'For thus is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another'
(1John 3:11).
The message we heard from the beginning is love - the love of Jesus. Jesus demonstration his love on the cross for all humanity. In Matthew 13:34-35 Jesus said, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love one another.' As believers we are expected to act on love, not just feel it, and be selfless as Christ was. We need to understand that love is foundational to the gospel, its about sharing the love of Christ with others. In order to share the message of love with others we need to be connected to Christ, who is love.

Let us not be jealous and envious of each other, but show the love of God through Christ Jesus. We must try to emulate God and be like Him, which means loving others. God is love and His standard and His principles have not change. He is the same God yesterday, today and forever more. Remember it is God who showed us His love, by sending His Son to die for us. Jesus showed us his love by giving His life for us. We must love Him and others is the message.

We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...
