When is your love your testimony?

 

1 John 4:7-12 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 

9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. "

The love that God shows to us, is the love that God wants us to share. The Lord states that he manifested the love that he has to give and placed it in the form of Jesus and then had Jesus (through his death on the cross) dwell in us. The love that is shown for us. The love that is sacrificial, the love that tells you to give of yourself. That is the testimony, that God wants us to show the world. The question is, what does your testimony look like? Do you still remember the love that God showed you and gave you? and the Question is are you showing that love that God gave you?

If you are saved, if you have the LOVE OF GOD inside you, where is the sacrificial love for the world that you need to show? All the preaching and door knocking will mean nothing if you do not show the Love of God in every facet of life.
