High Time - Love not War

Romans 13: 8-11 best explains High Time

* 8. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
* 9. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
* 10. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therfore love is the fulfilling of the law.
* 11. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

High Time is now and the answer is love. The solution is not as easy as it sounds because these are the characteristics of love:

1. is long-suffering (doesn’t give up and is there until the end)
2. is kind (self explanatory)
3. is not envious (this is where most fall short of love)
4. is humble and does not promote itself
5. does not behave itself in an unbecoming fashion (not, I shouldn’t have to… call, check-in etc.)
6. does not seek its own things (unselfish)
7. is not easily provoked (another stumbling block)
8. believes the best of people; it “thinketh no evil” (stop calling people evil)

(attributes taken from 1 Cor 13: 4-8, 8:1; 1 Thess. 5:22; Phil. 2:20-21; John 18:23)

It’s High Time; time to wake up because the time is nearer than we even though. The time is now and the answer is love not war.
