Love covers a multitude of sin [September 18, 2021]
Love covers a multitude of sin
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirreth up strifes, but love covereth all sins
Human beings are quick to condemn people they do not love or have no appreciation for. But always ready to defend people they love and care for even when they are wrong.
God loves every living being even those who falsely accuse Him, criticize Him and try to disgrace Him.
John 15: 13 says
Greater love has no man than this, that a man should lay down His life for his friends.
The love of God overlooks whatever faults we have or sins we have committed. He loves us in spite of everything.
As Christians we are to be imitators of Christ. We should learn to love all people and let our love overlook their wrongs.
1 Peter 4:8
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity covers the multitude of sins (for love covers a multitude of sins)
The same message given in Proverbs is repeated in 1 Peter. This is an indication that the message is very important to God. Let us learn to love one another
God be with you.
How can I apply the word to my life?
,1. Ask God to help you to love all those you deal with, so you can overlook their wrongs and point them to Christ
Prayer
Beloved, let us love one another
For love is of God and everyone that loveth is born of God
And knoweth
He that loveth not
Knoweth not God
For God is love
Beloved, let us love one another. Amen.
