Do We Love One Another?

Today’s Feast Oct. 18, 2015 – Judges 20 Do We Love One Another? clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “27 Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!" Psalm 27:14, English Standard Version (ESV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue the Feast in Judges Chapter 20; “The tribe of Benjamin nearly extirpated. - The Israelites' abhorrence of the crime committed at Gibeah, and their resolution to punish the criminals, were right; but they formed their resolves with too much haste and self-confidence. The eternal ruin of souls will be worse, and more fearful, than these desolations of a tribe.” - Matthew Henry Concise. No matter what you enter into seek God’s will first. We see that when the Israelites acted in haste they all payed a price. “19 Then the people of Israel rose in the morning and encamped against Gibeah. 20 And the men of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin, and the men of Israel drew up the battle line against them at Gibeah. 21 The people of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and destroyed on that day 22,000 men of the Israelites.” Judges 20:19-21, ESV. I think that if they had consulted with God prior to declaring they were getting even, then they would have had victory from he start. “27 And the people of Israel inquired of the Lord (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, 28 and Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, ministered before it in those days), saying, “Shall we go out once more to battle against our brothers, the people of Benjamin, or shall we cease?” And the Lord said, “Go up, for tomorrow I will give them into your hand.”” Judges 20:27-28, ESV. God himself tells us that vengeance is his. He says if people will turn from their wicked ways and ask him he will heal their lands. “7 if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14, ESV. What about us, we call ourselves Christians, are we Gods people? Is there a way to tell the world we are God’s people? “34 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. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”” John 13:34-35, ESV. Saints if we truly love one another as Jesus loved us we will keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of the lamb, Jesus. Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will coe to get every Saint; “36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36, ESV. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to change anything. Click this link for more information; admenu.com/calling.htm .
