Love is a potent weapon given to man by God . There are different types , namely ; family , brotherly , and divine love . These carry an anointing from God ' s perspective that is usually underestimated by most people in life , including Christians . If you just take a moment and think of this next statement : What is the opposite of love ? Is it not hate ? Hatred in one sense can be seen as the result of envy , jealousy , anger , and so on . These can cause people to steal , kill , cheat , embezzle and more .
Love creates offspring , gives confidence , sacrifices time for others , gives money and other resources to the needy and heals the broken hearted . The love Jesus exhibited during his time on earth was divine love . This type of love is the hardest for man to exhibit because it involves putting yourself last and other people first in every facet of life . How many people in this present life can truly say they possess divine love , including Christians ?
It is fair to say , very few . Jesus loved mankind which was why he laid down His life for him . This is an act of divine love . How many people on earth will be willing to die for another person ? The plain answer is either none or very few . Quite some people , even Christians can hardly tolerate other people in their own circle , let alone , loving a complete outcast or stranger . A combination of love , faith and praise is one which the enemy cannot resist .
