WELCOME TO BARAH MINISTRIES
TODAY’S STUDY
THE CREATOR’S Will is That You Know You Are Loved
If (1) I speak with the tongues of men and of angels (let’s just say I do), but (if I) do not have (unconditional) love (while speaking), I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
…the (unconditional) love of God has been poured out within our hearts through (God) the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.
The one who does not love (unconditionally) does not know God, for God is (unconditional) love.
For I (Paul) am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers…
…nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Then Peter came and said to Him (the Lord Jesus Christ), “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
(The Lord) Jesus (Christ) said to him (Peter), “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.”
(Unconditional)…love is patient, (unconditional) love is kind and is not jealous; (unconditional) love does not brag and is not arrogant…
…(unconditional love) does not act unbecomingly; it (unconditional love) does not seek its own, (unconditional love) is not provoked, (unconditional love) does not take into account a wrong suffered…
…(unconditional love) does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but (unconditional love) rejoices with the truth…
…(unconditional love) bears all things, (unconditional love) believes all things, (unconditional love) hopes all things, (unconditional love) endures all things…
…(unconditional) love never fails.
But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together.//One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him,/“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the (Mosaic) Law?”
And He (the Lord Jesus Christ) said to him (a Pharisee and lawyer), “‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ // This is the great and foremost commandment.”
“The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’//On these two commandments depend the whole (Mosaic) Law (contained in the first five books of the Old Testament) and the Prophets (the remainder of the Old Testament).”
The scribe said to Him, “Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that HE IS ONE, AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE BESIDES HIM…”
“…AND TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL THE HEART AND WITH ALL THE UNDERSTANDING AND WITH ALL THE STRENGTH, AND TO LOVE ONE’S NEIGHBOR AS HIMSELF, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another (unconditionally), even as I have loved you (unconditionally), that you alsolove one another (unconditionally).”
“By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’//But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…
…so that you may be sons of your (God the) Father who is in heaven; for He (God the Father) causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.//For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?//Therefore you are to be perfect (in the way you love…unconditionally), as your heavenly Father is perfect (in the way He loves…unconditionally).
But now faith, hope, love, abide (in the sphere of) these three; but thegreatest of these is (unconditional) love.
“Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. //You are My friends if you do what I command you.”
If (1) I speak with the tongues of men and of angels (let’s assume he does), but do not have (unconditional) love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
