Romans claimed love, like the world today claims love. There is no worldly culture that stands up and says, God is the love we provide.
Romans had 6 different terms for love: Eros which is sexual love, Philia which is friendship based, Ludus which is playful love, Agape which is a love for everyone, Pragma which is long lived love, and Philautia which is a love for self. All these types of love, define how a human loves. But none, none show that love is rooted in spirit, and none glorify God as what is Love.
For me to say, 'I love you', is for me to say, 'through me, God has love for you'. But I have met none that make that consideration. But if they did, the love would mean more, and God would be at the center of all relationships. That is how deeply ingrained it is in us to be recognized. And so, that shows how we must strive to understand what the kingdom is, and how it should glorify the Father.
The Kingdom is the same here on earth as it is in heaven. The kingdom is the eternal conscience. This is vital to embrace, because by this gospel, the end will come. If we consider the kingdom as upon the living here, we should then realize, that it is under the Holy Authority. And the Holy Spirit was placed here by that Authority to guide us. The kingdom of love is either used to glorify, or to deny God. This is what will separate the sheep from the goats.
If you now look at your soul, and consider it is a part of God, it is easy to understand why the kingdom is available. A soul is of the same unseen qualities as the kingdom. Our soul already seeks and draws from it. But if we now see the holy conscience as what provides, we can understand, that we honor ourselves with it. This is a basic truth, a fundamental. If the soul exists, the kingdom exists, and nothing that expires should make claim on either.
Your enemies can love, just as you do. They claim love and honor themselves with it. They love and consider hate as an equal. Their love is selfish and judgemental, and based on their incomplete knowledge of good and evil. For you, who claim Christ is in you; how are you different?
If your faith carries Truth forward in your day, you are recognized by the Spirit of Truth. This counselling Spirit, acts through you, as you have denied yourself so he can. This holiness, which has perfect understanding, places this wisdom on your heart and mind. This, so by your faith, you can act in ways that glorify God, not your self. This guidance is what supplies perfection to come through you. This is what makes you different.
As this understanding grows, you now see how denying yourself allows holiness to come through you. The unseen qualities of God are apparent in your daily walk. This body we are bound in, becomes nothing more than a temporary vessel for our eternal qualities. This again, clearly separates us from those who consider this host body to be what is righteous.
As this understanding develops, you will see now how the power of God can serve to glorify the Father through us. And how the gifts of the Spirit can increase. And how prayer is heard allowed in heaven when only shared from the mind. God knows our thoughts because we are of God! There is no separation, only blindness and forgetfulness on our behalf.
And this understanding takes form, when we act on faith in this gospel of the Kingdom. You are the part of God that can glorify Him, or deny Him by your acts. Either act on faith or rely on your own choices. The Kingdom is there for all to decide what and whom they want to glorify. God loved us first, by recognizing Him as what is righteous alone, we love Him in return.
And none of this would have been possible without Christ Jesus, so all of this honors the Father by His son.
"'Through me, God has love for you."
Amen
