The world, throughout the past, the present and also the future has and will continue to be, shaped and changed by revolutions. For the better and also for the worst.
The Church (body of Christ) as a whole need a revolution too. Not a natural one, but a spiritual revolution. A revolution of love, in which the church of God begin to rise up to be all that the Lord has created and called us to be. We're called to love one another and to love the world.
The bible says in the book of Romans (5:5), that Gods love is in us. "and hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us." and also in Galatians (5:22) the Word of God says that love is one of the fruits of the spirit. God's love is in us to be released into the world. We have the capacity to walk, talk and to live in a lifestyle of love towards the people around us. We may not feel like loving people because of the hurts and injustice we've experienced in the past or which we may be experiencing now. sometimes people can be unkind, insensitive, cruel and all kinds of things to us, but God in His word has commanded us to love others, even our enemies. What God has commanded, He has also given us the Grace to do. As we choose to depend on God and allow His Love to flow out of us, the world will begin to be reached for Christ. Be encouraged, for the Lord has enabled us to love the world with His love.
AMEN! Greatly encouraging post John :-)
