JESUS AND LOVE #2
LOVE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
What defines Christianity is Christlikeness, which is demonstrated by the love of Jesus. This is why i believe every Christian goal is to strive to pursue the Love life of Jesus and to demonstrate it to humanity on the earth.
Paul came up and said, "If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha." (1 Cor. 16:22 KJV).
Other versions put it this way;
"If anyone does not love the Lord [does not have a friendly affection for Him and is not kindly disposed toward Him], he shall be accursed! Our Lord will come! (Maranatha!)" (1 Cor. 16:22 AMP)
"...let him be accursed...(ESV)
"If anyone does not love the Lord, that person be cursed! Come, Lord! (NIV)
The Greek for Come, Lord! Produces an Aramaic expression (Marana tha), used by early Christians (thats why we find this word in the KJV, as we know KJV uses early Aramaic language)
"If anyone does not love the Lord [does not have a friendly affection for Him and is not kindly disposed toward Him], he shall be accursed! Our Lord will come! (Maranatha!)" (1 Cor. 16:22 AMP)
Question, what would have made Paul to make such assertion?
This is because, it is a non-negotiable requirement in Christianity and for Christians who claims to be Christlike.
