The sixth
proof for true and genuine faith is selfless love.
The Wiki
dictionary says - selfless is: “too put
the welfare of others above your own” (http://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/selbstlos)
In
Wikipedia is explains love: “Is the term
for the strongest affection and esteem, which a human being to be able, to give
someone else. It is not necessary that this is reciprocated. It is a more
potent sentiment than a simple liking for another.” (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebe)
It thus
follows from these definitions, that for everyone who loves selflessly, is
first intent cares about the welfare of his fellow men and give his strongest
affection and esteem too his fellow. The selflessly loving needed no
reciprocate and certainly not he thinks of his own advantage.
Just this
love describes the apostle John in 1 John 2, 9: "Anyone who claims to
be in the light but hates his
brother is still in the darkness."
and also in the 1.John 3, 14: "We
know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in
death." And last but not least in 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."
The more I
think about these verses, the more I am amazed, that today there are many
people who argue, to be a Christian and to have the Holy Spirit; thereby
however treat their fellow badly, opinionated, quarrelsome, jealous, envious,
and insulting. Either, these people have no idea who their fellow man, or they
follow a false doctrine.
Anyone who
has in yourself the real and true faith must however know, that Jesus Christ
will never be accepted such persons!
Just today
in our computer age, abound on the platforms of social media very many people,
which claim, they are God's beloved children, but every posted contribution,
that does not fit into their worldview, to comment with abusive, inhumane and
worst accusations. But such comments are the best witness for somebody does not
know God. Because such comments lacks all that Jesus Christ ever taught about
patience, kindness, morality and charity. Many people obvious forgot the
theorem: - So, if you think you are
standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! –
We are now
in spite of the many Christian religions exactly in this situation, Jesus
Christ has warned us: The people are
heartless and the love is grown cold!
I think, it
is high time to let the false doctrines of humans behind us and to seek with
all of our strength, the authentic and truthful Jesus Christ. Therefore let us
finally to stop, thinking that the Bible must be interpreted. Let us also stop
to believe, the many of different interpretations from the Bible of the
Pharisees and scribes.
You think,
the Pharisees and scribes are extinct? But I tell you, they are not extinct,
they call themselves just different!
If you are
in relation to statements in the Bible a little bit unsure, then pray to God
and the Holy Spirit will teach you everything!
So, now you
can check yourself and think about, how you treat your fellow men. Are you so
far, that the welfare from your fellow man is for you much more important as
your own? Do not lose heart, still seeking more than ever before a fellowship
with God and his Son Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Remember, Jesus Christ gives us
salvation, but not at any price. Most certainly he will not redeem those which
show by their behaviour, that they do not want redemption. How should someone
who here and now loves himself most and seeks only to his advantage, in
eternity where the laws and commandments of God have validity, May suddenly
have community with the people in love?
I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise
your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name
for ever and ever. Great is the Lord and
most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend
your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. They will speak of
the glorious splendour of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful
works. They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim
your great deeds. They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing
of your righteousness. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger
and rich in love. The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has
made. All you have made will praise you, O Lord; your saints will extol you.
They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might, so that
all men may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendour of your
kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures
through all generations. The Lord is faithful to all his promises and loving
toward all he has made. The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all
who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food
at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living
thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made.
The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He
fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.
The Lord watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. My
mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every creature praise his holy name
for ever and ever. Amen
(Psalm
145,1-21)
