The Proof of Genuine Love for God

_*The Proof of Genuine Love for God*_


*"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these."*

♡Mark 12:30-31♡


Loving God wholeheartedly means giving Him our entire being, not just our actions. It involves an attitude of the heart that shows itself in our relationships with others. It is not just about our religious practices such as Bible reading, prayer, or holiness.


Jesus said in John 13:35, *"By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."* This means that our love for God is reflected in the way we treat and love others. Our love for God should motivate us to show love, kindness, and compassion to those around us, especially our family and friends.


In 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, Paul tells us that even if we do great things, such as preaching, winning souls, performing miracles, or feeding the poor, without love, it is all meaningless. We can do these things for selfish reasons or for the wrong motives, but if we do not have love for others, it profits us nothing.


Therefore, genuine love for God is revealed in our ability to convince our family and others of our love for them. This means that we should make a conscious effort to show love to those around us, not just through our actions but also through our attitudes and words.


In summary, to love God wholeheartedly means to give Him our entire being and to show love to others. Our love for God should motivate us to treat others with love, kindness, and compassion. Without love for others, all our religious practices and good works are meaningless. Let us, therefore, strive to love God and others with all our hearts, minds, and souls, and trust in Him to help us do so.

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
