This is a simple thread, did anyone notice that the failure of Israel was showing much love with their mouth, but that their heart went after their covetousness ?
Jesus testified that at the ending time, the love of many goes cold.
Apostle Paul combines both what happened to Israel, with how men became lovers of their own selves, being covetous. ( as Israel who showed much love with their mouth, but their heart went after their covetousness.)
Ezekiel 33:31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
If this forum did not amazingly show that same pattern of many, of Israel being love in word only, of men being lovers of their own selves, their heart going after their covetousness, boasters, proud, blasphemers, unthankful and unholy, hey would have nothing to talk about and fulfil on this forum. Jesus showed Israel at His time with them on earth, they were a generation of vipers, how can a forum designed for abundance of the heart, do any differently...
Matthew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Now, what is missing.
We are called to know the love of Christ, it passes the understanding of all who show love only in mouth and word.
We judge that if Christ died for us, we should now not live to ourselves, but unto Christ who died for us and rose again. ( to stop loving in mouth and word, and begin in deed)
For Christ to dwell in our hearts by faith ( to not have the abundance of our heart speaking from love for ourselves, which is love in mouth, but going after covetousness.) to be grounded in love.
But, even though this is a simple thread, and it is the right way to be, the wrong way cannot be avoided, the right way can only be agreed by doing it, which the people who love to love in mouth and deed, cant stop being covetous, cant begin to love in deed and in truth.
2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
