Are we truly in love with Christ, or do we just love Him? Do we love to celebrate His mercy, pardon, grace, and love; yet cower in silence at His justice and demands of perfection? Do we love merely to love the goodness of God; or do we like the new bride seek to please Him and truly follow? The Bible says clearly that those who obey God are those that truly love Him. The measure of a man's love is not just within his wallet, or that which he speaks to believe, but that which he is, and that which he does. Does what you do speak of love for the Savior? Or are they vestiges of a dead faith?
No man can earn his way into God's favor with deeds and with offerings of sacrifices. A man can only gain acceptance into God's favor by a living breathing faith which expresses itself through obedience.

Indeed. Obediance stemming from a set jaw accomplishes little as it is a work of the flesh. Obediance stemming from a genuine love for and delight in Jesus Christ empowered and lead by His SpiritChrist can change the world.

No matter how much I love Him it is never enough. I know I can never give what he is truly worthy of receiving~ STC, you are so right about us seeking to please Him. Something I need to do more and more of~ |

Very good post!
He loves us. We love him back, with all our hearts and soul and might. I love to pray and spend time talking with Jesus...He's comforting. But there's times too, that I think are as equally as important, when I do nothing but just sit quietly with my eyes closed and concentrate on Him. How much I love Him. How much He loves me. Pounding down my own doubts to smaller stones. Feeling thankfulness for Him. Understanding that He's my Friend. My Carpenter. My King. My Saviour. My Lamb of God. My Alpha. My Omega.
