DON'T STUMBLE AROUND---TURN ON THE LIGHT !

DON'T STUMBLE AROUND---TURN ON THE LIGHT ! For this, Thou shall not commit adultery, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfillment of the law (Romans 13:9-10). The law of love is the one law of the New Covenant. The apostle James calls it "The Royal Law" of God's kingdom. Love is the law of the Spirit of life, and "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me and you free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2). "There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." The reason love and life are so closely connected is because God, the author and generator of all life, is Love. Since God is Love, the first few verses of (John 1) can actually be rephrased as follows: In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with Love, and The Word was Love. The same was in the beginning with Love. All things were made by Love; and without Love Was not anything made that was made (verses 1-3). Every cell of your physical body, every molecule in this physical material universe, every handful of dirt, every bird that flies, every fish in the sea and the sea itself--- all were made by Love's Word. Love created you. Love breathed life into you. Therefore, everything that is contrary to Love goes against your very substance. Every word of disharmony violates the way you were made. Unloving words, thoughts and actions do violence to the very nerds and cells in your physical body .(That's why Proverbs 14:30) describes envy as "the rottenness of the bones".) No wonder Jesus said that love is the greatest commandment ! No wonder He Made It a Command to Love The Lord thy God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and your neighbor as yourself !
