And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed – Romans 13:11 The Apostle Paul was instructing the saints to love everyone. Jesus poured out His love on us, and we in return should pour our love toward others without having partiality. Too many times as Christians we choose who we will express our love towards, when we should be expressing our love towards everyone as Jesus did for us. As Christians, we must obey the law of love, which supersedes both religious and civil law. As Christians we cannot condone sin in ourselves as well as others, but we don’t attack them verbally by abusing them with words or our actions. Love will draw others towards our Christian belief whereas words of offense will cause one to hate our God as well as our beliefs. We all were once sinners, but God didn’t draw us with harsh words or harmful actions towards us, but He drew us with His love, and as children of God, we should be drawing others with love and compassion. We can express God’s love and His written Word by our actions in our lifestyle. God is looking for vessels that will yield themselves to His Word and His Spirit. God’s love is genuine, and if He’s really residing in our being, our love will be genuine towards all of God’s creation. Love destroys hatred, love will influence a unbeliever to open their hearts to God’s invitation of salvation. Love forgives, and love will be committed to pray for the unbeliever, religious, and the hypocrite until Christ be formed in them.

Temple of Worship
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land – 2nd Chronicles 7:12.
Solomon had finished building the Temple, and he was dedicating the Temple to God. To dedicate something is to set apart a place, object, or person for an exclusive purpose. The purpose of dedicating the Temple was to be a place of worship. The Temple was a holy place where the Spirit of the Living God reside. Solomon prayed to God for provisions for the people when they had sinned. God answered Solomon with four conditions for forgiveness (1) humble themselves by admitting to their sins. (2) pray to God, asking for forgiveness, (3) seek God continually, (4) turn from sinful behavior Read More

Receive the Holy Spirit
But this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified (John 7:39). The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a gift from the Father to the believer to enable them to live a successful Christian life. One of God’s purposes since the beginning has been to dwell with humanity. He walked and talked with Adam in the Garden of Eden, and after the fall of Adam and Eve, it has been God’s desire to fellowship with His creation. The Holy Spirit is a gift from the Father, it’s nothing we can earn, but a gift we can receive. The Holy Spirit’s indwelling will motivate the believer to be careful not to harm his body nor indulge his body in sin. It assists the individual to produce fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. The gifts of the Spirit are productive when operated by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is how we communicate with God in prayer as well as building up our faith by praying in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is something every believer needs, its not by denomination, but who desires to receive the Spirit of the Living God.
