LOVE FOR THE DAY IS NEAR

Love, for the Day Is Near
 8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." 10 Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. 11 And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. Romans 13:8-14

When we are with the Church in felllowship, it is SO important to examine our conscience as to the our relationship with our neighbor that are less than loving God is Offended. Things happen between people that are not always loving. When we do or think things  about our neighbor we MUST repent.  Otherwise our corporate worship of God is False and becomes a mockery. 

 As we read from 1John, “If someone says ‘I love God’ but hates his neighbor or sister, that person is a LIAR, for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love GOD whom we cannot see? And He has given this command. Those who love God must also love their Christian brothers and sisters.” 1John1:4:20
