Beloved Brethren & Friends. Imagine wanting to make a cake to celebrate an anniversary ... Although we have all the ingredients, flour, chocolate, fruits, yeast, an excellent oven, but if we do not have honey, or sugar, or some other sweetener, we know that we simply will not be able to. True? That is why modern society does not work properly… The idea of "Communism" was taken by Karl Marx from the New Testament: All who believed were together, and had all things in common. They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need. Acts 2:44-45 But of course, what they didn't realize is why they could put that into practice and it's because they had the main element that made it possible for them to live that way, and that element is the Love of God, which each one of those disciples enjoyed and had obtained by receiving Jesus as Lord of their lives, and by the Holy Spirit. Rom 5:5 Because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit given to us. What the communist leaders have always done when they take over a nation is to seize all their wealth and then distribute it to the convenience of the chief leaders who become millionaires, of course, ensuring that none of those leaders hold that wealth in front of the people, and then distribute some crumbs among the population, to make them believe that they are benefiting them, and always blame all problems and shortcomings on opposition leaders, or nations opposed to their government. Of course, that kind of government cannot work, because it only brings misery and pain to the nation. In case you have not noticed our western society and the world in general is becoming more and more alarmingly contaminated with what I call one of the biggest plagues in the world, which is "selfishness", characteristic of the Devil himself, dragging behind it hate and lies, mainly all characteristics of Satan. Although I do not watch television, nor do I go to the movies, the little that comes to me is the predominant selfishness in the world of Hollywood and others in the same field. The vast majority of "movie stars" are wrapped in a spirit of arrogance and false superiority that is disgusting to me, to say the least, and the saddest thing is to see millions of young people, who obviously have no guidance from loving parents, who imitate those movie idols and are led to the most bitter disappointment, upon discovering that there is nothing in their lives that satisfies the desire for fulfillment, which is only found in Jesus. Ahhhh, but how marvelous it is to meet God's love in Jesus Christ… 1Jn 3:16 By this we have known LOVE, because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. When we find the Love of God in Jesus, everything makes sense in our lives, knowing that GOD LOVES US SO SUCH THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE... Hallelujah! And now I know that I don't get lost because I AM ONE OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE! That's enough to have a party... Hmmmmmmmmmmm... God the creator of the Universe not only loves me but now lives in me... Now we have sweetener to make our cake. Mat 5:13~16 “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Of course it is important to understand that we will not find the Love of God in most of the modern churches that have been carried away by the world. Jesus said it this way… Jn 13:34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Wow, brother, sister, I have to love you just like Jesus loves me. And how much did He love me? So much that He went to the death and death of the cross to save me and you... And that I can only do now because He lives in me. Hallelujah! Now I can do everything in Christ that strengthens me. Phil 4:13 How many quote that passage, without realizing that it IS TRUE? Well, for a healthy, productive, and satisfied society to exist, the main ingredient is Agape Love. When a family has Jesus as the center of their life, what a beauty, everything works, parents sacrifice themselves lovingly for each other, they daily sacrifice personal desires for their children's sake, which then turn around and sacrifice themselves for each other. In the environment of that family one breathes God, hmmmmmmm, what an aroma of eternal life! Human love is not like the love of God. It is selfish, jealous, produces divisions, capable of lying and even killing. While the Love of God, Agape is: Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1Cor 13:4-8 That is why a Church where one cannot breathe that love of God that overwhelms us, that surrounds us, that fills us, that motivates us to give our lives for our neediest brothers, or is not of God, or simply lives overwhelmed by doctrines of men who quench the love of God, and put their members under the law of works, and the condemnation of the enemy. How could the governments of today's world have a satisfied society without the main ingredient? Simply IMPOSSIBLE! And to think that Agape Love is not even a matter of study in any educational institute, when it is the most important thing our society needs.
When we know that God loves us and that He dwells within us, then, there is nothing impossible for us. Mt 17:20, For the LOVE OF CHRIST CONSTRAINS US 2Cor 5:14. When we go out on the streets and see the poor people lost, sick, addicted, slave, how not to stop to help them? We are the salt, we are the light, we have the answer to get them out of the hole where the devil has them captive. If they are sick, heal them, if they are lost, show them the way, if they do not have to eat, invite them to eat, if they do not have the daily bread let them know that if they receive the Love of God, from then on that will be fully paid . If you yourself have not realized how great is God's love for you, then, say a prayer, talk to our Heavenly Father and ask him ... Dad, tell me, how much do you love me? And believe him when He tells you that He loves you so much that He was willing to allow Jesus to give his life for you… Jn 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. And that… For He has made Him who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2Co 5:21, That means that if you are a Son of God by faith in Christ Jesus, then when God sees you, He sees the Justice of Christ upon you. And now you have the same authority that Jesus has over all principality, authority, power, dominion and every name that is named, not only in this century but also in the age to come, not for anything we have done but because Jesus is in us... behold, I am with you every day, until the end of the world Mat 18:19~20 And what about my sins? Efe 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. In other words, Jesus already PAID FOR THEM ALL Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under Law, but under grace. Jn 8:34-36 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever practices sin is the slave of sin. And the slave does not abide in the house forever, but the Son abides forever. Therefore if the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. Begin to confess that YOU ARE FREE OF SIN, simply because Jesus affirmed it: if the Son sets you free, YOU WILL BE REALLY FREE! Time to know that we have dominion over ourselves, it is time to order sin out of your life, authority has been given to us by the Son of God.
1Jn 4:6-12 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God. He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love. By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
Blessings… Alejandro
