Romans 13:7-14
Give to all men therefore their duty:
- Tribute, to whom you owe tribute:
- Custom, to whom custom:
- Fear, to who fear:
- Honor, to whom you owe honor
Owe nothing to any man, but to love one another: For he that loves another; hath fulfilled the Law.
For this,
- You shalt not commit adultery,
- You shalt not kill,
- You shalt not steal,
- You shalt not bear false witness,
- You shalt not covet:
And if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, even in this,
You are to love your neighbor as thyself.
Love does not do evil to his neighbor: therefore is love the fulfilling of the Law.
And that, considering the season, that it is now time that we should arise from sleep: for now is our salvation nearer, than when we believed it.
The night is past, and the day is at hand, let us therefore cast away the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light, So that we walk honestly, as in the day:
- Not in gluttony, and drunkenness,
- Neither in in sexual promiscuity and sensuality and wantonness,
- Nor in strife and jealousy
But you put on the Lord JESUS CHRIST, and take no thought for the flesh, to fulfill the lust of it.
Put on the love of Jesus Christ; take no thought of the flesh to fulfill the lust of it.
This so go’s against the American way of life, even the church in America.
Look look at the way you deal with people look at the way you think about people, stuff and things those things you think you poses,
who or what are you loyal to, what attitudes do you pack around,
do you truly love others as you love yourself?
Do you truly put others before yourself,
or are you like 98% of the Christians all in words and no action, and if you have action is it for self-gain?
Repent and live a life of love is not a life of self.

Romans 12:9-21
Do not let love be withheld.
Hate that which is evil, and embrace that which is good.
Be affectionate to love one another with brotherly love. In giving honor, go one before another.
Do not be lazy to do service, be passionate in spirit serving the Lord, continuing in prayer
Distributing to the necessities of the Saints: giving your selves to hospitality
Bless them which persecute you: bless, I say, and do not curse them.
Rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Be affectionate one towards another: do not be high-minded: but make yourselves equal to them of the lower sort:
Do not be wise in yourselves.
Do not return evil for evil to any man: attain things honestly in the sight of all men.
If it is possible, for as much as it is in you, have peace with all men.
Dearly beloved, Do not avenge yourselves, but give place in your life to wrath do not avenge yourself: for it is written,
“Vengeance is mine: I will repay, saith the Lord”.
Therefore if your enemy is hungry, feed him: if he thirsty, give him drink: for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with goodness.
Simply put Love all do not think you are better or more important than others even your enemies.
Love all man and be at peace with all man to the best of the ability God has given you.
Care for those who heat you and do good for them.
Father God will deal with them on the day Christ returns. It is not up to you to make things right it is not your job to corect ever one or everything. It is God’s.
Who do you think you are to question God’s rule over your life?
To take revenge on an enemy is to say God I will handle this I don’t need your help. With this attitude you lose.
To show your enemies love and care, Father God can use you to touch them with His love and give them an opportunity to repent and turn from there ways to Him.
Wow weren’t you given that opportunity once?

Romans 8: 27, 28 - 38, 39
But he that searches the hearts knows what the meaning of the Spirit is: for He makes request for the Saints, according to the will of God.
Also we know that all things work together for the best to them that love God, even to them that are called of his purpose.
For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jesus and the Holy Spirit make request on our behalf to the Father according to His will.
We do not always know the will of God in our lives and a lot of time we are not willing to except God will in our lives, due to lack of hope in Him and fear of what might happen to us.
But if we are attempting to fallow the ways of Father God, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit witch Christ has given us make request to the Father on our behalf for they know the will of God in our lives and all three are for us not against us, even when the But there is nothing that can take separate us from God’s love and His love for us.
Even when the tribulations come they are for our good and if we will lean in to the love of and our hope in Christ Jesus, knowing He is before the Father on our behalf making request for us for our good.
Knowing and accepting that there is nothing that can separate you from the love of Father God.
Jesus has not abandoned you He is even now preparing a place for you and is before the Father on your behalf asking the Father for what you need in your life to build your faith and hope in Him.
And when you except that whatever happens in your life is either from Father God or allowed by Father God (Read Job) for your good (weather it seems good or bad) embrace it thank the Lord for His favor , His love and His willingness to care for you. And then go and share His love.

Romans 5:
Then being justified by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
By who also through faith we have had this access into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice under the hope of the glory of God. Neither that only, but also we rejoice in tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings forth patience.
And patience experience and experience hope.
And hope makes us not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given to us. For Christ, when we were yet of no strength, at His time died for the ungodly.
Doubtless one will scarce die for a righteous man: but yet for a good man it may be that one dare die. But God set out his love towards us, seeing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Justified by faith, we have peace toward God
Through faith we have access to God’s grace
Where we stand, and rejoice under the hope of the glory of God
We also rejoice in tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings forth patience and patience experience and experience hope. And hope makes us not ashamed to be used by the Holy Ghost to share the love of God to the rest of the world
For when we were yet of no strength weekly, willingly following after sin Christ gave of Himself and died for us God set out his love towards us, seeing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
So why is it most in the American Church today are afraid to share the love of God with others?
1. Justification by Faith, we are justified by God but don’t truly believe it
2. No true peace toward God, we question His leading in our lives
3. We reject tribulations and run from any form of it, instead of embracing them
4. So no true patience is formed in our lives
5. Which makes our experiences lame and week
6. Which builds no hope in us
7. Without hope in Christ we have fear instead of peace
8. So instead of living a life that speaks of Christ, Father God and the love they have for us, we do not share
Through our experiences we learn, if your eyes are truly open you can see that through each and every experience you encounter there is something to learn, and by your enter action in the experience weather you consider it a good or bad situation how you except it, embrace it will determine if it grows hope in you.
When tribulations come embrace them have joy in Christ knowing that whatever it is no matter how bad it may seem Father God is still in control and even if it kills your body your soul will live for ever with Christ in eternity.
Christ said “I will never leave you nor forsake you”
Christ toke victory over death hell and the grave so what do you have to fear?
Embrace the experience of the tribulation except being patience and grow your hope in Christ, and share your hope with others.

John 21:
When they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon the son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?
He said to him, Yes, Lord, you know that I love You.
And Jesus said to him, Feed My lambs.
Jesus said to him again the second time, Simon the son of Jonah, do you love Me?
Peter said to him, Yes, Lord, you know that I love You.
And aging Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep.
Then Jesus said to him the third time, Simon the son of Jonah, do you love Me?
Peter was grieved because Jesus said to Him the third time, do you love Me? And said to Him, Lord, you know all things: you know that I love You.
Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep.
Verily, verily I say to you: When you were young, you clothed yourself, and walked whither you wanted: but when you are old, you will stretch forth your hands and another will cloth you, and lead you to where you do not want to go.
And this he spoke signifying by what death he should glorify God.
And when he had said this, he said to him, follow Me.
Then Peter turned about, and saw the disciple whom JESUS loved, following, which had also leaned on his breast at supper, and had said, Lord, which is he that betrays you?
When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, Lord, what will this man do?
Jesus said to him, if I will that he tarry till I come, what is it to you? You follow me. Then this word went abroad among the brethren that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say to him, He will not die: He said if “I will that he tarry till I come, what is it to you?”
This is that disciple, who testifies of these things, and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
Now there are also many other things which Jesus did, that which if they should be written every one, I suppose the world could not contain the books that should be written, Amen.
i have heard sermons on John 21 but not one i have ever heard has spoken of it as to how we should live our lives, every time when hearing it or read it there are two things that stick out to me and when i went on the two year walk through the word allowing the Holy Spirit to lead these two points stuck out even more.
1. If we have asked Jesus to be our lord and we truly have love in our heart for Him and His ways; He is asking us to feed His sheep. No we are not all appointed to be preachers or teachers but we are all called to share the word, love and grace of the Father with this world and those in the body of Christ.
- Sharing your life with someone in need
- Giving of yourself to someone in need
- Speaking the word of Christ in a situation
- Reaching out to others
This is all feeding the sheep of Christ
2. What is it to you? A question i think Christ askes us all.
What is it to you if I allow some on to prosper, to fall, to live or to die? What is it to you?
Your responsibility is to fallow Jesus no matter who is doing or not doing, has or does not have.
Jesus says to you; “what is it to you? You follow me.”
Don’t get all hung up on what someone ells has gets or does. And don’t get hung up on what you think you have, or don’t have, get to do or don’t get to do Jesus askes one thing of each of us and that is to fallow Him.
If you are one who always sees them self in need realize YOU ARE, you are in need of a truly personal relationship whit Christ, for if Christ is truly first in your life your focus will be on Him and fallowing Him rather than others what they have and do or yourself as to what you have don’t have do or can’t do.
Jesus says to you, if I will that you tarry till I come, what is it to you? You follow me.
If you need to mold your life after someone other than Jesus, try Job the man who has the greatest impact on who i am today other than Jesus.
If you are fallowing after Jesus living your life for Him He is not only your provider but your provision, and you should come to the realization of the fact that nothing ells maters beyond fallowing Jesus.
Matthew 5-7 Jesus tells us how to live and that He will provide all our NEED’S So why be distracted with what you think you are missing because someone ells has it or gets to do it. Sometimes i feel like standing up in church and yelling who do you serve, yourself, man, this world or Christ?
But Jesus says:
What’s it to you? You just follow me! i
i say this in love;
Get over yourself, this world, this life is not about you. It is about others.
Die to yourself, Fallow Christ, serve others
