ROMANS 12:9
"Do not just pretend to love others, really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring one another."
Is your love of others sincere? Is it the real thing? Is your love without hypocrisy? Others know the truth and for certain God knows! Fake feelings of love and concern are not genuine and are not sincere. Wearing a mask and mouthing words and platitudes may fool some but you will never fool God. True love is real love and it will not be mistaken. The way we love our children is a good example of true and unconditional love. Let us hope your love of God is even greater. God is love and if you are His child you will be capable of real sincere Love.
If you are able to love sincerely, then you will also quite naturally hate that which is evil. You will loathe ungodliness and turn in horror from wickedness. This reaction will allow you to hold fast to all that is good and all that is from God. We need to cling to that which is good. We also need to separate ourselves from that which is evil, wicked and ungodly. Hate what is wrong!
As believer's we are one big family. We should love each other with bold affection. We should honor one another and show precedence to them over others. Be kind to one another and devoted to building up the family. Honor others above yourself. Never allow yourself to be a PRETENDER OR HYPOCRITE.
