Daily Bread - MAR/05/07
1 John 4:11 - "Beloved if God so loved us we ought to love one another."
The kind of love that Father demands that we have for one another is the same love that was extended to us when Jesus died for our sins on the cross. True love is God's love, and His love has been given to us by the Holy Spirit. We have been given the privilege of not only being beneficiaries of His love but we are also empowered to reveal His love. There is no greater command! There is no greater proof of salvation! (John 13:34-35; 15:12; Colossians 3:14; 1 Thessalonians 4:9; 1 Peter 4:8; 1 John 3:11, 23; Jude 21) The most important thing to God is that we walk in His love. There is no justifiable reason to ever stop loving the people of God even to the point of laying our lives down for them. God has called us to be those who obey Him and follow Him by walking in the same kind of love that He Himself has (Ephesians 5:1-2).
Walk in love,
Pastor Mark Spitsbergen

- I started this blog back in 2005, but in 2006 began dedicating it solely for the purpose of posting email messages called, Daily Bread, sent out Monday through Saturday by my pastor, Mark Spitsbergen. These daily emails contain fresh revelation that Mark gets from the Word of God by the Holy Spirit for that day for the church that God has called him to pastor, Abiding Place. 1 Peter 4:11 says, "If any man speak let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister let him do it as of the ability which God gives that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen." Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, (John 14:6), and He says, "The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life." (John 6:63). For the Word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
