We usually think of love as what we do for others; but this is only partially true. Christ says: “I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.”

Read the full scripture in Mark 1: 1-8.

THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD FOR SIN:
The concept of shedding blood for sin goes back to the earliest stages of human history. Even before the fall of Adam and Eve, there was a death penalty for disobedience to God.
Read about this in my #book , Hidden Treasure available in Amazon.
When we are servants of God, we have more freedom than when we are servants to sin because God’s influence is not coercive. Sin’s influence is coercive and compulsive; yet we are afraid to let go of this freedom that we really do not have.

Saint Paul recognized his own boundaries in relation to other Christians when he said this. Our job is to point each other to Christ, and not to ourselves or to each other.
