However, it was all talk to the people around him who knew him. Whenever things got tough at work, he became bitter and accusatory. There wasn ' t anything particularly different about his life other than it was spent at church on Sundays. Our walk with Christ doesn ' t set us apart if we don ' t have love. We ' re just an annoying noise drifting through the air, unable to minister God ' s love to anyone.
Love is the bond of unity.
When we love people, we can soften their hearts and touch their lives in unique ways. That ' s how we ' re bound to God through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus. God loved us so much that when sin entered into the world and hindered mankind ' s relationship with Him, God, in His infinite love, sought to restore us unto Him as quickly as possible. If God didn ' t love us, that wouldn ' t be the case. He does love us, and we ' re bound in unity with Him through that love.
