Love suffers long and Is Kind; Love Does Not envy; Love Does Not parade itself, is not puffed up; Does Not behave rudely, Does Not seek its own, is not provoked, Thinks No Evil; Does Not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

-1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NKJV)

 

The phrase thinks no evil. What does it really mean when Paul says that love “thinks no evil”? Good Question.

In the Greek New Testament, the word thinks is actually a bookkeeping term. It’s a word that means “to take into account” or “to write down as a permanent record.” Which is exactly what a good book keeper or accountant does. They write things down as a permanent record.

 

In accounting, keeping permanent records is vital. But in relationships, it’s deadly! If we’re going to know the love of Jesus Christ and live in the fullness of that love and grace, we need to delete those negative relational files we’ve collected over the years! Why you ask, because this is what Jesus has done for us (Romans 5:13).

The Bible says that God has not imputed sin to us. Aren’t you glad? When it came to settling the score Jesus took OUR SINS that were written down against us upon the Cross. Jesus died and rose again on the third day and because of what Jesus has done for us, God has forgiven and forgotten our sin. It is deleted…forever gone.

My grandfather Evangelist, Dr. Sainz told me I must keep short accounts of wrongs done to me and my family, then empty the trash of our brain, because love doesn’t keep score and love doesn’t settle the score. Love thinks no evil…but thinks the best.

 

Have you made the decision to follow Jesus Christ and have your sins deleted, if not what’s stopping you. You can pray this simple prayer inviting Jesus Christ into your heart. Jesus, I am a sinner, I believe you are the Son of God and I ask that you delete all of my sins and wash me clean, I accept you as my Lord and Savior, In Jesus Mighty Name.

If you prayed that prayer I rejoice with you and welcome you to the family of God.

If you need help message me and together we will beat up the Devil.

To God Be The Glory.
