Hello steemians and welcome to today's celestial challenge initiated by a righteous and insightful Knight @Sirknight. On today's theme tagged "Love, beauty and Freedom, I will quickly talk about 5 Benefits of Walking In Love".
Benefits Of Walking In Love
There are uncountable benefits of walking in love. We stand to gain a lot when we walk in love as it brings peace and joy to you and your community at large. When you walk in love, it means you are walking in obedience to the instructions and directions of God. Even God show us extreme love that while we were yet sinners, He still sent His son down for our sake. Therefore, love is something we all have to exhibit to keep all of God's work together and enjoy a lot of numerous benefits in return. The following are the 5 benefits of walking in love I will talk about today, read and be blessed.
You Will Be Identified With Jesus Christ
God is the creator of love and once you start exhibiting and showing the love of God, the blessings of God will start flowing naturally to you. People will see you as a child of God and this act in turn drives you to bring out the best of your love in there in your heart. In john 13 vs 34-35, it says;
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
You can see that the crux of the new testament is all about walking in love (loving God with your heart and soul) as well as loving your neighbour as yourself. Once you begin to obey the commands of God, people will naturally know you as child of God.
You Will Enjoy The Blessings Of God And Give Him Thanks
It is natural that once you begin to walk in love, all of the blessings of God will begin to flow to you. Just as said in the book of Dueteronomy 28 vs 1-2,
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
Loving unconditinally just like our God will make God's blessing to flow naturally to you.
There Will Be No Delay When You Pray
Most times, the reasons why God doesn't not answer your prayers is because you don't hearken to His commandment. When the Bible talks about love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul, it was talking about you loving the commandments of God. See what John 15 vs 7 says;
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Once you Obey God, and love Him, then of course you may not even need to pray before He forcefully rains down on you what you need. However, when you pray, your prayer comes to the top of the list in His scale of preference and He answers it almost immedyately.
God Will Always Be Present With You

Nothing pays more than obeying the word of God. John 14 vs 23 says;
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Once you start walking in love, you become the carrier of God's presence and fragrance. This will make you become highly confident as nothing can harm you any longer. This means that you will be victorious at all times.
You Will Be Confident On The Day of Judgement
Once you make up your mind to walk in the love of God, you will be highly confident that on the last day, God won't turn His back on you. 1 john chapter 4 vs 17 says;
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Likewise aside this, when people are running heltar sketter, you will be at peace with yourself because you are sure of where you will end up. Ultimately, you won't even fear death at all.
Above are the Five Benefits of Walking In Love.
