The Right to LOVE, Emery B. Barber

Listen to Emery's New Podcast !
More and more people nowadays are saying that everyone has the right to love who they want to love. But does everyone have the right to define or should I say redefine what love is? God is Love, and as such embodies and defines what love is. So the matter is not just what, but who is Love.

Now many of us know that the word love can be used to define a variety of ideologies. "Eros," where we get the word Erotica; "Phileo" from which we derive Philadelphia, "the city of brother love," and others, but the Word - Love is transliterated from the Greek word "Agape." This is a Love without limits, such that the very grace of God is required to demonstrate it; such that one must be connected to Love to produce Love's fruit, because it is impossible to Love without Love.
That is why one is bankrupt without Love. Because one would be fruitless, as it relates to Love without Love. So can one call love what Love says is the opposite of Love? If our greatest ideal is to embody Love, to walk in Love. How can we do so without demonstrating Love? Jesus the very embodiment of Love says that His disciples will be known by their Love. His disciples will be known by their Love. Jesus is the disciples Love. So how can one demonstrate Love while rejecting Love.

God so loved the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son (Love), that whosoever believers in Him (God's Son - Jesus - who is Love) shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 (Emphasis and explanation added). Everybody has the right to love. To do so is to be a disciple of Love. To be such necessitates ones faith in, ones belief in Love. To do that is to make the decision to love. And yes God has given everyone the right to love through Jesus Christ our Love, our Lord, our Savior. So are you ready to Love for the sake of the Love that was given, that died, and rose with all power for you to live in Love?

If so reach out to an agent of Love to make the decision to Love today.

In His Love,
Pastor Emery
