Living in this world, everyone likes to be loved and to live in love. Many do not want to live anymore when they are disappointed at their friends’ or loved ones’ love. We cannot deny the truth that all the problems and crimes in this world are due to the lack of love in human hearts. If everyone loves God and loves one another according to God’s Word, they can live together in peace and harmony, without envy, hatred, deceit, prejudice, racial discrimination, covetousness, theft, fornication, adultery, murder, wars, etc. If you truly love others, you will not want to steal their things, harm them, or kill them. If husbands and wives love each other, they can respect each other, bear with each other, help each other, and faithfully live together without adultery or divorce. If parents love their children, they can take care of them, nurture them, admonish them, and discipline them to be good citizens. If children love their parents, they can honour, obey and show filial piety to their parents. If the siblings love one another, they can show self-denial in their mutual dealings, take care of one another and help one another. If every family can live together in love, there will be peace and happiness at home, in society and in this world. Love is so vital and precious! The Holy Scriptures confirm, “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity” (1 Cor 13:13). Many think that they have a loving heart and are able to change this world, but sadly, human love is very selfish, limited and changeable due to their selfish and sinful nature; therefore, there cannot be happiness and peace in this world without selfless and holy love of God in human hearts.
In order to have a holy and loving heart from the Lord, you and I must be saved and transformed by the Lord. Please read our next article.
