Selfishness versus Godly Love

2/19/2013

Thought for Meditation

Selfishness (not hatred) is the essential opposite of godly love toward another.
Therefore, whenever we are behaving selfishly, either in attitude, word, or action,
we are not walking in godly love toward those around us.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 
Charity suffereth long, and is kind;
charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things
.

Romans 13:10 
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Galatians 5:13-14 
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty;
only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself
.

Ephesians 4:2 
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love.

Ephesians 5:2 
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us
an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour
.
