What is actually mean love? There are numerous meaning of love in human's definitions. But this is what really love means...love does based on feelings. Love doesn't mean sex. Here what God says about love. When one asked about which is the important commandments while Jesus answered, "Love your God with all your heat, soul, strength and mind. And 2nd is love your neighbors as yourself". Many pick that verse and misuse it. In 1 Corinthians define the true meaning of love...... Love is kind and patient....never jealous,boastful,proud, or rude. Love isn't selfish or quick tempered. It doesn't keep a record of wrongs that others do. Love rejoices in the truth,but not in evil. Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting. Love never fails. Now, does it mean I fail these shows that I don't love. Its depends. Discipline self by the help of the Holy Spirit will mold you into godly example. Now, the word evil is same meaning of sins. Now, evil doesn't mean horrific type in human's perspective. Notice that is love hate sin. So what sin does it mean? There is a list of it, same sex, sex outside of marriage,molesters, sex with animals, wild parties, dirty thoughts, dirty talks, cussing, practice witchcrafts,hate others, hard to get along with, gossipping, say things to hurt someone, lies,envious,drunk,selfish, angry,jealous,arguing, looking for troubles, refuse to forgive and more. Diversity means different race, disabilties, opposite sex. So how can we show our love by hating sins? If you look at Jesus, like a woman who caught in adultery, or woman at the well who had 5 husbands, tho Jesus doesn't approve their doing, but ministered them. Love draws them to God. The Holy Spirit convicts sins, not condemn. Convict and condemn doesn't mean the same. When a person living in sin continuously, the conviction begin to weaken, which is sign of harden heart which is very dangerous thing to do. The conscience been weakened. Could God breaks the harden heart, yes, He can. But, what if the person hasn't change, God didn't do anything, if you ask. The truth is, God has, but a person chose to live in disobedience. Like its written, God isn't mocked, what you sow will also reap. Christ died for all of us. He is waiting for anyone who call on Him, He will never turn His back on you. Also written, practice godliness. Its a daily process as a growing part. Like planting a tree and watch how it grows. Apart from Him, you can do nothing. In Christ, like a tree, by allowing the Holy Spirit enable you to discipline to becomemore like Him, you will be a likea frutiful tree, something notof Him, He will prune to bring more good fruit to bear. That's cover what love is.
