"Love" The Foundation of God's Plan
By Ray Murray
Transcript
In this insightful video, Ray Murray delves into the profound and often misunderstood concept of love, going beyond popular interpretations to reveal its true biblical meaning. Mr. Murray takes us on a journey through various scriptures, starting with Mark 12 vs. 28, where Jesus defines the greatest commandment: to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself.
Ray Murray emphasizes that these two commandments encapsulate the entirety of God's law, demonstrating how genuine love is an active, not passive, principle. He explores passages like James 2 vs. 8, which refers to loving your neighbor as the "royal law," and highlights how choosing who we love is a form of sin. Mr. Murray also discusses Ephesians 1, revealing that God chose us in love before the foundation of the world, desiring a personal relationship with us. He clarifies that God's plan, established "before the ages of time," is founded on love, and that we are perfected through Christ to be holy and blameless in love.
Drawing from 1 John 4 vs. 8, Ray Murray reminds us that "God is love," and that living in love means dwelling in God. He challenges viewers to examine their own relationships and "manner of spirit," emphasizing that loving God necessitates loving our brothers and sisters. Throughout the video, Ray Murray passionately articulates that God's commandments are not burdensome but are given for our good, leading to peace and righteous outcomes. This video offers a compelling and comprehensive understanding of love as defined by God, urging us to walk in love as God first loved us.
