Real love, God's love, heavens kind of love which is the real guiding mark of true love is self sacrificing love. This is not the only way God's perfect love is expressed but it is the greatest expression of heavens greater love.
The world's love (Matthew 5:43-48 & Luke 6:27-36) is basically based on the interest of one's own self. How does this or that advantage me, or what is it in for me if i do this or give that.
One day Jesus was talking to some religious men that seemed to always have something negative to say about Jesus and what Jesus was saying and doing. Jesus who reads all of our hearts knew that those who opposed him, they were outwardly very religious appearing but on the inside a great emptiness he could see (They were missing something).
He said to those opposing people the words that reveals and separates what is of heaven from what is of hell, and what is of God from what is of this world. Jesus said to them, Though you honor each other and pat each other on the back and are searchers of the scriptures,THIS I AM SURE OF, Gods love is not in your hearts (John 5:39-47). Now they had a love in their heart BUT IT WAS NOT GOD'S LOVE., It was self love not sacrificing love. They only showed love to those that advantaged them or could exalt them, or when it could bring back to them favor or pleasures of some kind from the same. Self denying, discomforting sacrificing love was far from them NOT EVEN IN THEM according to Jesus the heart analizer. They loaded people down with religious bundles but would not help them carry the load. It was to discomforting. To bothering. Not to self advantage. To costly. To time consuming. It would interfere with their plans and day's agenda and personal life goals and comforts to help others with their burdens. And to bless and to do good to their enemies that caused them grief and pain, NO WAY, not in a thousand lifetimes of living.
The bible reveals to us in Romans 5:5-10 & Gal 2:20, that Christ loved us and gave himself sacrificially every day for others. Every day Jesus was really denying himself, giving himself, and taking up his cross daily living for God and for the good of others, even for the good of his enemies that opposed him. Seldom did he live unto himself (He practiced what he preached. Jesus was the real Love of God. His love for sinners, even for His enemies shocked Israel's elders and even shocks the world).
Then after all those day unto day living sacrifices of himself, Jesus revealed to all the world the real measure of God's greater love. He went to the DISCOMFORTING CROSS to lay down his life for the sin of the world. To bear our burden, to save us, and to take the burden of the weight of our sins and of the Law off our backs, even off the backs of those that drove the nails.
Jesus did not sacrifice himself so painfully to destroy others as evil beast do today. Jesus sacrificed himself so painfully for the good of people to save them. Paul wrote that this is the revelation that reveals the difference between God's love and the world's natural love which is the love from evil. Yes there is love that is of God as Jesus said (John 5:42), and there is the love that is of this world and of evil (Matthew 7:11). He said God's great love is revealed in that Christ died, Christ sacrificed himself for the ungodly, THE UNDESERVING, even for the blessing and salvation of his enemies that only pained him and discomforted his life. RIGHT THERE IS THE LIGHT OF THE BIG DIFFERENCE between Christ love (GOD'S LOVE) verses this world's evil love.
God's love, the love of Christ heart is not limited to self advantages, but will do the same for it's enemies even as it does for its friends. Christ died to save and interceded for his friends and Christ died for his enemies, to save and to intercede for those that crucified him..
Jesus said one day as he was speaking on God's love, he said, If you do good to only those who love you, (Like to your family, to your friends and to those who can advantage you) he said there is no reward from God in that, everyone in the world does that. But he that does good and makes discomforting sacrifices for his enemies and strangers to bless and to do good to them (NOT TO DESTROY THEM), will have reward from God.
God sees and Gods more greater rewards come from the discomforting sacrifices we make that saves and blesses others, especially those we do for our personal enemies that use us, crucify us, that abuse and persecute us.
All the world loves and praises and does good to its own and to those who can advantage us and give us pleasure. God's love goes way beyond that and even loves, and does good and blesses its own enemies and makes discomforting sacrifices for even the most undeserving people day unto day. The evil spirit of the heart of this world's love mocks, gossips, condemns, speaks evil of, gripes, complains, throws stones at, accuses, and wishes ill will towards those people.
Jesus knew that in those (RELIGIOUS PEOPLE) who fought against His Words and Light daily, he knew that they had only the natural self advantaging love of this world and of evil beings in them and not the Love of God (John 5:42.
Let's read intently (Matt 7:l1 & Luke 6:27-36). Here is the light of those revealing verses of scripture combined and simply put...Jesus revealed....Evil beings KNOW HOW to DO GOOD to their own and to those that can return to them favor and EVIL BEINGS know how to GIVE GOOD THINGS TO THEIR CHILDREN).
......All the world Jesus said does that...In saying those words Jesus revealed a startling revelation that this world of Evil Beings and of Evil creatures have their own type of love AND THEIR OWN TYPE OF GOODNESS and THAT EVIL BEINGS, THEIR LOVE EVEN KNOWS HOW TO DO GOOD (Matt 7:11). But none of it is of God and that it is not the love of God (John 5:42), it is EVIL'S LOVE (Satanic Love)
.......Evil itself has a certain type of love and evil loves its own and knows how to do good and to give good to its own. THATS WAS and IS THE HUGE REVELATION POINT that Jesus was revealing to the world AS A WARNING and as a WAKE UP CALL to His people. In that revelation Jesus warns us and was revealing that Evil has a love, Evil has a goodness, and Evil even knows how to give good things to its own. Evil even falls in love with its own, marries and raises children BUT IT IS STILL NOT GOD'S KIND OF SACRIFICING LOVE, who does for its enemies the same as it does for its family and friends..Right there is the DIVIDING DISTINGUISHING MARK and THE BIG MAJOR DIFFERENCE.
CHRIST made personal self discomforting LIVING SACRIFICES every day for the good and blessing of others, even to those who were his opposers, persecutors, and to his enemies. The scriptures say....Christ sacrificed himself to save and to bless his people, his friends and even for his enemies, the ungodly and the undeserving (Rom 5:5-10 & Gal 2:20 & John 15:12-14).
THIS IS THE IMPORTANT POINT OF THIS WHOLE LIGHT....Here it is.....It's the kind of love in us (IN OUR HEART) that reveals if GODS IS REALLY IN US or not. The normal natural love of this world's heart and of the world, Jesus said is evil. The world's natural kind of love is not GOD'S LOVE. The Kind of love in our heart is the mark of what and who is living within us, not the knowledge and the quoting of the scriptures as Jesus' religious appearing enemies could do greatly. (Matt 7:11 & st John 3:14-18)).....Lord open our eyes......deno......share freely.
