Love - By Todd Pickle

Leviticus 19:8 says, "Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people."

We are to love other people like we love ourselves. It is our duty as Christians to love other people.

Deuteronomy 6:5 says, "And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."

It is our supreme Christian duty to love god. We should be devoted to God. All of our affection, time and music should be directed to him.

Deuteronomy 10:12 says that one of the requirements for Christians is to love God. It is not an option, it is required.

Psalms 18:1 says, "I will love thee, O LORD, my strength."

Are you weak?

Do you want to be strong?

Love the Lord, that will give you strength.


Psalm 31:23 says, "O love the LORD, all ye his saints."

Saints love God. I am not saying that saints love God all of the time. There is this false the doctrine that if the Lord is not Lord of all, he is not Lord at all. No one is perfect. Humans cannot love all of the time. But most of the time, saints do love the Lord. They love to be in his presence and sing his music.

Psalms 145:20 says that the Lord preserves those who love him.

Do you love him today?


Song of Solomon 2:5 says I am sick of love.

Sometimes we let circumstances get in our way. We see people react badly to our love. Instead of getting love in return we are attached. We can become sick of love. Are you sick of love today? Don't be sick of love.

Matthew 24:12 says that the love of many will grow cold.

Don't be one of them.


Romans 5:5 "And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."

We've been given God's love on demand. We need to access that love. God's love will counteract whatever weariness we have. Galatians 5:22 says that love is the fruit of the Spirit. Have you been eating your love fruit today?


Ephesians 5:2 says to speak the truth in love.

We are all to speak love.

Ephesians 5:25 says that we are to love our wives as Christ loves the church.

Hebrews 13:1 says to let brotherly love continue.

1 Peter 1:22 says, "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently"

Who are to love? You can see that we are all to love. Sadly, Revelation 2:4 says that you have left your first love. Let us never leave our first love. Let's hang on.
