Sir Isaac Newton was right on so many levels when he stated
one of the Laws of motion thus, “for every action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction”.
In essence the above implies that you give out in equal
(measure) to what you receive! Opposite here implying that though they (action
and reaction) are of equal measure, the receiver becomes the source (or giver,
if I might put it that way).
Hate received results in hate given out, except a LOVE which
supersedes the hate has already been received.
If you doubt the assertion above, I urge you to carefully
look into most cases of abuse – child molesters, rapist and the likes. You will
quickly realize the perpetrators were once victims of some kind of abuse or
traumatic event in time past.
I have often wondered why people who have been cheated on
(in relationships) in time past end up doing the same to another partner later
on, despite experiencing the hurt that comes from that! It is quite
fascinating.
A house struck by lightning will in turn give out the
electricity to the detriment and destruction of appliances in the house and
possibly residents of the said building.
Flowing from the last paragraph, you will note that a house
with a lightning arrestor will simply diffuse the electricity into the ground,
thus preserving everything within the building.
When you meet Christ and experience His love, he becomes
your LIGHTNING ARRESTOR. His love is infinite so No amount of hate can negate
from his Love.
N:B – Mathematically
speaking, subtracting any finite number from infinity still gives you infinity.
Once you’ve genuinely and truly experienced His love, you become only capable
of giving out love.
The scripture says by their fruit we shall know them! (Matthew
7: 15 - 20).
Any believer that gives off anything other than love even to
His enemies hasn’t truly experienced the Love of Christ.
No wonder Christ says in Matthew 5:44; “But I say
unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you”. He also says in Mark 12:31; “And the
second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is
none other commandment greater than these.”
In essence, we can now say that the Love of Christ
entrenched in us helps us live above the law
of equal and opposite, in the context of subject matter as discussed in
this article.
