Enchanted Garden Bible Church, Lovegate Ten, Love People, Pastor F. Norman DeArmond II, Dec 8, 2010 10. Love is for people. Mark 12:31 Royal Law Leviticus 19: 18 James 5:9; 2:8; 2:1-13; Matt5:44; John 15: 12,17; 13:1, 13:34, 1 Jn 2:3,9,10,11; 3:10,14,19-21,23; 3:14,16,17; 4:7-12, 20,21! 1Cor 13Basis: Virtue of the subject, freedom from mental attitude sins (like hatred, jealousy, revenge, meanness, sadism, rage). Impersonal love from Filling of God the Holy Spirit. This is the lovegate Jesus applied to hang tough and not sin while he was suffering the penalty for the sins of all humanity. I would have birthed a grudge against you your sins when I suffered for them disqualifying me from suffering for anyone else's sins. Christ applied the Royal Law Leviticus 19:18b&c You shall not bear a grudge against your fellow man, but you shall love him as yourself. OLD (Royal) Law commandment Love thy neighbor as thyself Leviticus 19:18, James 2:8 KINGDOM Commandment Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you Matt. 5:43-44,46 A NEW Commandment I give you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another John 13:34 15:12,13,14,17 How can we develop love that goes to the cross for the despicable? We have the indwelling and infilling of God the Holy Spirit to help us! Jesus used this love in enduring the crucifixion, we are to use this love in evangelism! John 15:16 God channels His Love to the lost world's people through us John 3:16 1 John 2:2 Hebrews 2:9, Romans 5:5 Releasing this love to others is our service of evangelism. It is the immediate realization of divine love gushing forth from our hearts. A passion for soul winning is the standard for Christians attaining advancement to Lovegate Ten. It is a normal outflow of the objective reality of God's love and grace at gate ten. 1 John 3:16 We are to be a channel God will direct His river of Divine love to flow through toward his Divinely selected objects. If we fail to adjust to or attain right relation to God, then His Love river is bottled up where we are concerned. Divine Love is the dynamic motivating force in our spiritual life. With Lovegate Ten we realize the divine ideal. Without 10. tragic disappointment of failure. CHARACTER of Lovegate 10. Supernatural, meaning superhuman John 13:34,5 John 17:21-3 Pure Christian love is immeasurably and irresistibly attractive and effective to others, not to mention the joy inexpressible and full of glory to the one who loves. Greatest is; Fruit of the Spirit is; Love!
