. . .Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God (1 John 4:7).

Every day, our love-nature is tested by difficult people or circumstances that try to make us act contrary to who we really are. There’re times when out of fear, you may be tempted to lie against a friend as a means to escape trouble or punishment. That’s when you ought to be bold to walk in love, for that’s how to gain the victory. The Bible says,

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear” (1 John 4:18).

When you walk in love, you’ll see only the best in others because love is the purity of God. We all ought to only see the good in others, not because we’re naïve, but because love-power can change the bad. Walking in love is a high place in God, and you must be determined to walk in love always. If you’re born again, the love of God is already in you (Romans 5:5). That means you have the ability to love like God, but you have to make a choice to walk in love, for love is a choice – you choose to love!

God doesn’t make you love someone; He’s already put His love in your spirit and now it’s up to you to let it out. Learn to relate with people from God’s perspective. See them the way God sees them, and that’s the right way to live. If you walk in love, you won’t steal, slander or malign anyone.

Choose to love. Many haven’t realized it, but the solution to the many broken marriages, friendships and relationships is love. Even when others rebuff you as you try to reach out to them in love, don’t be discouraged. Love is the greatest power in the universe, and if applied correctly, will eventually melt the hardest heart.

Prove it with your life.

But does walking in LOVE mean compromising with false teaching ?

Not at all. You should  reject false teaching if you love Jesus . How can you be sure what you call false is false. Because your believe is Also seen as false by the bible standard  by another person too.

Thanks

How can you be sure what you call false is false.

^The subtlety of your craft manifests.

Christians can be sure because Jesus said so and He promised us the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit who will guide into all truth. What is false is false and can never be relative truth. The standard against which ALL doctrines stand or fail is the Bible. . .and there is no moral relativism therein.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

. . . . . and a pastor that walk in love will not 'milk' his/her congregation. I agree with Anita on this one. This is a 'must read' for pastors

I wish you will really get to know that holy spirit personally. He will make a vessel of honour out of you ,instead of the filth and hate you regularly vomit against Gods people.

Yes oh, am walking in love, for the love of God is shed abroad in my heart.

Nice one, God is love so it is best to work in love. Who is pastor Anita? I recently understood u are a pastor in CHrist embassy.
This is nice.

^Exposing your false and manipulative teachings is not filth and hate. And stop deceiving yourself that you have the Holy Spirit. . .for your fruits clearly reveal what you are.

Ok, the Pastors wife, nice.

Walking in love means doing acts of kindness consciously,whether you like the person or not and without expecting a pay back
