Love

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Romans 13 ... Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.


We, who are born again, born of the Spirit of God, would never want to hurt another person, even when that person has shown himself to be an enemy of us and an enemy of God.  We would not want to hurt anyone.

When I see an enemy of the ways of God, I often have to pray for God to control my mouth.  My flesh might want to tell that person the correct way but I do not want to operate by my flesh.  So I pray, asking God to let me speak only that which HE wants me to speak.

Love does not hurt another person.  Love thinks about that which he is about to say or do, not wanting to harm the other person in any way.

Certainly we can see how adultery is opposite to love.  Love would never harm a mate.  Love would not want to harm the other persons family.  Love would not want to harm the other person.  (Fornication is same thing ... The love of God and the love we have for the Word of God would overcome our flesh, therefore love would keep us from both adultery and fornication.  Adultery and fornication are the opposite from love.)

Love would not want to take advantage of another person in business dealings.  Love would not defraud another person.  Love cares about the other person.

Love works no ill to anyone and is careful to avoid needlessly hurting another person.
