Daily Walk Through the New Testament

November 13

Read Romans 12:9-13:14

The word love is such an overused word in our culture. We say we love the Lord, we love our families, we love football, we love our dogs and cats, we love to go fishing with worms, and we love pizza. We use the same word to describe our affection for God, our affection for sports, and our affection for food.
Real love is not a superficial emotion; it is an act of the will. We love those whom we choose to love. It is often sacrificial and is always Christlike. You are never more like Jesus than when you are loving.
Christian love is never passive, but active. It is not just something we say; it is something we do! It involves giving, praying, respecting, obeying, serving, and forgiving.
We are to manifest Christian love to our families, our neighbors, our leaders, and our brothers and sisters in Christ. Through love we keep the commandments, we honor the Lord, we bless the lives of others, and we even make life better for ourselves.
Love someone today in Jesus’ name!
