What one idea could heal the planet?
How will people know you?
What is it that sets a Grace believer apart from a legalist believer?
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”- John 13: 34-35
There is a spirit that flows from the very heart and soul of a true Grace based believer. This spirit overflows at times and that blesses the world. Everyone knows a Grace based believer based on this spirit.
That spirit is Love- pure, nonjudgmental, total accepting Love from Above that goes beyond any human concept of love that we can ever explain.
People will not know that you are of God by your ability to shout, argue, coerce or explain. Your brain power, sense of self and sense of self-righteousness only cause the seeds of Love to be thrown on hard ground.
But the “new commandment” is not like the old. Why? Because you can’t “do” it!
Only the Spirit can “be” it through you and that is only when you accept Christ by Grace, through faith!
This Love is not about doing it’s about a Being that is greater than me and you and everyone on the planet put together- This is the stuff that changes lives, countries and even the entire planet if we ever caught on to it.
Why?
Because if I loved you like He loved me all the problems on this planet would be solved the moment that type of Love was realized.
Here is a meditation for you. Find a time and a place where you probably won’t be disturbed. Take several deep breaths and just let, see if you can spot tight spots in your body and just let go of them. As you do that just breathe normally and feel your breath as you do. The stomach rising or in the nostril just feel it and:
Breathe in and say
“As He Loved me”
Breathe out and say
“Love others”
Practice this for about 10 or 15 minutes and keep this verse in your head throughout the day.
Loving others comes naturally to a grace based believer. It’s not hard anymore!
Amen Ptiti – you are so right because a Grace based person has accepted they can do nothing and have done nothing to impress God. A Grace based person sees all people as the same – in need of One Thing!
