“For all of the law is fulfilled in one word, even this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Galatians 5:14
God has Paul write that love covers all of the requirements of a godly life. Our Father is love and we are born again of Him, we are born again of love. Now if God is Love, then His Spirit is love. So if we walk in Love, we shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh, right? Well, turn again to John 17:26 and let’s see what Jesus said. “And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
To insure that we walk in the Spirit, which is Love, so that we don’t fulfill the lust of the flesh, God gave us His very Own love. Jesus said that is why He declared God to the people and will declare Him; so that we could have the very thing that will allow us to walk in perfection, love! Nowhere does God ever write that we can’t have His level of love. Jesus said that He declared God’s name and that He will continue to declare it, so that God’s love may be in us. Well, Jesus is still declaring God and His Spirit remains in our hearts, crying out Father. Jesus does this so that we can spend eternity with Him from the moment that we are chosen and empowered to say yes to Him. That is the timeline of our salvation, from that point of acceptance throughout all of eternity, not from the time when we get to heaven on. We walk one with God from the very instant that He chose us and we accepted Him, that is when He empowered us to begin to walk in His Spirit, that is the very moment that we became eternally one with our Fathers love!
