Many self proclaimed ministers teach that\u00a0 love can be defined as keeping silent in the face growing evil and accepting and embracing any form or type of evil or behavior with open arms, <\/strong>and call it love and tolerance <\/strong>without any rebuke even if the behavior is contradictory to the Bible. Many of these minsters claim that anyone who\u00a0does vocally condemn \u00a0evil and evil practices\u00a0 and \u00a0who do not accept or embrace evil, perverse alternative lifestyles, and call it love, do not have the love of\u00a0 God in them. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But is that accurate? \u00a0Is the love of God based on complete acceptance of perverse behaviors and lifestyles that result in suffering, mental anguish, and physical death in this life,\u00a0 and spiritual death when judged, while calling it love? Romans 1:32 . \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The term Godly love can be defined as a complete love for God and all that he represents. Complete allegiance and obedience to God expressed by complete adherence to his word and his commandments. To love God above all else, which is the first and most important commandment. And that love really\u00a0 is summed up by keeping \u00a0the\u00a0commandments and the word of God as a whole. Which actually involves doing what his word says. And loving your fellow man as you love yourself, which is the second most important commandment. And in that context\u00a0 Godly love is summed\u00a0 up as\u00a0 complete obedience to the\u00a0 commandments, \u00a0and word of God as whole.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Romans 13:10<\/strong><\/p>\n King James Version (KJV)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n 10\u00a0<\/sup>Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n What Godly Love Is<\/strong><\/p>\n Did you know\u00a0the Bible emphasizes over and over the necessity for rebuking evil and applying righteous judgement to all things and situations, to expose evil for what it really is?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 1.
