MY DIARY

1 John 4:8 and 1 John 4:20–21 , where John makes it clear that love is the evidence of knowing God . Without love, a person is spiritually blind, disconnected from God, and their faith is empty—what you referred to as “pagan” or dikhawa (show-off) . Here’s a clear explanation: Love: The Proof of Knowing God John writes: “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” – 1 John 4:8 “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love their brother, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.” – 1 John 4:20 Key points: Love reveals true faith : Knowing God is not just about rituals, knowledge, or outward appearances—it’s about living in love . Without love, faith is hollow : Those who claim to follow God but act without love are essentially spiritually blind , even if they appear religious. Dikhawa (show-off) versus genuine life : Performing good works, miracles, or speaking spiritually with no ...

Love Over Miracles: The Heart That Matters Jesus said: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father… Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” – Matthew 7:21-23 This shows us: Miracles and spiritual gifts are not enough : Even performing supernatural works is meaningless if the heart is not aligned with God. Love is the foundation of obedience : Doing the will of the Father is rooted in love—for God and for others. Without love, even miraculous acts are empty. Rapture readiness comes from a loving heart : Our relationship with God, expressed through love, patience, and faithfulness, is what truly prepares us for Christ’s return. In short, love is not optional . It’s the heart of obedience, the proof ...

That’s a key point from 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 . Paul emphasizes that no matter how gifted we are—speaking like angels, prophesying, having great knowledge, or even giving everything to the poor— without love, it amounts to nothing (“becar,” worthless). Here’s a clear explanation tying it to readiness for the Rapture: Love Makes All Things Valuable Paul writes: “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal… If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship but do not have love, I gain nothing.” – 1 Corinthians 13:1,3 This teaches us that spiritual gifts, works, and even acts of devotion are meaningless without love . Why? Because God’s coming is not about what we can do, but about who we are in Him . Speaking like angels : Even if we have the most profound spiritual insight, without love, it has no eternal value. Faith and service : Even giving our lives for God without love leaves ...

The reason love is the ultimate qualifier for readiness for Christ’s coming is beautifully emphasized in 1 Corinthians 13 . Paul writes about faith, hope, and love, and concludes that love is the greatest of these . Here’s how it connects to the Rapture and spiritual readiness: Love: The Key to Readiness for the Rapture Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 13:13 : “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” Faith and hope are essential—they keep us trusting God and anticipating His promises. But love is the one that fully reflects God’s nature . It is love that shapes our actions, our hearts, and our relationships . When we genuinely love others—sacrificially, patiently, and selflessly—we are living out God’s character and preparing ourselves for His coming. Why does love qualify us for the Rapture? Love mirrors God’s essence: God is love (1 John 4:8). Those who love are aligned with His heart. Love produces patience and endurance: ...

Love, Patience, and Waiting for His Coming Beloved, love is more than just a feeling—it is life, joy, and a preparation for the day Christ returns. Science shows that when we love one another, our brains release dopamine , the “feel-good” chemical, filling us with joy, peace, and connection. But beyond science, God calls us to love: “We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.” – 1 John 3:14 As we wait for the Rapture, love teaches us patience . It strengthens our faith, helps us endure trials, and keeps our hearts ready for the glorious coming of Christ. Every act of kindness, every word of encouragement, every gesture of care is not just an expression of love—it is a way to honor God, reflect His life in us, and prepare ourselves for His return. Let love flow from your heart and be visible in your actions. In doing so, you nurture joy in yourself and others, transform waiting into hope, and remain ste...
