Jesus declared, and is declaring, Him as the Righteous, Holy, Good, Merciful, Loving Father, whose love is Unique, Unmeasurable, Unlimited, Unselfish, Unsparing, Uncompromising and Unending.
They worship Jesus, honour Jesus, fellowship with Jesus, centre their love on Jesus and reflect the Father's love to Jesus.
Above all others, they love the Family of God and their own, except that they are filled with the Father's love for the lost, and give themselves to winning them to Christ. Very often, their consuming love for sinners will come before their beloved family and home comforts.
His love is the energy of their never tiring labours of love.
Not only is the Father's love in God's usable people, but Christ is in them by His Spirit. He says, "and I in them". Just as He revealed the Father's love to the world in His earthly ministry, so now, in His own, He is giving continued revelation of the Father.
I think it is possible to be a believer and not be usable. That is, one who accepts and owns Christ as Saviour, but in actual manner of life, is taken up fully with mundane things and a materialistic life-style, and without love. Be assured, it is not possible to be a true follower of Jesus and have His love, and be unusable.
There is no doubt about the fact that all God's people are gifted (Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12:7-10 ) both naturally and supernaturally. What makes them recognizable, is the badge of discipleship, which is love.
They have love for one another. They have love for the Lord Jesus. They have love for His Word and obey it. They have the love of Jesus in them. They have the love of the Father for Jesus. They have the love of the Father in them for saints and sinners. The Holy Spirit is mobilizing the body of Christ in these last days, to make the greatest impact ever on the world. In these days of renewal, all believers are to be found busy in their calling and labour for Jesus.
Are you responding wholeheartedly? Can the signs of God's usable people be seen in your life? Can each specific kind of love, and requirement be seen in your life? Are you among the usable? Among the vital, living body of Christ you can be recognized and used, and the prayer of the Lord Jesus will be answered.
