Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
I didn't watch your video, but I certainly can't argue with your post.

It's only a minute and 38 seconds long man...

I did watch it, and no offense Brother, but I have trouble following what you was saying. You mumble a little bit and you have a pretty heavy accent, and that made it very hard for me to understand.

I don't feel like I wasted my time though, lol. I love you Brother. We're all Brothers and Sisters in Christ, and this is the new Christianity coming out. Today's Christians are learning to walk in love towards everyone. They didn't teach this stuff before, not in church. The face of Christianity is changing I can see that all over the place. They're teaching the love of Jesus now. It's catching on too. You're teaching about love, see what I mean?

Scripture says that knowledge will be increased in the last days...It's happening now. The knowledge of God and His love is being taught like never before. God bless you and your Ministry Brother.

No, it's 1:39.

Nice!
Love for one another proves that we are God's children.
But love can be hard! Do we love those on the other side of our political spectrum or do we call them stupid? Do we love the teacher that picks on us or do we gossip about them? Do we love the controlling family member or do we ignore them? Do we feel compassion for the homeless guy smoking a cig and sippin from a bottle or do we think "why don't you get a job, mr lazybones"?

You both raise very good points here; I'd like to add another.
We all know the story of Christ's passion, how Barabbus (obviously guilty) was set free, with Jesus (obviouosly innocent) took his place. What's really interesting is the name Barabbus. It's not just some name that doesn't mean anything; it translates to "Son of the Father". We are all Sons (or Daughters) of the Father--obviously guilty, and set aside, for Jesus to take our place.
How can we accept this act of love from Jesus, and not offer it to others?
It's being forgiven your debt, turning to your debtor, and not forgiving them. Not only is it non-Christian, it just doesn't make sense.
Thank you, Gustav, for your post & video of either 1:38 or 1:39:p. It's opened up great discussion, and an opportunity to look into ourselves, and see if we're really forgiving & loving people the way that we should.
