Co-existing in a society that has parasitized both our mind and especially our soul through its chameleon-style and outrageous, a world that cynically and accurately prescribes how to talk, smile or relate to each other , man fell prey to the cult of selfishness and social loneliness.
But looking carefully at the idea on which the Creator based his whole mentality, we remember that being a true Christian means above all the manifestation of love in the world, because this is basically the definition of God. Or more precisely, of the way in which His goodness is manifested.
‘Let us love one another, for love is from God.’ The Apostle John simply postulated; Then explaining what was behind this beautiful statement:
I quote: ‘He who does not love, has not known God, because God is love.’ (1 John 4: 7-8) I ended the quote.
Used in our culture often in a deficient way, the concept ‘Love’ comes from the Greek ‘Agapeo’, a term that rather describes ‘self-sacrifice’ (having as motivation in action unconditional love for others … for others).
An energy discharge that will most often remain unrecognized and unrewarded, even blamed by some of the direct beneficiaries of the ‘sacrifice’ paid so dearly!
Extending this idea to the spiritual level, we understand that to truly love one another is to follow the practical and compassionate example of our Creator; He who did not hesitate to sacrifice himself for all mankind, for those whom he loved and appreciated unconditionally.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 1 John 4:11.
Be blessed!
