One ceases to be dangerous to others when he moves into the realm of love. Every migration out of the realm of love is into a danger land. Love becomes beautiful and very attractive as we continue to abide in love and let love abide in us. As love takes over the kingdom of our spirit, then that wonderful passage in II Corinthians 5:14-15 becomes a living reality: For the love of Christ constraineth us (or better, For the love of Christ has gained control, has taken us over), because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died; and he died for all, that I whom he has made alive, should no longer live unto myself but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again. Pauls friends had challenged him. They said he was beside himself, but the love of Christ has so set him on fire that he was slowly burning up. His very being was saturated with the passion that drove Jesus to the cross. Now you can understand 1 Cor.10:24 Let no man seek his own, but each his neighbors good. When Love is at white heat, selfishness stops reigning. What an unhappy thing it is for selfishness to have any part in the government of this New Creation. Selfishness is as deadly poison. It is poison to the spirit. It is poison to the Body of Christ. It causes practically all the diseases in the body. It is a strange thing how selfishness has never been feared by man. He fears it in the other man but not in himself. It is the cause of all the wars that have come; of all the strikes, the battle between labor and capital, and the strife in politics. That thing born in the Garden has grown so mighty that it governs the nations of the earth, and Love is the only thing that can destroy it. 1 John 4:16 was one of the hardest scriptures that ever faced me. It didnt seem to me that I could ever enter into it. And we know and have believed the love which God hath in our case. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God in him. Here are three great facts. First, I have come to believe in Love. I believe it is best to let it govern my life. I have come to believe that it is the best method of ruling a home, a business, a government. You know only a few folks believe in Love. They believe in force; they believe in intrigue; they believe in sense knowledge arguments. If in your heart you believe that the Love way is best, then act it. Not only is it best, but it is your way. It is the way you are going to walk regardless of how anyone else walks; you are going to walk the Love way, and when you do, you discover you are living in the Love Realm. Your home is in Love. Whenever you step out of Love, you step into darkness and unhappiness, and so you have learned to stay in the Love way. You found that living in Love is actually living in the highest, sweetest fellowship with the Father. It is actually living with Him. He has come into you....E.W Kenyon.
