"What is Sincere Love?."

Let love be without hypocrisy. Romans 12:9

Love is the most expected and valuable commodity in this world. But true love is hard to find. People appear to be loving on the outside, whereas they might have the wrong attitude inside. God expects our love to be sincere. Only God's love is an unconditional and sincere love. When we are filled with God's love, we will be able to love others sincerely. This sincere love works in the same way even when we don't receive love from the other person. We realize the extent of this love when Jesus asks us to love even our enemies. Let's try to practice what Jesus said, "But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you."

உங்கள் அன்பு மாயமற்றதாயிருப்பதாக. ரோமர் 12:9

இந்த உலகில் மிகவும் எதிர்பார்க்கப்படும் மற்றும் மதிப்புமிக்க பொருள் அன்பு.  ஆனால் உண்மையான அன்பைக் கண்டுபிடிப்பது கடினம்.  மக்கள் வெளியில் அன்பாகத் தோன்றினாலும், அவர்கள் உள்ளே தவறான அணுகுமுறையைக் கொண்டிருக்கலாம்.  நம் அன்பு உண்மையாக இருக்க வேண்டும் என்று தேவன் எதிர்பார்க்கிறார்.  தேவனின் அன்பு மட்டுமே நிபந்தனையற்ற மற்றும் நேர்மையான அன்பு.  நாம் கடவுளின் அன்பால் நிரப்பப்பட்டால், நாம் மற்றவர்களை உண்மையாக நேசிக்க முடியும்.  இந்த நேர்மையான அன்பு மற்றவரிடமிருந்து நாம் அன்பைப் பெறாவிட்டாலும் அதே வழியில் செயல்படுகிறது.  நம் எதிரிகளைக்கூட நேசிக்கும்படி இயேசு கேட்கும்போது இந்த அன்பின் அளவை நாம் உணர்கிறோம்.  "எனக்குச் செவிகொடுக்கிற உங்களுக்கு நான் சொல்லுகிறேன்: உங்கள் சத்துருக்களைச் சிநேகியுங்கள், உங்களைப் பகைக்கிறவர்களுக்கு நன்மைசெய்யுங்கள்." என்று இயேசு சொன்னதை நடைமுறைப்படுத்த முயற்சிப்போம்.

"Blog Y2 086 - Calm Words, Peaceful Hearts"

Image
A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1. King Solomon gives wise advice on handling anger. A gentle answer can calm a tense situation, while harsh words only make things worse. The word "wrath" here refers to intense anger that can lead to conflict. When we’re insulted or upset, it’s easy to respond with more anger, but this only fuels the fire. Instead, responding calmly and kindly can help defuse the situation. A gentle response shows wisdom, self-control, and care for the other person, reducing tension and preventing further conflict. When faced with anger or insult, how can you respond with gentleness and wisdom to show love and defuse the situation instead of fueling conflict? Romans 12:21 says, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." மெதுவான பிரதியுத்தரம் உக்கிரத்தை மாற்றும்; கடுஞ்சொற்களோ கோபத்தை எழுப்பும். நீதிமொழிகள் 15:1. சாலோமோன் ராஜா கோபத்தை எப்படி கையாள்வது என்பதைப் பற்றிய புத்திசாலித்தனமான ஆலோசன...

"Blog Y2 450 - Fear God, Find Life"

  The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death. Proverbs 14:27. This verse highlights the importance of fearing the Lord, showing that reverence for God brings life, protection, and wisdom. It reminds us that honoring God leads to a purposeful, fulfilling life, keeping us safe from spiritual destruction. The "fear of the Lord" is like a life-giving fountain, providing spiritual nourishment, joy, and purpose. It helps believers grow in their relationship with God, bringing wisdom and understanding. As Proverbs 1:7 says, it is the beginning of true knowledge. The fear of the Lord also protects us from the dangers of sin and death. It keeps us from falling into traps that lead us away from God, guiding us away from temptation and harmful choices. Psalm 19:9 says: "The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." Reflection: Am I living with a genuine fear of the Lor...

"Blog Y2 094 - Live by the Golden Rule"

Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12. This verse, is known as the "Golden Rule," contains the teachings of Jesus Christ in a simple yet profound manner. This verse is certainly a guiding principle for Christians, and should influence our attitudes and motives as well as our seen and unseen actions. It should be a life-principle that impacts every area of life and should be exercised on all with whom we come in contact. Jesus also emphasizes that this rule reflects the teachings of the entire Old Testament, showing its foundational role in God's law. This verse contains the core Christian values like love, compassion, and justice, offering a simple yet powerful guide. Do you allow the "Golden Rule" to guide your actions and shape your attitudes towards others, reflecting love, compassion, and justice in every area of your life? 1 John 4:11 says: "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ...

"Blog Y2 020 - True Repentance Comes from the Heart"

Image
So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. Joel 2:13. This verse emphasizes that we should repent before the Lord with our hearts, not just through outward actions like tearing clothes as in the Old Testament days. He reminds us that God is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness. God is near to the brokenhearted and those with a contrite spirit. Too often, people speak of repentance but fail to take any real action. God warns against those who appear perfect outwardly but lack inner transformation. When we come to Him with a truly broken heart, God delights in renewing, changing, restoring, redeeming, saving, and transforming us. He is pleased when we turn from our sins with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Are you seeking God with a heart willing to change? Psalm 34:18 says: "The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And...

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34. Today's verse reminds us that God is sovereign and in control of our lives, and we can trust in His provision and care for us. It is part of a passage where Jesus Christ teaches His disciples about the importance of focusing on God's kingdom and not being anxious about earthly concerns. The passage addresses the issue of worry and anxiety, which is a common struggle for many people. Jesus encourages His followers to stop worrying about the future. He advises them to live in the present moment and trust that God will provide for their needs. The phrase "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow” is a reminder to surrender our worries and concerns to God and focus on living a life of faith and obedience in the present. Jesus emphasizes that worrying about the future is fruitless, as it does not add anything to our lives. Are you trusting God to take...

Image
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, Ephesians 1:3. This verse explains why and how we should praise God for every spiritual blessing. We thank and praise God for sending His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and to grant us eternal life. Our loving Father is full of grace, kindness, forgiveness, redemption, salvation, freedom, wisdom, and understanding. Through Jesus Christ, His Son, He shares these riches with us. This is the spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Now, let us consider how to praise Him. After recognizing who He is, we should search our hearts and keep ourselves pure and clean before our Holy God. We must worship Him with all our heart, mind, and strength, offering joyful songs. He expects us to worship Him in spirit and in truth. How are you praising and worshipping God for His spiritual blessings in your life?  Psalm 29:2 says: “Give un...

Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:22. Apostle James emphasizes the need to act on what we hear. He warns that we deceive ourselves if we think we can be hearers only and not doers of the Word. Those who sincerely love God are the ones who keep His commands. God desires that those who hear His Word become authentic followers of Jesus—disciples who obey the Lord’s teachings out of love for their Heavenly Father. Jesus also gave a stern warning to those who hear God's words but fail to act on them in Matthew 7:21,  "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 in heaven."  As faith without works is dead, merely hearing God's Word without putting it into practice also deadens our spiritual life. The cleansing and justifying power of God's Word is experienced only when we live according to it. Are you living as both a hearer and doer of God's Word...
