Contagious Love

Love spreads

Have you noticed how easy it is for people to ‘catch’ attitudes off other people? This phenomenon is particularly evident in children, but adults exhibit it as well. The Bible says that “Bad company corrupts good character” (1 Corinthians 15:33). The good news
is that it’s not just bad attitudes that can spread, but positive and helpful ones. The first church at Jerusalem fostered a culture of love that was not only profound but also contagious. The selfless and sacrificial nature of Agape love created an environment where individuals were inspired to replicate such love in their own lives. This pervasive love acted as a magnet, drawing more people into the community and encouraging them to adopt the same principles. The believers' commitment to love, irrespective of personal feelings, demonstrated a powerful and infectious way of living that had a lasting impact on those they encountered. Spread the love today!
