Love = Action!

For Thursday, May 11, 2023:

1 John 3:18 NLT: “Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.”

Jesus and now the disciples persist in teaching Jesus’ new command – to love one another as he loved us! The concept was not commonplace back then, but the disciples had experienced the love of Jesus as they traveled with him and listened to his teaching. It had been very refreshing living that way, it’s what Jesus said to do, so now they’re out to tell everybody!

It’s said that actions speak louder than words. John writes that loving our brothers and sisters requires more than just agreeing with the concept. We need to put that principle into action, just like Jesus did. We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us!

Loving your neighbor requires action!
