Demo only


I have been enraptured by this verse in Romans 5;8. it says;
But God DEMONSTRATES His own love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. It has warmed my heart to read this verse and challenged me all at the same time; that's probably because there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. I can enjoy a verse as equally as i can be poised to change because of its revelatory value. We as Christians need to be demonstrator's. Christ tells us that anyone who claims that they love him must obey his commandments, and Christ summed up all the commandments of the law into two; Love God and Love your neighbor. Love needs a demonstration. Don't tell anyone you love them unless there is a demonstration of it. You can't love the poor, the homeless or anyone else for that matter unless it is shown through whatever way the LORD helps you manifest it. I am pleased to know that God loves me; and further more; he demonstrates it to me. Don't know where to start? Prayer, prayer is the love language of God's people. Praise the LORD for the demonstration of his love. A last quick note. When Jesus was on the cross it was not Christ who was showing love, it was God showing it through Jesus' act of selfless obedience. When we help another person, pray for another person, or just simply be there for that person, we are demonstrating not our love, but His God's love to people.
