In John, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.” Now that’s what many churches should preach because many have a serious problem understanding how they should love their neighbor. Many times I think churches should stop for some months and every Sunday they should preach love. How important love is as a Christian.
In Proverbs 10:12 it says hatred stirs up conflict but love covers all offenses, and verse 15 says, “The wealth of the rich is his fortified city, the poverty of the poor is their destruction.” Many times when I’m on my corner that’s how I feel. Simply because that’s the way people act toward the poor. I say this because I think people should read their Bibles more often.
I never been rich, but I think it has a great effect on wealthy people’s attitude. “The way they treat the poor.” Ya see, if you have the power of love in your heart, it don’t matter who you see or who you meet, love covers the way you treat others, no matter whether they’re rich or poor, especially the poor. I think many should consider this. You should love everyone, All your neighbors. God said that to love God and your neighbors was the two most important commandments. And to be frank about it, it’s gonna be very hard to enter the gate of heaven if you don’t live this way on Earth. God said in the Lord’s Prayer, “On Earth as it is in heaven.” So that means the way we live here on Earth will be the same way we live in heaven, with love to everyone, not just to some.
