True Love covers a multitude of sins", it doesn't allow them, it doesn't accept them, it doesn't indulge in them, it covers them. As the Love of Christ did ours. He didn't allow, accept, or indulge, He covered and forgave. There is a big difference in what Christ did and what we do. No laws can legislate sins acceptance. Any and all sin whether "legal" by man or not is still sin. Love nor law can make them "legal" or acceptable during any period of time throughout creation. If any of the sins of the early creation could of been eliminated and called moral, righteous, or legal, than Christ would not have gone to the cross as time would of eradicated our "transgressing God's Word." Most people don't realize that the written Word (Scripture) was written so that there would be an eternal witness against those who would change right to wrong and wrong to right. "God changeth not." His Word changes not! We, His followers, should realize that it is us who make excuse for our "sin" not God changing in agreement with us. "Let God be true and all men liars." This is true no matter how you want to argue in favor of sin. We think that our opinion matters but it doesn't. God doesn't care for our opinion based on our maturity. He cares for and honors His Word, to the point that in due time it became flesh and dwelt among'st us as an irrefutable proof of His unchanging design. His Word "was and is" the perfect sacrifice for all man kinds sin as a propitiation once and for all. If we say we Love God and honor not His Word we lie. If we say we Love God and not our brothers we lie and know Him not. Nothing can take us from the Love of God. Nothing! What this says is that no matter what we do He will keep on Loving us, because God is Love. But that does not mean that our "sin" will not have consequences. Consequences are what God set in place as a blessing or curse depending on our decisions. Make right decisions and gain blessings, make wrong ones and gain gentle correction that leads to repentance. God would have "None" to perish but all to have eternal life. That means sinners and saved. All means all. "God would have" shows us His will in the matter of redemption by the blood of Christ. All means that "none should perish", everyone is included in this "Free Offer." Those who know Christ as their Savior and continue in sin, knowingly, are on the path of consequence that will not be profitable. But be convinced of this: He will never leave the one lost sheep to his own destruction, He will find him and bring him back into the fold. He was the original "none left behind" force. He cannot fail. He will not fail with those called His own. Named by His name. Created for His purpose. Who Is created for His purpose? All were created for His purpose. What is "His purpose"? Glorifying His Father in Heaven.
What are His called's purpose? Glorifying our Father in Heaven.
How do we do that?
With Love........Unconditional Love.
As we have received so we should give.
And who has not received the Love of the Father?
All have received, but only "believers" can give back.
"For the Love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit."
Only the believer has the Love of God shed abroad in their hearts. Both back to God and back to all mankind.
Love covers.
Do you have Love? (Capital L in Love because it's Gods Love, not mans love.)
Does your Love cover?
Or is there someone or something that is the fault present when you take your offering before the alter?
Worship is an offering! Love forgives so that the offering of worship can be lifted up. If you have "ought" against your brother you might not be able to worship as you are intended to. Do you make excuse about how you worship? Maybe it's the "ought" that's holding you back?
Maybe it's your love (small l) and not the Love (capital L) that you make excuse for?
If you desire a real sense of worship and the "moral" freedom to express it, maybe you should look hard into your heart about the "ought" that might be holding it back. The ought is sin and sin is the lie that says "you can't worship because.............".
The Truth will set you free, (capital T God's Truth), not small t (mans idea of truth).
Little Children I would that you would Love one another.........and be set free in your spirit to worship in the Spirit.
God bless and keep.
Love
