Walk in love because God is Love!! And Baptism!!

  Walk in love because God is Love!!


1 Corinthians 13:13:

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."


1 John 4:7:

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God."


1 John 4:16:

"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them."


As a born again believer you must walk in love because God is love!! Love is kind, patient, gentle.  The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  There is no fear, hatred, jealousy in love!!  Love always protects, trusts, hopes, perseveres! Love is not selfish.  We are not here on earth to live for ourselves but to help others in need, to bless them.  We must walk in love as Christ loved us.  He gave up His life for me and you, so we also must give up our lifes for each other!!  The greatest command is to love God with everything in you and the second greatest command is love your neighbour as yourself!! We don not belong to this world so we don't love the worldly things. We belong to the Kingdom of God now, so we love the heavenly things and we will obey Jesus's command "love each other as I have loved you"!! 


Baptism!!


Matthew 28:19:

"Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."


Acts 2:38:

"And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."


It is very important when you repent and you gave your life to Jesus, to be baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Jesus commanded us to go and make disciples, and baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Not as a baby but as a adult.  Babies cannot repent.  You enter the water as a old person with sin, when you came out of the water you are a new person.  Your sin has been washed away.  You are a new creation now.  You are no longer called a sinner but a son/daughter of God!! When you are a born again, you will obey Jesus's commands at all times!! After baptizing you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.....Speaking in tongues!! It is a powerful spiritual weapon against the devil!! Be baptized!!
