Walking in perfect love - Paperback

by Reinhard Hirtler (Author)

The Bible has a lot to say about the subject of love. There are many misunderstandings about this subject in the body of Christ. One of the reasons for this is that we do not understand the true, biblical meaning of love. I personally knew a man who died and went to heaven because of a ruptured artery.When he entered heaven, the first thing Jesus asked him was this question: "When you lived on earth, did you learn to love?" Three other people were asked the same question while he was there with Jesus. As they tried to find excuses for why they had not been able to learn to walk in love, it became very clear that Jesus did not accept any of these excuses. While this had nothing to do with their salvation, it had everything to do with their eternal reward.This man got supernaturally healed, came back to life, and lived for many more years. Those who knew him closely all said the same thing about him - that after this incident his greatest goal in life was to live a life of love. It is one of the deepest desires of my heart to truly walk in love. I am convinced that love is the way to a victorious Christian life. I dare not think that I have achieved this goal or have perfected it. I do what the apostle Paul said he did: "Press on toward the goal before me" (see Phil. 3:14). I believe there is no greater way to impact other people's lives than through love. Often among Christians we focus on the gifts, anointings, and callings more than on the love displayed in people's lives. It is my prayer that this book will help you grow in love toward Jesus and toward everybody else. After all, these three abide: faith, hope and love.But love is the greatest (see 1 Cor. 13:13)
