It's all put on the scale to measure the weight of the love of Christ in you towards others!


It's all put on the scale to measure the weight of the love of Christ in you towards others!
Philippians 2:1-11, I John 4
The way you treat others is determined by the weight of measure of revealing the attitude of the Love of Jesus Christ to them to the glory of Jesus Christ; or, the lack of attitude of the spirit of the love of Jesus, which does not have a weight of measure of the love of Jesus, because the weights in the measure were not of the nature of the love of Jesus, but of a selfish self-centered nature of pride, arrogance and boasting for the love of self that reveals a judgmental attitude and a condemning spirit that will tip the scale of the Love of Christ in your disfavor; which ends up all for the glory of self and not to the glory of Jesus! Such a measured weight does not result in joyful eternal outcomes, but rather, the fear and expectation of God turning you away in eternal shame and disfavor.
Or, to put it in a more concise, simplified, compact way of wisdom from the Apostle John, how can you say you love God who you cannot see, and yet, hate your brother whom you can see! IJohn 4:20.
Philippians 2:1-11:
1So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,a 6who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant,b being born in the likeness of men. 8And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

1 John 4:20:
for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
