You Have No Love



You Have No Love
Author: Mark V. Markov

Did I ask for too much?
More than a lot?
You gave me nothing
And now from you,
And your ministry
It's all I've got.

We're supposed to be one in Christ
But were not the same
We're supposed to carry each other
And not ignore one another

When it comes to action,
You have no love.
When it comes to action,
You have no heart,
But only empty words.

For to me
It seems
All who practice this
That they are
A fake believer,
A fake believer.

For if one who is able,
And yet doesn't care
About the brother or sister in Christ.
But only talks about God.
Then to the world,
That action testifies.

The person and his ministry is a fake!
When the person has resources
And yet chooses to deny
The instruction of Jesus Christ
The instruction which is in the word of God,
That grieves the Holy Spirit.

If one who is able
And still doesn't care about
The brother or sister in Christ
But only talks about God,
Then to the world that action testifies

It seems that they are
A fake believer,
It seems that they are
A fake believer.

In the end many will come to Jesus Christ
And say "Didn't we do mighty works in your name?
And cast out demons in your name?"
Than Jesus Christ will say to them
"Away from me, and go into hell
You who practiced lawlessness."
Please remember,
Jesus Christ never called them liars.

People can have power from the Holy Spirit
To cast out demons
And perform mighty works in Jesus name
But if they live a life of lawlessness
A life of lawlessness before God.

Breaking the commandments of Jesus Christ,
Not keeping the commandment
To love your neighbor as self.
For to love God with all your heart,soul,and mind,
Is to follow His instruction.
To follow Jesus Christ's instruction,
Instead of breaking the commandments,
And teaching others to do the same.

Continually teaching contrary
And continually doing,
What is not pleasing to Jesus Christ.
Then in the end
They that do likewise,
Will end up going into hell.

For if one who is able
And yet doesn't care about
The brother or sister in Christ
But only talks about God
Then to the world that action testifies

It seems that they are
A fake believer,
It seems that they are
A fake believer.

When it comes to action,
You have no love.
When it comes to action,
You have no heart,
But only empty words.

For to me
It seems
All who practice this
That they are
A fake believer,
A fake believer.

But for any one who listens to their sermons
Just believe in Jesus Christ
And don't do what they do
Don't ignore others in need.

Seize the day,
Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior.
Keep the commandments of Jesus Christ
Be faithful to the end
To someday make it,
Into the eternal promised land.

It's not easy in this life
When people who claim to believe are fake
Don't let that extinguish your faith.
Keep the Holy flame inside your heart alive

Remain in the living true faith,
Be filled with the Holy Spirit tonight,
Continue as always to do what is right.
Keeping the commandments of Jesus Christ.
Even though we are saved by grace,
Elohim still wants us to keep the commandments

For a time will come,
When all will answer to the living God.
A time will come,
When all will answer to the living God...

and forfeits his soul?
Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?


Mark 8:36-38 (ESV)

36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?

37 For what can a man give in return for his soul?

38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous
and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed
when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

1 John 2:15-17 (ESV)


Do Not Love the World

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world the desires of the flesh
and the desires of the eyes
and pride of life is not from the Father but is from the world.

17 And the world is passing away along with its desires,
but whoever does the will of God abides forever.




1 John 2 (ESV)

Christ Our Advocate

1 My little children,
I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.
But if anyone does sin,
we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

2 He is the propitiation for our sins,
and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.

4 Whoever says I know him but does not keep his commandments is a liar,
and the truth is not in him,

5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected.
By this we may know that we are in him:

6 whoever says he abides
in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

The New Commandment

7 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment,
but an old commandment that you had from the beginning.
The old commandment is the word that you have heard.

8 At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you,
which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away
and the true light is already shining.

9 Whoever says he is in the light
and hates his brother is still in darkness.

10 Whoever loves his brother abides in the light,
and in him there is no cause for stumbling.

11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness
and walks in the darkness,
and does not know where he is going,
because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

12 I am writing to you, little children,
because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.

13 I am writing to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men,
because you have overcome the evil one.
I write to you, children,
because you know the Father.

14 I write to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
because you are strong,
and the word of God abides in you,
and you have overcome the evil one.


Do Not Love the World

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world the desires of the flesh
and the desires of the eyes
and pride of life is not from the Father but is from the world.

17 And the world is passing away along with its desires,
but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
Warning Concerning Antichrists

18 Children, it is the last hour,
and as you have heard that antichrist is coming,
so now many antichrists have come.
Therefore we know that it is the last hour.

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us,
they would have continued with us.
But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.

20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.

21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth,
but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?
This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

23 No one who denies the Son has the Father.
Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also.

24 Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you.
If what you heard from the beginning abides in you,
then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father.

25 And this is the promise that he made to us eternal life.

26 I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.

27 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you,
and you have no need that anyone should teach you.
But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true,
and is no lie”just as it has taught you, abide in him.

Children of God

28 And now, little children, abide in him,
so that when he appears we may have confidence
and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.

29 If you know that he is righteous,
you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

          
         
           Hebrews 4:11-13 (ESV)
           
           
           11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest,
           so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.
          
           12 For the word of God is living and active,
           sharper than any two-edged sword,
           piercing to the division of soul and of spirit,
           of joints and of marrow, and discerning
           the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
           
           13 And no creature is hidden from his sight,
           but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him
           to whom we must give account.
           
           

           Matthew 7:21-23 (ESV)

           21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven,
           but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

           22 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?'

           23 And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me,
           you workers of lawlessness.'
 


           Hebrews 10:26-31 (ESV)

           26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth,
           there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

           27 but a fearful expectation of judgment,
           and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.

           28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses
           dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.
 
           29 How much worse punishment, do you think,
           will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God,
           and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified,
           and has outraged the Spirit of grace?

           30 For we know him who said, Vengeance is mine; I will repay.
           And again, The Lord will judge his people.

           31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.



           Ephesians 4:30 (ESV)

           30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,
           by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.


           1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 (ESV)

           19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies,
           21 but test everything; hold fast what is good.



           2 Timothy 3 (ESV)

           Godlessness in the Last Days

           1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.
           2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive,
           disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
           3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,
           4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,


           5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.


           6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women,
           burdened with sins and led astray by various passions,
           7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
           8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth,
           men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith.
           9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all,
           as was that of those two men.



           Luke 6:32-34 (ESV)

           32 If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you?
           For even sinners love those who love them.
           33 And if you do good to those who do good to you,
           what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
           34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive,
           what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners,
           to get back the same amount.



           Matthew 5:43-48 (ESV)

           43 You have heard that it was said,
           'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

           44 But I say to you,
           Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

           45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.
           For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good,
           and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

           46 For if you love those who love you,
           what reward do you have?
           Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

           47 And if you greet only your brothers,
           what more are you doing than others?
           Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

           48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.


           Luke 10:25-37 (ESV)

           25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying,
           Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

           26 He said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it?

           27 And he answered, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
           and with all your soul and with all your strength
           and with all your mind,
           and your neighbor as yourself.

           28 And he said to him,
           You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.

           29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus,
           And who is my neighbor?

           30 Jesus replied, A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
           and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed,
           leaving him half dead.

           31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road,
           and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.

           32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him,
           passed by on the other side.
           
           33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed,
           came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion.

           34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine.
           Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

           35 And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper,
           saying,
           'Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.'

           36 Which of these three, do you think,
           proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?

           37 He said, The one who showed him mercy.And Jesus said to him,
           You go, and do likewise.

    A very lengthy analysis of many " Christians" today !
    If Jesus Christ is your personal Savior, it will show !
    It is very simple to detect the fake.
    Faith without works is dead, not your works but by the Holy Spirit !
    You can't be a secret Christian.
    You must work the works of God in you life !
    Its a wonderful life to be In Christ, yes difficult but rewarding !
    And as the years go by it is just sweeter and sweeter !
    Bravo Jer 29 :11
