We need to have one thing in common, before we can have all things in common.
This World is Looking for the Genuine Love of God
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Acts 2:42-47
We Jesus saved us He separated us from sin, broke the power of darkness over our lives, and translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. We are now living in the
First to love and care about God more than anything in this world, more that we love our own lives. He becomes first, He become all, and is everything in your life. Nothing can compare to the love and beauty of our Lord Jesus Christ and His gift of salvation for our lives.
Next we learn about the importance of fellowship with one another. We learned that the greatest commandment is the Love the Lord your God. Next we learn to love your neighbor as yourself. We need to put others first, if we care and help others. Then we know that God will take care of the things that we have need of. It is not us taking care of ourselves first, that finding time to help and be a blessing to others.
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 1John 1:3,4
The world is looking for the genuine love of God. They want to see it and taste it in the world we live in. They do not want to wait till they get into the next world. The early Church had the goods, they knew what it was like to be real Christians, real followers of Jesus Christ. Not followers that were serving self first. But giving themselves whole heartedly to the Lord, and caring, sharing and loving others with all their might and strength. And doing this service and caring as unto the Lord. They were acting in genuine love for one another. They wanted to express their love for God and wanted everyone to get a piece of God. Wanted everyone to have a taste of God, taste of His love for me. Taste and see that the Lord is good.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. John 15:16,17
Jesus said that the world would come to know God, as we came together and loved one another. Then the world and its people would know that God is real. God is really in this place. This is the habitation of Almighty God, He is dwelling in the midst of these people. I know and have experienced God that he is here and that He loves me. For I fell his love through the fellowship, through your conversation. Through your thoughtfulness, through your loving ways. I know that it is God who is touching my life through you. I sense that the words that I am hearing, are the words of God, but He is speaking them to me through you, through your lips I hear the voice and love of God.
I know that through my experience and fellowship with the group of men and women here that my life will never be the same. I can honestly say that I have experience God in this place. And some way, some how through this experience and time of fellowship, I realize that God and His love is not just out there some where. But through this time of fellowship, His love and his life have come into my heart and I know that I am a different person. I know that God is real and that He is with me, and that He loves me there is nothing in this world that can compare to experiencing the love of God for yourself.
Come to know God and experience His embrace and know that you know that he really loves you and will do everything that He can to have your realize. It is really Him that is reaching out to touch you, save you, make you his very own child. That He loves you more than anything else in this world. He loves you and promises that He will never leave you. And He is faithful to His Word. His promise to you is true.
