Two Kinds of Love If we say we love Jesus, do we love Jesus because we like Him or we like the blessings Jesus gives? There was this great man called Job. He was a rich man and loved God dearly. The Bible depicts the conversation between God and satan. Satan said Job’s love for God is based on the materialistic blessing God had given him. Hence God allowed satan to remove his material blessing to test if Job would still love Him. But Job’s love for God never ceased even though he lost everything. At times we too go through tough times in life. We lose our health or wealth or our situation becomes sour. That does not mean God does not love us. Jesus loved us first. He died for us to forgive us from our past mistakes. Bible says God so loved us, he gave his one and only son. Yes, dear friend. God loved us more than his son. He cared for us. Hence He wanted to provide a way for us to reach heaven. God sent His son Jesus to die on the cross so that all of our mistakes can be forgiven. We love God because of His supreme sacrifice and we thank & praise God for his blessing. Bible says Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
The great man Paul wrote, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Bible says Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. This is God’s greatest expectation from all of us in return for His love. Shall we pray together? Dear God, I found the reason why I find it difficult to follow your teaching. I am not loving you enough. I often come to you only for my needs and for blessings. Help me to love you more and be thankful for all the blessings you have given me. You have done a supreme sacrifice by dying on the cross for my mistakes. I have done so many wrong things in my life. Thank you for forgiving my past. Thank you, Jesus, for all you have done for me. Thank you for your love. I love you for all you have done for me in spite of my weaknesses and my needs. You know my needs and I believe in faith you will fulfill all them very soon. I continue to put my hope on you. In Jesus’s name, I pray.
