RULES OF LOVE 2

Good morning brethren , happy Sunday to you all.

Yesterday we started looking at the rules of love . We are commanded by the Lord to love one another . He that loves is born of God , but he that love not does not know God .

There are three categories of people you must love :

1. You are to love the Lord, thy God.

2. You should love yourself,

3. You should love your neighbours.

1. You should love the Lord your God with all your heart .

In Matthew.22:36-40

Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

We are commanded to love the Lord with all our heart , our soul and our strength .

If you love the Lord , you will keep His commandments . John.14:15: If ye love me, keep my commandments .

If you love the Lord , you will be glad to praise Him all the time . Psalms. 34:1 David said I will bless the Lord at all times , His praise shall continually be in my mouth .

2. Love yourself:

Some people do not love themselves because of what they do .

If you are not born again , it means you don't love yourself .

If you are still committing sin , it means you do not love yourself . Because those who are doing those things and die in it will spend eternity in hell fire. Gal.5:19-21:

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

3. Love your neighbours as yourself .

If you love your neighbours, you will not do evil to them , that is why in 1Cor.13:4-7 made know to us the true meaning of love .

If you love your neighbours, you will be willing to help him in time of need . 1John.3:17-18 says :

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

The grace to love God and our neighbours as ourselves , may the Lord give to us in Jesus Name.
