Showing LOVE

[William H.]

LOVE/Let us keep in mind this is the most important quality (1 Peter 4:8)! This trait should be used with all other traits (1 Cor.13). Some have a hard time understanding how one can use rebuke with love. (i suggest the rebuke blog for the Documentation)! Christians are concerned for all. We are called to Grow in faith. Faith without fruits is dead (Jas.2:17, 20, 26; Heb.6:1 "move unto perfection"). 

* The Fear (reverence) of the Lord is the Beginning - Psalm 111:10 / Proverbs 1:7 / Proverbs 9:10/ 1 Sam.12:24/ In Covenant, This ("fear") matures into LOVE and an individual relationship with YHVH. Evidence:
* 1st John 4:18- There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

(One with G-D makes a majority! “Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself” -FDR)

2 Tim.1:7 - For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a soundmind.  
____________

Deut.6:2That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

("fear" here is translated from  ירא yare H#3372- Revere, (reverance- fear and love/ respect),  fear. (to honor)

Deut.6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 

1st John 4:16(:7-21)-And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 

Note: Pro. 1:7 & Job 28:28 (H#3374),.....-Fear taken back to original context would be to reverence.Deut.10:12( fear, to bow, to LOVE, to worship, To hold up above, to hold in high reguard)Jn.14:15/1st John5:3


Instruments of light that walk in covenant never to condem another-As to say they have no hope of salvation-As to which the term fool means in Matt.5:22!We are to spread the message of salvation. Love overcomes all. His love forgives us of sin!


Rev. 3:19-As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Luke 6:27-38=Matt. 7:43-48/Rom.12:20&21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. /Matt.19:19/Eph. 6:21-24

Let us remember our methods of spreading the word can draw others to it or push them away (Matt.10:16)! Matt.5:44 

*1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.:)

* Anyone who shows Love to another has some understanding of what it is to be an instrument of God and apart of the oneness (Elohim). However one needs to Embrace YHVH and his mercy above all things. If you dont embrace the Passover sacrifice you are embraceing death. 
* John 3:16 (King James Version)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

* 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
1 Cor.3:16
All love comes from God, that doesn't take away from those who love us but rather adds to them!

* Deut.6:4-5 God is The Heart Knower- Acts 1:24, Ps.44:21, Proverbs 17:3, Acts 15:8, 1 Samuel 16:7, 1 Chron.29:17, 1 Chron.28:9, Luke 16:15-17, Ps.139:1-4, Heb.4:12, Mk.2:6-8, Matt.9:4, Lk. 6:45, Rev.2:23, 1 Cor.4:5, Proverbs 4:23, Rom.2:16, Is. 44:18, Deut.8:2, Deut.13:3, 1 Kings 8:39, Ps.17:3, Proverbs12:20, Ps.7:9-10, Dan.2:30, Ps.139:23, 2 Chron.6:30, Proverbs 12:23, Lk. 16:15, Rom. 2:16, Proverbs 23:7, Rom. 8:27 




God wants our Love (Praise) / a personal relationship more than any thing else we could offer or achieve. Prov.21:3, 1 Sam.15:22, Hos.6:6,14:2; Is.1:11, Col.3:14, 1 Cor.13, 1 Pet.4:8, Deut.6:5 & Mk 12:30

*Rev.4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. (Rom.12:1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service

Jer.9:23-24 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

Circumcision is of the heart. Rom. 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God./ Deut.10:16;30:6/ Jer.4:4/ Rom.2:25-29/ Jer.17:9-10/ Matt.5:8/ Jas.4:8 / Acts 2:37/ Col.2:10-11/ Jer. 31:33/ Jer.24:7/ 2 Cor.3:2/ Eph.3:17/ Eze.11:19

Beautiful Psalm 51:10,11,12,13,14,15

1 John 3:14 (King James Version) 14We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth IN DEATH.

Eph.4:31-32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. (Rom.2:4-8) Lk.6:45

Proverbs 15:14
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledgeledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

1 John 3:20
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things

Your good deeds are heavenly clothing. Only thing we can take with us are our good deeds. 

Psalm 132:9

Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

Revelation 19:8

And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints

Rev.6:11

King David 

“Have I repaid those who have done evil to me? Behold, I have rescued those who hated me without cause”

Nachman on spiritual discernment

“You have to judge every person generously. Even if you have reason to think that person is completely wicked, it's your job to look hard and seek out some bit of goodness, someplace in that person where he is not evil. When you find that bit of goodness, and judge that person that way, you really may raise her up to goodness. Treating people this way allows them to be restored, to come to teshuvah.

”This is why the Psalmist said, "Just a little bit more and there will be no wicked one; you will look at his place and he will not be there." (Psalms 37:10.) He tells us to judge one and all so generously, so much on the good side, even if we think they're sinful as can be. By looking for that "little bit," the place however small within them where there is no sin (and everyone, after all, has such a place) and by telling them, showing them, that that's who they are we can help them change their lives.

Even the person you think (and he agrees!) is completely rotten -- how is it possible that at some point in his life he has not done some good deed, some mitzvah? Your job is to look for it, to seek it out, and then to judge him that way. Then indeed you will "look at his place" and find that the wicked one is no longer there -- not because she has died or disappeared -- but because, with your help, she will no longer be where you first saw her. By seeking out that bit of goodness you allowed teshuvah to take its course.

So now, my clever friend, now that you know how to treat the wicked and find some bit of good in them -- now go do it for yourself as well! You know what I have taught you: "Take great care: be happy always! Stay far, far away from sadness and depression." I've said it to you more than once. I know what happens when you start examining yourself. "No goodness at all," you find. "Just full of sin." Watch out for Old Man Gloom, my friend, the one who wants to push you down. This is one of his best tricks. That's why I said: "Now go do it for yourself as well." You too must have done some good for someone sometime. Now go look for it!“ -  https://velveteenrabbi.blogs.com/blog/2015/09/seeking-out-the-bit-o...

Hosea 2:18 in Tanakh-  "And it shall come to pass on that day, says the Lord, you shall call [Me] Ishi, and you shall no longer call Me Baali." (2:16 in English KJV).

Rashi commentary- You should worship me out of love and not out of fear. Ishi is an expression of marriage and the love of one's youth. Baali an expression of mastership and fear. (Pesachim 87a/ Kethuboth 71b) Baali explained to mean like a wife in her father in laws house rather than in her fathers house. (same lesson documented in the beginning of blog)

Prov.8:17 (Tanakh) "I will love those who love me, and those who seek me eagerly will find me." /Rashi: "will find me": Heb. ימצאנני. There is an extra “nun,” denoting fifty. I will allow him to find the fifty gates of understanding. As stated by "Rabbi" Aaron in the name of "Rabbi" Nathan./ Love me relates back to his righteousness (which is Torah)./ Shavuoth- Pentecost (50 days following Passover/ counting the omer)

(KJV) "I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me."

Jas 4:11  Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge
