Empowered to Love


We LOVE him because He first loved us. - 1 John 4:19


          Our love for God starts with knowing and believing in His great love for us! “We love Him BECAUSE...” After seeing and experiencing God’s love for us, we become empowered with ability to LOVE Him back! Jesus said: “If a man loves me, he will keep my words.” You don’t have to be prodded to do the works Jesus said to do when you love Him. You WANT to do His will after experiencing His great love for you!

           Sure there will be opposition from the flesh and the devil trying to get us to go astray, but as we remind ourselves of God’s love for us and our love for him, we will have the advantage, and we will overcome!

          Loving God is not something we do in our own power. Like everything else in our Christian walk, we have grace to do what we are called to do! When our love for God is the reason we are doing His will, the grace of God will also be there to help us live right, resist sin and please our Lord! When living right becomes an “I Love God More” issue, living right won’t be such a drag.

          When people realize that obeying God is loving God and loving God is obeying God, Christianity will be a joyful love experience instead of a duty thing only!
