LOVE HAS NO REASON
LOVE HAS NO REASON
Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion—Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the country of Moab and remained there. Then Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons. Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years. Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman survived her two sons and her husband.
Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had visited His people by giving them bread. Therefore she went out from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah. And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each to her mother’s house. The Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. The Lord grant that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband.”
So she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept. And they said to her, “Surely we will return with you to your people.”
But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters; why will you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? Turn back, my daughters, go—for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say I have hope, if I should have a husband tonight and should also bear sons, would you wait for them till they were grown? Would you restrain yourselves from having husbands? No, my daughters; for it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord has gone out against me!”
Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.”
But Ruth said:
“Entreat me not to leave you,
Or to turn back from following after you;
For wherever you go, I will go;
And wherever you lodge, I will lodge;
Your people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.
Where you die, I will die,
And there will I be buried.
The Lord do so to me, and more also,
If anything but death parts you and me.”
When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her.
A : Ruth wanted nothing from Naomi she was more concern about Naomi’s need then her on.
B : Love is not self seeking [ 1 cor 13:4] ruth was not seeking anything from Naomi
JESUS CHRIST HAD NO REASON
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
A : Jesus didn’t wait until we got it together before he died on the cross he had no reason or why
B : What if he had a reason ? if he had had a reason then his love would have a condition thats not Agapa Love
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
We love Him because He first loved us.
A : He first loved us meaning while we were yet sinners not what we should’ve been,imperfect
Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.
who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
HOW ARE WE TO LOVE
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
A : Christ loved us with unconditional love he didnt put a condition on us to love us
And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
MAKING A VOW
When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it;
For He has no pleasure in fools.
Pay what you have vowed—
Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.
Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands? For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God.
