The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Do TREASURE The WORD Of God – In LOVE! 

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Do TREASURE The WORD Of God – In LOVE! 

“O how LOVE I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 98 Thou through thy COMMANDMENTS [WORDS] hast MADE ME WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me” Psalms 119:97-98/Emphasis Mine. 

When God’s Word in love becomes a command and not just advice that determines and defines your life, you will fear no evil as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. [Ecclesiastes 8:5; 1 John 4:17-18] 

Love is the antidote that silences fear by the Word. For where love is operational, faith is at work. [Galatians 5:6, 13; 2 Timothy 1:7] 

I welcome you to treasure God’s Word in love, as we are enjoined to do in 1 John 5:3. Let us keep and do God’s Word in love, for God’s Word is not irksome, burdensome, a taskmaster, enslaving, or grievous by any means. 

“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who LOVES Him who begot also LOVES Him who is begotten of Him. 2 By this we know that we LOVE the children of God, when we LOVE God and KEEP His COMMANDMENTS [WORDS]. 3 For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep His COMMANDMENTS [WORDS]. And His COMMANDMENTS [WORDS] are not BURDENSOME [GRIEVOUS, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER, ENSLAVING]” 1 John 5:1-3/Emphasis Mine. 

Treasuring God’s WORD in love will give you the faith leverage to overcome and triumph, to have dominion, victory and to be more than a conqueror over the world system. You will also be assured of God’s enabling to thrive in life and grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. [1 John 5:4-5; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 8:35-39] 

Be Blessed in the word by love. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
