Happy Valentine's Day , may we learn what love is.
What is true love today ? Is love giving the wife a new car , house, jewelry or a great dinner.
Most men don't think of love when the wife is sick or ill , they become blind to true love.
True love is God. We must love first in order to love one another.
1 Corinthians 16:22
If any manlovenot the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
If we that are saved by believing the gospel is to be married to Christ Jesus as for example, then we should show true love for Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:2
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to onehusband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
If the man love the church, the body of Christ Jesus, then he should love the Wife the same way.
Ephesians 5:24-27
24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
This is God's true love for all of us.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
May God give us the strength to love one another in truth, truth is believing and sharing the gospel .
Ray, in Christ Jesus 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 the love of this gospel
Every time Valentine's Day comes around I remind myself that love in marriage is not about the gifts we give, nor the words professing our love for each on Valentine's Day (although these are always welcome). It is about the way we love each other every day as we walk in the love of our Lord who, in love, gave Himself for us. So the love in marriage is a love of sacrifice for the good of the other, the not seeking our own desires to be fulfilled, but to aid in the fulfillment of the desires of our spouse, the keeping the other's life and future unified with our own life and future, and working at becoming Christlike to one another as the Holy Spirit sanctifies us with His power and grace to grow to be more Christ-like from Glory to Glory. Our highest goal for one another should be for him/her to become all that God desires him/her to become.
My husband and I have been married 45 years now. Our life together has been a blessing and a gift from God. Our love for one another is growing and is being purified by God the longer we walk together with God. We have always believed that it was God who brought us together and we trust that He will bring us through to the end together. For us to not stay married until one of us is called home in Christ would be to deny what God has joined together as being good and best for us and a tearing apart of what God has joined together as opposition to His will for us. We choose His will and rejoice in how He brought us together and has kept us in union with Him this whole time.
May others know blessings in their marriage as we have received from God every day.
GiGi, thank you so much for your warm and loving words of love. I truly believe you love your husband with all your heart and I truly believe you love the Lord the same.
This I say is truly the truth, I once was a fake christian that tried to please man in every church and repented everyday for Salvation, but forgot about my wife. How my wife stuck with me all those years I have no idea. My wife showed me, she loved me so much, she was willing to fight and wait for the Lord to open my understanding of the word of truth. One day I was in my basement working on a project and heard a preacher talk about Saul of Tarsus and how he
persecuted the Jews for believing Jesus the resurrection. Listen to the preacher telling the story of Apostle Paul was like a bright light hitting me very hard. I was trying to find a preacher to preach marriage, but instead I learned the gospel of grace. I am not a perfect husband by no means, but through the help of God and the Holy Spirit, I can do what the Words say. I just want to spread the Gospel that Apostle Paul spread to the world for the love of Jesus Christ in God. The Love I have in me , I give to my wife and that is Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit.
God bless you and you're husband in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit in God.
