: : : GOD’S LOVE IN OUR HEARTS : : : ** Do you need prayer? We're always available to pray with you! Contact an online mentor (http://thelife.com/experience/need-prayer/) today. : : : : "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1 John 4:8 : : The distinguishing mark of a Christian is their confidence in the love of Christ, and the relenting of their hearts to Christ in return. Faith sets its seal on us by enabling us to praise Jesus who "loved me and gave Himself for me." (Galatians 2:20) Then love will give in return! : : "We love because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19 : : In old days, in the earliest time of the Christian religion, this reciprocal love was clearly seen in Jesus' followers. They were men and women who knew the love of Christ, and rested on it like someone might lean on a trusty cane. The love they felt towards the Lord was not a quiet emotion hidden deep within! They didn't only speak of their love in private meetings on the first day of the week. When they sang hymns in honor of the crucified savior Jesus Christ, it was with a passion that was so enthusiastic and powerful that it shone through in all their actions, their speech, and even the look in their eyes. : : Love to Jesus was a flame which was fueled by the heart of their passion. From there its force burned its way outward to shine brightly into the world. Devotion to the glory of Jesus was the outward sign of all genuine Christians. Due to Christ's love they risked much, and because of their love to Christ they accomplished much. : : And it's still the same today! We, the children of God, are still ruled in our lives by the power of love. The love of Christ should still cause us to rejoice. Do we feel our hearts lit afire by the Holy Spirit, and then by force of the gratitude they feel as the love of the Savior fills our hearts? : : My reader, do you love Him? I urge you not to lay down to sleep tonight before pondering an honest answer to this most important question! : : Question: Do you love Him? : : About this Author: Charles Spurgeon (http://thelife.com/experience/devotionalformen/authors/charles-spurgeon/) : : : Comment on the devotional blog.
