LOVING GOD
Scripture: Matthew 22:34-40
Devotional:- "Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' (v.37) NKJV
True disciples of Christ must live in true and total love for God and for His fellow brethren. Since Jesus is love personified, our lives should also reflect the image of the son of God. It was love that brought Him to this world. It was love that took him to the cross. It was love that made Him to die in order to redeem us.
Love
produces care and kindness, but much more love makes us to obey the Lord. So
the true evidence of love is submission and obedience (John 14:23-24). In the
scripture we read today, Jesus thought us to love God with all our heart which
means, we are to love God passionately. We are to love God with all our soul
which means to allow Him to direct our total being. We are to love God with all
our mind which means we allow our thinking to agree with that of Jesus (Isaiah
55:8-9)
Jesus said
we should love our neighbor as ourself. Do you observe that you love yourself sincerely
and responsively. The same we should do to others (Ephesians 5:29). That is why
no true disciple of Jesus can hate anyone. When you start to walk in love
towards God and man, then you will be like Christ. Peace
Prayer: Lord,
plant the Spirit of love in me

TO BE LIKE CHRIST“
