307 Until then, I'm going to live true to that Word, so help me, God, because that's my Absolute, with malice towards none, with love and grace towards all. If that isn't right, God could strike me dead standing here in this pulpit. I have malice against nobody. I love everybody.
308 And don't you know, did you ever read First John 4:17, that you have to have correction like that, to make genuine love at the time of judgment? It's not to be different. It's love. Love is strict, and love chastens. 63-0127 - "An Absolute"
I love you. Don't forget the commandments of God to you, little children, "Love one another." Love everybody. Right or wrong, sinner or saint, love them, anyhow. If you don't, then pray God to help you, 'cause God loved the sinner. And the nature of God is in you. If the man is wrong, love him, anyhow. Don't partake of his sins. See? Don't partake of his sins. But in sweetness, not in sourness and rebuke, in sweetness tell him of the hope of Life that rests within you, through Jesus Christ being revealed to you by the Holy Ghost 63-0728 - "Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed"
Well, some new issues and the different kinds come in. If it's not of God it'll fall anyhow. So why… Just let them go ahead and let's love one another. Don't fight one another. As long as the devil's got you fighting one another, he don't have to fight at all. He will set back and has a picnic, watching you fight one another, and laugh at youprofessing to have the Holy Ghost, and fighting one another.
31 Love one another. Jesus said, "… this will all men know that you're My disciples, when you got love one for the other." This is when all men will know that you're My disciples: got love one for the other. That's the greatest evidence of the Holy Ghost that I know of, when you can love one another. Yes, sir. That's the great commandment. Great thing. Though you speak with tongues of men and angels, and have not love, it profits you nothing. 61-0129 - "Turning Northward"
Now I do have, of course, well, I wouldn't want to call "opponents," but I have people who does not accept the Message. And, why, my, I can't think hard of them. Jesus had the same thing in His day, everybody else has. And each time, of a Message of God, the world has never received It. But that doesn't make one speck of bitterness towards that person, or them people, or that organization. It's still just the same. I'm so thankful for that. That's one of the evidences that I know that I have passed from death unto Life; no matter what the brethren do, I still love them, you see. In my heart, I love them, see, 'cause it's a love that—that God has put in my heart for my brethren. And now the Lord bless. 63-0803B - "Investments"
56 The only thing the matter, get all these little differences away from you. Little isms, and little funny feelings around you for brethren, and things like that, shake it away! Don't let no root of bitterness ever get into your soul. If you do, it'll canker you. Right. Keep love! I don't care how much people hate you, you love them anyhow. If you can't do that, you need… the… you the ain't… you ain't sealed, you got a loose place yet. So come on, on back, and get that sealed up right good with the Blood of Christ. It'll cleanse you from all roots of bitterness. Yes. 60-1206 - "The Smyrnaean Church Age"
86 If the brother, you think he's a little wrong, or the sister, say, "Lord, don't let me never have the root of bitterness spring up, 'cause it'll—it'll affect him, and it'll take the Christ right out of my life." That poison acids of malice, and jealousy, and hatred, that will just take the Holy Spirit right away from you. It will run Him from the tabernacle here. It'll kill the Spirit of God, or drive It away from here, hurt you pastor. It'll do everything. See? Don't you do that.63-0728 - "Christ Is The Mystery Of God Revealed"
