Have Christians lost true affection for one another?

(1/1)

RickH:
It seems that there is a distraction from the things of God among His people, especially His love when it comes to each other. A loss of Godly affection, true brotherly love, the caring for others and any anguish and contrition for harming one another and forgetting what we have been given, to love your neighbor.

Instead Christians, have turned into the type of person who is beyond experiencing guilt, shame, or regret for their terrible actions against others, because they loose Godly affection and all they care about is themselves and nobody else.. They have become ‘remorseless', and 'uncaring', with only the things of self.

They form a character defined by narcissism with an exaggerated sense of self-importance, looking for others to focus on them and give them worldly 'praise' and 'honor'. Many forget what God in His Word tells us...

1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

2 Timothy 2:24-25
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

Signs of the end for sure
The wheat and the tares growing up together

A new commandment I give you, that you love one another.  ( not really new but it was new to them )

It’s the secret ingredient in all Godly things.  Love 💕

Richard Myers:
And from 1 John 3:

 3:9   Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 
 3:10   In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 
 3:11   For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 
 3:12   Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. 
 3:13   Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 
 3:14   We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not [his] brother abideth in death. 
 3:15   Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 
 3:16   Hereby perceive we the love [of God], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren. 
 3:17   But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 
 3:18   My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
