Good question; I'm not sure. Lots of changes have happened in my life in the past few months, I've been experiencing LIFE (really living) lately and not just surviving, God has made Himself more REAL to me and I've found that THE ONLY way we can really reach anyone is through LOVE. Maybe, that's why this blog has come about, to try and help others see that real, true LOVE is the way people will change, it's the way JESUS did it, it's the way I'm trying to do it and so far... it's working pretty well.
I'm not a huge fan of the 3,602 different versions of the Bible we have in English (another blog for another day), but this passage in the Contemporary English Version, is pretty neat:
1 John 4:7-12 (CEV):
My dear friends, we must love each other. Love comes from God, and when we love each other, it shows that we have been given new life. We are now God's children, and we know him. God is love, and anyone who doesn't love others has never known him. God showed his love for us when he sent his only Son into the world to give us life. Real love isn't our love for God, but his love for us. God sent his Son to be the sacrifice by which our sins are forgiven. Dear friends, since God loved us this much, we must love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is truly in our hearts.
How will people be able to tell we've been transformed if we don't love?
