Incorruptible Love

Eph 6:23-24 Peace be to the brethren and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
:24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with a love incorruptible.

The word incorruptible is one that speaks strongly to me.
The meaning is (861) unending existence (eternal) derived from (862) which means undecaying, immortal, perpetuity (lasting throughout eternity)
It makes me think of 1 John 4:10 that says that we love You because You loved us first.

Paul first prays peace, love with faith to the brethren.
Then he follows with grace to “all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with a love incorruptible.
Some believers are referred to as “brethren” and others as “to all those who..”.
It is true Father that Your children are in different stages of their spiritual growth and in their relationship with You. You love us all the same, with a love that is pure and eternal.

What does it mean to have an incorruptible love for You? According to the meaning we will love You with a love that does not decay. It never changes or vacillates according to our lives. It is pure, holy and unconditional. Just like Your love for us.

No wonder Paul prays for grace to all those who have this kind of love.
There are many who impact the world and pay a price for it.
Their love does not waver when persecution comes or the time comes that this incorruptible love for Jesus enables them to give their own lives for Him. It is happening every day in these times we are in.

But also this word, incorruptible, made me think of the “no matter what” kind of love.
As stated above, it doesn’t change. No matter what we see in a loved one, in our children, mates, family, co-workers, or friends we still maintain a deep love for them. No matter what tragedies occur, what sufferings believers endure, they still know that You are a faithful God and Father and that You care about them and love them. If anger tempts them to turn that anger toward You, Your grace is always there to keep their heart true to You.
This is truly a working of Your grace.

This kind of love comes only from the Your own love that You have demonstrated to us that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. The more understanding of the Cross and what Jesus did for us, the greater capacity we have to have an incorruptible love for God the Father and Jesus Christ, His Son.

Teach me to have this incorruptible love for You Father that will manifest itself in this world I live in.
