Love multiplied

by David Long

"Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied" (Jude 2). When mercy, peace and love multiply, Christians and thus congregations grow and the word of God multiplies. "And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith" (Acts 6:7). "Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied" (Acts 9:31). "But the word of God grew and multiplied" (Acts 12:24). Love multiples when souls are converted to Christ. Christians are spreaders of Christ' love by sowing the seed of the Kingdom. The Bible calls it "euaggelizo" to announce good news ("evangelize") (Acts 8:4).
