Passing Over Love

Luke 11:42 "But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."
This sermon from Pastor J.D. Montieth teaches the importance of love in the Christian life and how carnal men will often choose success in the world over love for God and His people: "It is love for God and His people that is the essence and totality of all true religion, yet it is often so neglected that it cannot even be lightly observed in those who profess that they are Christ’s. Nowhere is faith in Jesus Christ more distorted than when His first two commandments are absent in His Church.
"If you asked most, even many who claim to be religious, success carries more weight in their hearts than manifesting and following Christ’s commands to love. Non-spiritual men pursue worldly gain and acknowledgment over love for God and their neighbor. Whenever men pass over love, this shows that they have set aside Christ’s commands and replaced them with human desires. No man should think that he has come to know anything of God or that he knows God if love is not the dominant principle that rules his life. He who does not love does not know God.
"That which takes the place of love for God in the last days will be the love of self. Hence, men’s deepest affection will either be themselves or the Lord, as no man can successfully love himself and, at the same time, love God fervently. He who loves God will love Him more than himself, just as he who loves himself will do so more than he loves God. Ultimately, all men will love someone; it is whom they love that will determine their eternal destiny.
"True disciples of Christ possess what those in the world do not: love for the people of God. It is by this divine love that all the world shall see who Christ’s true disciples are."
