Let Love Master One's Emotion

Prologue


                And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is
                love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 

                Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who 
                loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7

DO YOU WANT TO END THE CONTINUALLY RECURRENT NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION?

Let love, i.e., selfless love, motivates all other emotions. To be sure, it's the greatest and strongest emotion. Mastering all other feelings through love leads to good and positive behavior or action that wonderfully influences all other things - people, conditions or surroundings. Through love one can have the best of life; approved by men and God, too.

Like Jesus, A Man of God
With the Spirit Can Show
Great Love


1 Corinthians 13:1-8 NIV

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

LOVE NEVER FAILS.

Epilogue

                  But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not
                  without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the
                  grace of God that was with me. 1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV

God the Father and Son have shown how to love. Both loved us first even when we were in sin. Jesus has come in the flesh to model the loving ways of the Father.

But can  any man really love his or her fellowmen as God has?

Indeed, yes! Joined with Christ and empowered by the Spirit within, man can love God and everyone.

To be sure, love is the seal that authenticates a converted man.
