#DoYouReallyLoveGod

#Christian #Jesus #God'sWord

We need to love the Lord with all our heart, our soul, our mind and our strength...
But how do we do this?

First we must recognize that no man in His own self can love God.

Yes! No man can OF HIS OWN SELF love God.

1 John 4:19
[19]We love him, because he first loved us.

It is not we who have first loved God. It is God who has first loved us and sent His Son to pay the ransom that Satan demanded for our sinful souls: our death.

John 3:16
[16]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

1 John 4:9-11

[9]In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
[10]Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

 God was in His Son. It was not just the Son of God who was crucified for us but God...
