Christian Love
I was pondering "Christian Love" over the past few weeks. With controversial comments by other Evangelical leaders, I wondered what Christ would say.
What is love? "Love your God" and "Love your neighbor" is a directive, but what does that really mean?
I have defined Love your God as an individual relationship with Christ. Meditating, seeking His face, and putting forth effort to understand His call in your life today.
I have defined Love your Neighbor as your corporate journey. The relationships you have with both believers and non-believers. Christ demonstrated this journey with his disciples and the "sinners." Christ calls us to develop relationships to understand the needs around us and begin to fulfill them in His name. Not to increase our church numbers, but to increase our own personal love supply.
