LOVE LIKE, GOD
HOW DO WE LOVE LIKE GOD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER?
THE BIBLE ANSWER, LOVE ONE ANOTHER JUST LIKE JESUS CHRIST LOVES, YOU, HIS CHURCH:
Elder James R, Winfree, Sr. God's Kingdoms Messenger, Our Lord Jesus Christ, Churches & Believing Nations Transformation Apostle:
FIRST AND, FOREMOST, GOD IS LOVE IN THE PERSON JESUS CHRIST!!!
Love requires action. It's not something we try to get for ourselves, but instead is an action we express to others through sharing and serving.
I know there are different forms of love, God has instructed us to demonstrate, or "live out." And each one needs to be balanced, so they can work together. As you read on, consider whether each one is well-balanced in your life or needs some adjustments.
Love God First In Christ Jesus
Deuteronomy 6:5 says You shall love the Lord your God with All your heart and mind and with All your soul and with All your strength. Jesus later repeats this and even labels it the most important commandment of All.
So, how do you express love for God? By telling God, "I love You"? Singing praises to Him? These are good things, but they only scratch the surface.
We show God we love Him through obedience because actions definitely speak louder than words. It’s tough, and we won’t always feel like we want to obey. But I know our desire for obedience grows as we continue to experience His love, goodness, and faithfulness in our lives in Christ
Love Yourself
In the New Testament, Jesus said the greatest commandment of all is to love God with All our hearts. But He also added the second greatest commandment: You shall love your neighbors as yourself. ( Read Mark Chapter 12:31.)
There's something important here that I know spiritual leaders and, Believers often miss: You cannot give away something you don't have in you. How can someone love another person if they don't love themselves?
We all need to accept ourselves, our personalities and imperfections, knowing that although we are not where we need to be, we are making progress. God wants us to love ourselves and our identity in Jesus Christ!
First Love Your Heavenly Spiritual Family And, Others
God's love is a gift to us; it's in us, but we need to release it to others through words and actions. Left dormant, it will stagnate like a pool of water with no outlet.
1 John 3:14 says We know that we have passed out of death into life because we love the brothers 9( And our sisters ). Whoever does not love abides in death.
Life, in this verse, is the life of God or "life as God has it." And loving our brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord first and others is the only way to keep that God-Kind of Love flowing through you. I don't want to be one of what I call "the lifeless dead", someone who dear and no life or love, but never truly loves as God desires in Jesus Christ.
The act of loving your heavenly family in Christ our Savior and Lord first and others is one of the most exhilarating things I have experienced. I feel excitement stirring in my spirit when I do something to make my spiritual loved ones else feel loved and cared for. And You can experience the same exhilaration just by "Loving Out Loud."
Here's a challenge: Think of your brothers and your sisters in the Lord you know who could really use an action of God's love. Then think of creative ways you can express His love for God's sons and daughters, and do it! I guarantee you will feel a wonderful sense of fulfillment and joy afterward.
How You Can Continue to Grow in Love In Christ
If you will devote yourself to developing your love walk in the Lord Jesus Christ Holy Spirit, you will experience a huge amount of blessings in your lives, my heavenly family.
I encourage you to seek God about this and ask the Holy Spirit to help you grow in your love toward Jesus Christ, yourself and His Church, and others. He will help you overcome anything that might hinder you in the process. Remember, God, Is Love. And He loves you In Christ Jesus. Amen.
