Romans 12:9-13 ~ Let Love be Genuine

When we consider all the books and papyrus of importance since first century A.D., the 1st century would be astonished with our knowledge and ability to name the Prefect of Judea, Syria was just an outpost with a suburb.  Staggered - at our lack of intimate knowledge of the Roman Emperors of this period. When we think of building projects, we are largely at a loss to know building achievements of the building oriented Roman Empire. Instead we know the names of fishermen, tax collectors and Jesus. We know the Colosseum for the reason of the persecution of Christians.

(We know something the Roman Empire probably did not. The Ptolemy Pharaohs of Egypt were Jews and related to the Herodians. Cleopatra's sister, Arsinoe, is deleted as history takes shortcuts, however the murder of Arsinoe in the Biblically mentioned Temple of Artemis, Diana, Acts 19, 1 Timothy 2 - gives us the DNA studies linking the Herodians and Ptolemy.)

The wisdom of the wise -  
The 1st Century would be completely and utterly astonished at the common knowledge our 21st Century labelled important and the winds of the Spirit create what really remains of History in this Anno Domini year of Our Lord .


2 Corinthians 4:18
We look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. 

For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

It's amazing what remains in what we shape and direct of our lives and culture. Today.

The Bible unites people far more than we realize. 

We pray more Heaven on earth - few of God's mankind would disagree.


Consider John 14, Jesus is telling the uncertain Disciples about what is important as Jesus still continues with the idea they will eat His Body and drink His Blood. 72 Disciples left over the idea God gets to decide and tell mankind His ideals.  Jesus chooses to tells us what He sees is important - His joy of the life God calls good as Jesus approaches His death.

Still uniting people.

John 14

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. 

No one comes to the Father except through me. 

When we see History - we see this:

 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”



9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

We believe this today resting on the Millenniums of Witnesses to God's Glory in their lives. We value because this Word of God's has been Cherished and Loved. God's  people knew the miraculous of "Jesus healed them all." The miracles of Jesus alive shown to 400 people. 

History is even the terror of the Roman Emperors, who would not stop because answered God prayer move hearts and mountains.  And Emperors like to call the shots. And human beings lighted on fire in the Coliseum. For their fear. Just as the Egyptian Pharaoh wanted to decide, so did the Emperors. 

Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.


16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.


The Word of God is continually revered.

Since Genesis when God said being alone is Not Good, we have all thought about this.

Leading us to a universal prayer request of God

Romans 12

9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 

Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 

Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. 

Abba, Holy Father,

We pray for more Heaven on earth. We pray for Love to be Genuine. For meaningful lives.

And this prayer, going around our earth comes from those who Believe Jesus is God. And we pray this reaches across our Nation. Trusting in God our Father Almighty. Circling, embracing and holding dear to uplift all the people we Love and to the entire earth.

In the Highest Name of Jesus, we ask Your Blessings.

Amen.

♔ Lord Jesus Saves!
