The Human Sanctuary and Temple of God-14 quotes

How are we to practically manifest this Godly and Christlike form of love to our fellow brothers and sisters in this Remnant faith, and thus prove that our love for them is indeed true and sincere and not fake and hypocritical? Let us explore into some Bible verses to find examples on exactly how to manifest this true Christ-like love for each other.

“Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.” Romans 12:10-16.

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.” Philippians 2:1-2.

“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves....

“Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11-26.

“For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want [brothers and sisters in Jerusalem], that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality...Wherefore show ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love”. 2 Corinthians 8:13-14, 24.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love....For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another....And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.” Galatians 5:6, 12-15, 24-26.

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:10-12.

“Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.” Philippians 2:17-21.

“Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” James 5:14-15.

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace....That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love....put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:1-3, 14-16, 22-32.

God has set a very high standard for all of His people to live up to in manifesting this true form of love for one another. But it is not humanly possible to truly perform all these actions of love for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and live up to this lofty standard. Yet it is not impossible with God!

In order to truly love one another with this form of Godly love and indeed be able in His grace and strength to live up to this high standard, we must humbly and sincerely ask God to plant His love within our hearts and minds through the Holy Spirit. But if we instead allow self to live in us, then Lucifer would be within us, and thus it will be impossible for us to manifest this Godly form of love. So we are either manifesting a Godly unselfish love to one another which reveals that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are living in us, or we are manifesting a Devilish selfish love that reveals we are Christ-less and agents of Lucifer to one another.

We are to manifest this Godly form of true love to one another just as often as God and Christ has loved us – which is everlasting and never ending! This means that we are to manifest this Godly love for our fellow brothers and sisters at all times, and without fail. But just as our walking with God is a learning process, and just as our faith, hope and trust in God is to grow and increase more and more each day, so the same with our manifesting Godly love to one another. Our love for one another is to continually grow and increase more each day as we learn more and more of how to imitate our loving God and Saviour in character!

One of the most important factors and keys to loving one another as Christ loves us, is a daily moment-by-moment conversion to God. Without a daily crucifixion of self and conversion to God, it will be absolutely impossible to truly love one another, because Satan will see to it that we love self instead, and thus Godly love will die in us. Daily crucifixion of self is also the key factor to gaining everlasting life and being saved! That is why this subject of how we love one another is indeed salvational, because without manifesting true love for God and for one another, we cannot be saved! Being able to truly manifest this Godly love to all our brothers and sisters and becoming saved, all begins with conversion to God, and then maintaining this conversion to God at all times throughout each day.

“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.” 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus...Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life”. Philippians 2:5, 12-16.

“Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain....Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.” James 5:7, 10-12.

“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:22-25.

“And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:9-10.

In any large family, there are always those brothers and sisters whose peculiarities and eccentricities of character make them very difficult to get along with. So are we to manifest a pure unselfish Christlike love to each and every one of our fellow brothers and sisters in this Remnant faith – including those who are difficult to get along with, or just the ones we want to love?

“But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more”. 1 Thessalonians 4:9-10.

These verses plainly reveal to us that our Godly love is to extend to all our brothers and sisters in the same faith, irregardless of where they may be! And the Scriptures also reveal that we are to manifest this Godly love even to those among us who may not yet love us in this same Godly way!

If any of us have failed to reveal this Godly love to all of our brothers and sisters in this Remnant faith, including those who do not yet love us as they should, then may God forgive us. Because how can His blessings rest upon us if we are guilty of not truly loving one another as Christ as loved us?

“Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door....Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” James 5:8-9, 16.

The Greek word for “grudge” used here is “stenazo”, and it translates and means “to make in straits, to sigh, murmur, pray with grief, groan, grudge” (Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, word #4727). This shows that we are not to grudge against one another, or in other words, we are not to bring any of our brothers or sisters into tight places, or do anything that will cause them to sigh, murmur, groan, or to be in grief which would then force them to pray to God for help to relieve their emotional pain. And dear ones, if we are guilty of causing any emotional stress and pain to one another, even the least among us, then we stand under the condemnation of God. But instead let us repent and confess our faults one to another, and pray for one another, so that any divisions or separations among us caused by our lack of true Godly love for one another, may be healed.

One of the greatest causes of emotional problems occurring among and affecting God’s followers is not caused by intentional wrongs being committed, but it is instead caused by imagined wrongs! There are so many who imagine that a brother or sister has hurt them in some way, when in fact they never did, or never intended to. But once this imagined wrong begins in the mind, the Devil is right there to stir up the emotions over this supposed wrong, and then with the emotions stirred, it is almost impossible to avoid involving others in it. And now with others involved, then all kinds of greater problems arise, and the Devil is laughing all the while as dissension and division grow and extend among a once united and peaceful body! But the truth is that all this sad division can be traced back to nothing more than one brother or sister imagining evil done against them by another, and without any factual evidence to support it.

God knows us better than we know ourselves. So then to try and prevent the Devil from so easily bringing about dissension and division among God’s people – even without any plain evidence, God and Christ and the Holy Spirit have plainly admonished each and every one of their followers to:

“Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.” Mark 6:37, 41-42.

These verses show us that we if we believe someone has wronged us, we first had to have imagined that they did this evil to us, and then we had to have judged them as being guilty of doing this wrong. So Christ is advising all of His followers here that before imagining evil against our fellow brother or sister which then will lead us to quickly passing judgement against them, let us first carefully examine and judge our own actions to see if we are guilty of doing the same things we believe others have done against us. And if we see that we are guilty of the same sins, then we must first repent and put away this sin from us. It is only after our repentance and putting away of this sin, that we are now cleansed from this selfishness which has obscured our vision, and we can then be able to see more clearly how to help others. In following this divine instruction we will avoid becoming an hypocrite and being an agent of Lucifer, and thus we will be in a much better position and spirit to help others overcome the same wrong because we have already overcome it through the blood of the Lamb.

But if we do not obey this divine instruction from God, but instead believe that our evil imaginations against one another are factual truth, then we would not be advancing towards heaven and the promised land, but we would instead be going backwards into Egypt! And this would plainly show that we are not growing more true and honest in Christ Jesus, but are instead growing more false and deceitful in Lucifer!

“But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.” Jeremiah 7:23-24.

Let us all make sure that we are not wearing self as a garment to be easily ruffled up when others happen to brush against us. But instead let us make sure that we have crucified self completely to death before we believe that someone has indeed wronged us. Let us lovingly think the best of one another and not the worst, and let us always be very slow to judge them of wrongdoing.

“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth”. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.

“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem [the] other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” Philippians 2:3-4.
