Just a love toward God can change your life

 

As today is the start of a new month, it is a good thing to have a decision to love God. Why we need to love Him? We need to love Him because He loved us first. (1 John 4: 19). Yes God loved us first and gave His son as a sacrifice for our sins. Jesus could have stayed in heaven and enjoy His Heavenly Kingdom. But He choose to die for the sins we have done against Him. According to the law He suffered and died for our sins and through that His love towards us was shown.

How can we love Him? Of course for the above reason we can love Him. But to know Him and His sacrifice better, you need to study the law and The 10 commandments (Exodus 20). If you feel that you are a perfect person, try reading the commandments and the gospels in New Testaments. Christ has given wonderful and meaningful explanations of the commandments for us to understand that we are sinners. Once you find out you are a sinner and understand that Christ died and suffered for all your sins, you will start loving Him.

Is that enough? In John 14: 15, Jesus told if you love Him, you not only will accept Him as your savior, but also keep Him commandments. Yes, that is the way to show your genuine love and faith towards God. Keep His commandments. Holy Spirit will help you when you take a step and decide to live according to the commands of God (John 14).

Every time and in every situation, you will have a choice. God gave us intelligence to take decision. So in every situation it is up to you to take the right decision whether to go according to the word or according to the world. For that you need to know the word of God. So the first step is to read and meditate the word of God. Then you will understand which way to move forward or The Holy Spirit will guide you in your walk.

By showing your love towards God, you are going to be blessed because you will be taking the right decisions and even if you go the wrong way, you will confess the mistake and return to the way God wants you to move. Just a love toward God can change your life. May God bless you!
