A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Too many falsely believe the love of one’s neighbor is all that is needed for eternity in Heaven, or that loving one’s neighbor is the same or sufficient in the economy of God for salvation. There is no question that love is the demonstration of a changed life (from unsaved to saved). However, love is regularly offered to others without a changed life. In the Scriptures, Jesus cautioned His disciples that…
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ – Matthew 7:22-23
Their outward sign was a failed attempt to hide the lack of an inward, spiritual change. Just as God accepted Abel’s sacrifice, He rejected Cain’s in Genesis 4.
Love of our neighbor is a sign of the Christian life but it cannot be the only sign in the life of a Christian.
