DO YOU LOVE GOD?
TEXT:
1John.5.3 The proof that we love God comes when we keep his commandments and they are not at all troublesome. (MSB)
ASKING an average man who claims to be a Christian or probably who goes to church of he loves the Lord, the obvious answer one would get is a resounding YES! Sometimes, we say things that are deep without actually being serious about them, probably because we do not have a full understanding. Jesus asked Peter same question and he kept on give him a "yes" until Peter realized that it's deeper than just words, it's action!
THERE'S a proof of love, and it's by the proof it becomes obvious that there's love in a relationship. God showed his love over us by gifting us his child and that's the proof of his love. The scripture above says the proof that we love God comes from obedience to him. In other words, we know you love the Lord when we see your obedience to his will!
CHECK it now, do you actually love God? Are you sure you're obedient to him? You may ask, what is God's commandments? There are his commandments; 1. Love the Lord with the whole of your heart and 2. Love your brother as yourself. We know you love the Lord when you obey this. You can't love if you live in unforgivingness, how can you claim to love the Lord when you bittered even to yourself? God is asking you today again DO YOU LOVE GOD?
THINK TANK:
If you love God, the proof will clear your conscience!
PRAYER:
FATHER, TEACH ME TO LOVE YOU IN JESUS NAME.
