“Love Is The Only Uniting Force”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 133

It was through Love that God united Himself with the believer.

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.”

It is through the Love of God that believers unite one with another.

1 John 4:7-12 “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. [8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. [9] In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. [10] Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. [11] Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. [12] No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.”

Love is the First and Last commandment.

Matthew 22:36-40 “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? [37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

Love is the greatest force. There is no greater force when an individual is united with God (Love).
There is no greater force when individuals unite with one another in Love (God).

1 Corinthians 13:4-7,13 “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant [5] or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; [6] it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. [7] Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. [13] So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

There is no unity without Love.

The Psalmist writes about the unity of brethren.

Let’s read:

Psalm 133:1-2 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! [2] It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;”

It’s the unity of Love. This is the Love of God flowing vertically to men and women , and the Love flowing horizontally to and from one another.

There is no greater force to unite a family, nation or world.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 133:3 “As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.”

Love is the commanded blessing.

Jesus saved us to bring salvation to others.
Jesus healed us to bring healing to others.
Jesus provided for us to bring provisions to others.
Jesus Loved us to bring Love to others.

Love is the Law of God.
Love is the Power of God.

Let the Love of God flow through you to the world. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Love of God as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. God is Love and Love is God, in Christ!
