One can know for sure they are not loving if he or she deliberately commits a sin.
The Holy Spirit will, if a person follows what the Holy Spirit tells them, teach and heal a person to where they will never sin at all.
(Romans 8: 4) “He did this in order that the law’s just demands might be satisfied in us, who behave not as our unspiritual nature but as the Spirit dictates.”
Not sinning at all is truly loving God, and man.
Hi,
Rarely am I stumped. Rarely do I come across things that I don't know how to take. Rarely.
Love others as I have loved you, and Not sinning at all is truly loving God, and man.
Yes, that seems to work.
So, how does one do that I say thinking on a single person's life as an example,,,,Maybe. I can have this conversation with her. She is here now.
"Do you love?"
Yes, I am love that is all tha I am.
"What do you mean. God is love, how is it that you are love and God is love if you are not God?"
Well. I am love. It was not always so. When I was younger, I would say that certainly was not so.
"Go on please"
There was a year and a half in my life, when I did the impossible. I did not do a single sin for a year and a half.
"That's impossible"
Yes, that is. I though was able to do that once in my life.
"Okay. I am confused"
Later, things started happening to me, and then I could love like I have never loved before. I loved selflessly.
"Okay"
God did that. I have no abilities to love greater than myself. I cannot love without God. God did that, but let me tell you a little more.
"This seems implausible"
Yes. Yes it does. My life now is being only love to you, and to everyone else. It seemed that was little. It is much. It was much. I though merely mirror love. I though without Jesus am just me.
"What do you mean."
In my case and every human is treated by God individually, so what I do for God, and what God does for me, apart from love, but in the way God loves, is different in each human being.
"Hmmm?"
In my case my requirements from God are actually to be a Catholic, as hard as that is for anyone to believe. I can be in any religion, that is Trinitarian, to make it simple. My assignment from God was the Catholics.
They have the Eucharist. Like a balloon deflated, is what I am. Like a baloon filled with air is what happens to me, when I am around the Eucharist. I do not understand this. I live it. Being around the Eucharist for one hour, at least once a month, causes Jesus, like air in the baloon of me, to escape when I am loving anyone.
What they get is Jesus and not me. That is how I love.
"I am not sure, I understand"
Nor do I. I as me, am no miracle worker. I as me, am not really nice. I with being around Jesus enough, am all of a sudden, nice, effective, and the miracles are in people becoming better.
Does that make any sense to you.
"No, but I have heard that we are to become more Christ Like."
I would say that is exactly what I said.
"I need to go now."
Certainly.
She this woman, loves and is love we all see it. And she does not think it is her, but an effect of just being near Jesus. I imagine all the people I see who get close to Jesus, Biblically, are this way. I imagine.
Wait.
"How do you become this way, again?"
God did this. I could not do this on my own. I never was like this.
"What about this man's words on love"
Yes, for me, I when I love, do not sin. And I know it. God lets me know this. When and if I do not do His Will often enough, then I can sin again.
"What?"
The Bible and where God puts you in life, is God's Will for you. It is the same for all people. I pray, and not because I want to, but because it is in the Bible. I give alms. I don't want to do that. The me that is me, does not want to do that. I do it, because it is written. I don't want to work with the poor. I do because it is written. I don't want to be humble. I do the work to be humble, becauase it is written. I don't want to work. I do because it is written. I don't want to go to regular meetings. I do because it is written. I do not want to do what my assigned church tells me to do. I do because it is written. Just doing the things that are written, and that assigned church tells me to do, causes me to work for God, and I don't sin when I am doing that, or He forgives all my sins or ignores them, like maybe happened to Abraham. I am not certain. But, I know that some of the things I do now, would have been called sins by me once upon a time, and they no longer are, as long as I do my part.
"I don't quite understand"
And neither do I, but it is my life.
"Well thanks"
Do you want anything deeper?
"Ah, no. No. Not today."
Fine.
Well I think I am more confused now, than when I started. You bother me JohnLove, but in a good way. In a good way.
LOVE,
...Mary., .... .
