Walk In Love (Daily Devotional)

Hello friends, such a joy to be back together with you, studying God’s word. We are talking about the aspects from scripture that will empower us, strengthen us to walk a victorious Christian life. Today, I want to talk about the power of walking in love. We read in 1 Corinthians chapter 13, the passage that describes the God kind of love. Agape is the unconditional, God kind of eternal love. Let us see what this passage says, 1 Corinthians and verse 13, ‘And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.’ God gave us a very direct instruction here and taught us that love is supreme, love is above all. Even in the teachings of Jesus, we see that He taught us to love God with everything that we have and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Love is what fulfills the law. Faith works through love, scriptures tell us. Love is the basis. We could follow the principles of God’s word but if we do that without love as the undergirding factor, even these principles will not produce what they originally intended to produce in the life of a believer. Love is very important. Our motives are very important. As we look at the God kind of love, there are many descriptions about this love, how it is selfless, not boastful, it is not jealous, that this love forgives and covers a multitude of sins. We see that this is the kind of love God loves us with and scriptures also remind us that we love because He first loved us. He is the one who is initiating such love towards us and so, the only right response from us is to walk in the same kind of love towards the people that God has put in our lives. When we make decisions, when we plan things, let love be an undergirding factor. We have several other passages in scripture and I will quickly read a few for us. Ephesian chapter 5, verse 2, it says, ‘walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.’ Ephesians chapter 4, verse 32, ‘And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.’ We see that God is calling us to relate with love with one another, to have the results of love which would be having a heart of forgiveness, kindness and being tenderhearted towards others. So, basically, we are encouraged to have a culture of honor towards others, respect them, care for them and exhibit the God kind of love which will build them up. So, let’s pray that we have love in everything that concerns our spiritual walk, that we will be very effective, productive and fruitful. Let’s pray together, Heavenly Father, we thank you for this example of the God kind of love, you want us to have this love. We pray that you will help us experience it through the power of the Holy Spirit and let this love overflow from our lives, touching everyone around us, in Jesus’s name we ask this, Amen.
