "fight the service of the tabernacle". This means that you cannot become a spiritual warrior until you develop a deep phileo love for your brothers and sisters in the faith, a love that is not born out of social or cultural commonality, but rather out of the awareness that the same Spirit of God that is inside of you is also inside your brother and sister in the faith. It is this spiritual "affiliation" or "affinity" which should drive your love towards your brothers and which will lead you to wage spiritual warfare in order to see the manifestation of the potential of God in them.
Agapao
This word refers to love, mostly on a spiritual level. The noun form of this word, agape, is the word used in Greek in the famous "love chapter", 1 Corinthians chapter 13. This type of love implies a willingness to sacrifice oneself for the sake of another person. The verb agapao appears a whopping 146 times in the New Testament...
Just as the greatest demonstration of God’s love that there will ever be was the cross, those who live a true life of the cross, the life of sacrifice for the sake of the gospel and the people who need it, is the greatest of all demonstrations of true love...
Love is a weapon to defeat evil, love is the strongest force in universe, Love is high and wide, love is deep and everlasting.
'' three types of Love ''
The mind
This is the center of our thoughts and logic. Judgments are made through the moral laws and principles that are stored in our mind. It is through the mind that the soul perceives its surroundings.
The mind is the soul's eye or "gate" to the external world.
The emotions
This is the most predominant part of the soul. The heart many times "hears" through the emotions to discern what the mind cannot "see". The heart and the emotions, however, are not exactly the same, contrary to popular belief.
The heart
According to Ephesians 6:6, the heart is where our will resides. This is the part of the soul that makes decisions. Since Romans 10:10 declares that man believes with the heart, we can conclude that faith abides in the heart. Since Romans 10:17 declares that faith comes by hearing, we can conclude that the heart hears. Since John 6:63 declares that the Lord's words are Spirit, we can conclude that it is through the heart that we can hear the words of God and be connected to the Spirit.
The heart is the soul's ear or "gate" to the spirit realm.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 declares that our whole being is comprised of spirit, soul, and body. Combining all of the above, we could make the following abstract representation of man...
And I love Him, and I'm in love with God's people.. That's our nature.. Eph.3:17-19.."That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God'. That same love has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. This kind of love (agape) is deep. The world is yet to believe such love exists without being suspicious of you, but because we are loved beings, we display our godly nature always!!.
Love
Sometimes it takes long time to realize things. I think we are tested over and over again until we realize. If you are experiencing that the same problem comes back all the time it is probably one of those tests you have NOT passed.

BIBLICAL LOVE
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked,thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Love never fails.
(Joh 14:15,21, 23-24)
If you love Me, keep My commandments.
He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.
It can be confusing to say "All the time God is good" because it is NOT entire Truth. God is also the judge and how can you judge if you are good all the time. Those who will be judged will not feel that he is good all the time. To fear God is beginning to wisdom. Work on your salvation with fear and trembling.
ReplyDelete(Hosea 11:4)
ReplyDeleteI drew them with gentle cords, With bands of love, And I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. I stooped and fed them.
Do you feel peace?
ReplyDeleteCome to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
For you who think that God is only LOVE: Jeremiah 8:13-17
ReplyDeleteI will surely consume them,” says the Lord.
No grapes shall be on the vine, Nor figs on the fig tree,
And the leaf shall fade, And the things I have given them shall pass away from th...em. 14 “ Why do we sit still?
Assemble yourselves, And let us enter the fortified cities,
And let us be silent there. For the Lord our God has put us to silence And given us water of gall to drink, Because we have sinned against the Lord.
“ We looked for peace, but no good came, And for a time of health, and there was trouble! The snorting of His horses was heard from Dan. The whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of His strong ones, For they have come and devoured the land and all that is in it, The city and those who dwell in it.For behold, I WILL SEND SERPENTS among you, Vipers which cannot be charmed, And THEY SHALL BITE YOU, says the LORD.
To me it is to never forget to love Jesus and never forget to walk in covenant with God, and never put myself before my beloved. And wait for Him faithfully even if it is in jail or wilderness.
