Unnatural Love

The sin nature that entered into man as a result of Adam’s choice to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge will be forever tied to a believer until they pass on into the next life and receive their new bodies. This resulted in our natural nature becoming an enemy to God’s nature. It lead to our pursuit of self righteousness and aspirations to be like the most high God. The nature that we were born into does not want to love. The sin nature is a nature that knows not the sacrifice it takes to love someone as it ought to. The sin nature wants to take from others to benefit self. This leads us to believe that the word love that the world uses cannot be the same love out from God. Apart from God we cannot love. Only the Holy Spirit can teach us how to love one another and our Heavenly Father. The words that the world should use in the place of love is “I lust you” or “I seduce you”. The world either just wants what their eyes see or they want to give, in order to get what they want. The reason we become so peculiar is that the motives we use for our actions are no longer based on the world’s system and so they do not know how to receive a love that is free from self and pure in the hopes to bless others from the sacrifice of the giver. That’s why the world cannot accept Christ’s love, they believe they have to earn it, “Nothing in Life is Free”!!! Love today the way it was intended as Christ Loved us, freely give what you have freely been given!!! Have a wonderful life of love on purpose!!!!!

John 15

The Vine and the Branches
1"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. 8This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
9"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command. 15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 17This is my command: Love each other.
The World Hates the Disciples
18"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.'[b] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. 22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. 23He who hates me hates my Father as well. 24If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.'[c]
26"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. 27And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.
