Mark 12:30 “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’”…
If we love righteousness; if we love truth; if we love justice, then it is easy to love Jesus. Jesus represents goodness, mercy, unconditional love. He is the person that you can take at their word. Sometimes people will say things with an ulterior motive. For instance, many people looking online for love have been told by someone that they love them. However, their proclamation of love is many times followed up by a request for money. This has become a very prevalent scam today.
Jesus says things that are designed to give us all that we need to live an abundant life here and to be able to spend eternity with him. He says greater love has no man than this that a man lay down His life for His friends (Jon 15:13). 2 Timothy 4:8 “ Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me on that Day — and not to me only, but unto all those also who love His appearing.” If you find yourself yearning for the return of the Lord; If you are concerned about the state of the world and know that only Jesus can fix it; if you love the Lord’s appearing, you will be given a crown.
There is no other person in the world who has lived a sin free life. We can safely put our trust in Jesus knowing that everything He says is the truth. When we receive the Holy Spirit, we receive the Spirit of Truth. The Holy Spirit will lead and guide us if we let Him. He will show us the path for our lives. We are being prepared as the bride of Christ. Ephesians 5:27 – “That He might present to Himself the church In all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.”
Study the words of Jesus so that you may know who He is. When we know who He is and how righteous He is, and all that He stands for, it makes it much easier to love Him.
