| "You have to love God more! You must have more
passion for God!” You have probably heard this type of preaching and may
have even tried your best to love God, only to fail miserably. |
|
| But what is the
true definition of love? Let the Bible define it for us: “… this is
love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us…” Yes, it is not about
our love for Him, but His love for
us! |
|
| “Pastor Prince, the Bible says that you must love God
with all your heart, soul and strength!” |
|
| Yes, that is true
according to the law (Deuteronomy 6:5), and even Jesus taught that as
the great commandment when He walked on earth. (Matthew 22:37) But that
was before He died on the cross. At the cross, He became the very
fulfillment of this law for us when He loved us with
all His heart, soul and strength, by laying down His body and life on
the cross for us. |
|
| Today, we are no longer under the law but under
grace. And grace tells us that God loves us, not that we love God. Yet,
we will love Him when we see how much He loves us. The
Bible says that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us! (Romans
5:8) That’s how much He loves us! |
|
| Beloved, God has
seen you trying your best to love Him. And because He loves you, He
wants you to sit down and be still, and let Him love you instead. He
wants to love you with all that He is and all that He has. He loves you
unconditionally regardless of who you are or what you have done because
His love is not dependent on you but on Himself. He will never stop
loving you. |
|
| So let God love you today. Don’t worry about loving Him.
The more of His love you receive, the more you will fall in love with
Him! |
