Love Covers Over a Multitude of Sins

Ken

Not everything we do is sin, Thank God! But, “above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins” (1Peter 4:8 NIV). Only the love of God can rightly answer for the sins of the world through the atoning death of the Son of God (John 3:16). Even the irritating things we do that are not sin, but may provoke others to sin, can be covered over, like a wet blanket can prevent a fire. Love is that esteem that only emanates from God and is transmissible by a willing heart to reach back to God or touch others. Sin cannot take hold where the Spirit of Love rules. You cannot sin and love God at the same time. We need the influence of the Holy Spirit all around us like He brooded over the earth at Creation. LORD, fill us — Your Church — with Your Spirit that this planet may have an opportunity to experience the love of God in this sin drenched world. Draw us all to Yourself like a Holy Magnet. Amen. “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me” (John 12:32 KJV).
