WHAT IS LOVE?

How do you LOVE God? Jesus commanded us to love God with all of our heart, mind, and soul. We were created to be in relationship with our Creator and to love Him to the point that His glory becomes our desire and purpose. What is love and what does that look like?

Can I just tell ya something?  You can bet it is more than singing songs or wearing Jesus t-shirts. Actions really do speak louder than words so what do we DO?

Jesus said showing compassion “to the least of these” is the same as if you were doing a kind thing directly for Him. Showing compassion for others makes us look more like Jesus and illustrates a love of God in your heart.

To love God with our mind is to chase after knowing more about Him. The more we study God’s Word, the greater our understanding will be of WHO God is. A greater knowledge of God and His ways further prepares us to live out the beauty and hope of the Gospel of Jesus.

Obedience to God’s Biblical standard illustrates our love for God through our soul AND provides us with great joy, reward, and satisfaction. It is the life abundant God has in mind for us.

Love is much more than a feeling of fondness, affection, or romance. Love is beautiful and complicated and a gift created by God. God’s love for us is the example we are to follow.

What it will take for us to follow God’s example is quite evident: it will require more of God in our lives and less of ourselves. #MásDeTi
