Cause you've got to have love one for another

Share

Now, everybody wants to be loved. I tell you the truth. I do. I want God to love me, and I want the people to love me. That’s exactly the truth. And if God loves me, then the people will love me. And if I love His people, then He will love me for doing it. God would rather I’d love you, than love Him. Did you know that? I’d rather you love my boy back there, no matter what you say about me. I want you to love my children. And any father would think that. So Father God thinks the same thing for He said, “Insomuch as you have done unto the least of these, My little ones, you have did it unto Me.” So if you want to love God, just start loving all of His children. And God will reward you. If you’ll just love His children that shows the love of God is in you.

12 Jesus said, “This is the way that all the people to know that you’re—you’re children of God and passed from death unto Life, when you have love one for another.” Then you’ll know it. Not because you can have a big church, that’s all right. Not because that you have a lot of fine ministers come by, that—that’s good, too. But it’s because that you have love one for another.

Now, when this revival’s over and you all go to your respective churches…We’re not here to proselyte, and tell you, “All leave one church and go to another.” You keep your church. Try to bring some sinners into that church.

Then when you go back to your respective church, go back with such a heart full of love. And that—that woman that you just couldn’t stand or that man, love him or her anyhow. They’ll know you got something out of the meeting then. That’s right. If you don’t do that, then you—you—you haven’t gained anything yet. ’Cause you’ve got to have love one for another. Then the people…The—the outside world will know that you’ve passed from death unto Life when you have love one for another.

That's the way to make the world salty

Share

Jesus said, “You’re the salt of the earth. But if the salt’s lost it’s savour (That’s its strength.), it is henceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trod under the foot of man.” About here last year, I was holding your convention for the Foursquare people in California, and I passed the Salt Lake Deserts and that’s what I seen then, the salt left its savour, nothing but just to make walks out of.

13 But salt is a savour if it contacts. You—you have a piece of meat here, and a barrel of salt here, you’ve got to get them together to, the salt to the meat or the meat to the salt, to preserve the meat. And that’s the way it is. We’ve got to get the believer with the unbeliever. That’s right. You’ve got to get them into the Church, into the salty bunch of people. And you know, salt—salt also makes a thirst, doesn’t it? And if you eat salt, you get thirsty. And God wants His Church so salty, till the whole world will thirst to be like them (That’s right. See?), just thirsty, just thirsty. Just think, say, “Oh, if I could only live the way that woman lived. If she ain’t the most sweetest, peaceful person, never out of humor, never is fussy. She’s always kind, trying to do something to help somebody else. Why, she’s a credit to any man’s church.”

Yes, sir, that man used…He’s a neighbor; he’s a gentleman; he’s just so full of the love of God. You can see him at all hours of night on his knees somewhere praying. He’s always ready to go do something; he’s always talking about the Lord Jesus and His mercy. That’s the way to make the world salty. Act like that.
