Love was the bedrock of Jesus' life, the very reason He came to seek and save the lost.

Is this really the church of Christ, or are we just calling it the church because of our traditions and history?

I believe, as followers of Christ, we are commanded to reach out to the least of these in the name of Jesus and show them they matter a great deal to God, who sacrificed His only Son to reach them with His love.

When we are broken like Jesus, we are able to forgive people, truly forgive them, and desire no revenge. A good example of this is found in the life of Joseph. When his brothers came to him desperate in the time of famine, he had every reason to turn them away and let them die. But he didn't. He said, "My brothers, don't be afraid, the Lord sent me here for you" (see Genesis 45:5).

When we learn to run to it and embrace it, when we can plan habitually to go without things for Christ's sake, then we've begun to live the life of reasonable service: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service" (Romans 12:1).

Meanwhile, millions who have never heard it once fall into the flames of eternal hell without ever hearing the salvation story.

It is a lifelong choice to deliberately and habitually bring ourselves under God's authority.
