Let's Sunday 🤸🤸🕺🕺
Unfeigned Love💫
What is unfeigned Love??🤔
This term appears a few times in the Bible, to be more specific (Romans 12:9, II Corinthians 6:6 and I Peter 1:22) among other places.
To feign is simply to pretend or to give a false appearance, so when we talk about unfeigned Love? We mean the genuine and sincere kind of love as opposed to feigned love which is fake and shallow.
Rom 12:9 exhorts believers to "Let love be genuine" ESV, this is unfeigned Love, it is actually a straightforward command, but the problem comes in when we are told to practice it, which becomes a little complicated. Unfeigned Love is more than a plastered smile on a face during Sunday mornings that quickly disappears after a handshake ends, it is more than wishing people well, unfeigned Love results into action, it comes from a true desire to help other's,it includes loyalty and does not seek it's own honour, love doesn't hesitate to help, unfeigned Love is not Jealous instead it rejoices with other's.
Jesus first loved us 1 John 4:19, and His love was unfeigned, it held nothing back, He died for us, therefore our relationship to each other brethren comes down to one command "Love your neighbor as you love yourself" if we can do this without hypocrisy, without feigning then we are showing the world how Christ, the source of unfeigned Love, Loves us.
