GOD’S LOVE LANGUAGE 5 (The Root of the Matter)
‘Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him‘ John 14:23 (NKJV)
In this discussion I revealed that, God, made you to receive His love and to express His love.
Thus, just as you are loved by God, you are also to love the Lord.
Nevertheless, your love for God is not as unconditional as His love for you.
This is because, God’s love is the condition of your love.
And there is no way your love for God will be unconditional, because God has no imperfection. He is all perfect and glorious.
So your understanding of God’s love language, must be on the premise of His love expressed towards you.
“To Keep His commandments” is an expression or a product of the love of God in you.
Four times in the same Chapter Jesus mentioned “Keeping His commandment or Word” as His love language.
Verse 15: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”
Verse 21: “Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me.”
Verse 23: “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word.”
Verse 24: “Whoever does not love me does not keep my words.”
Again, from these four verses, you see that, the commandments you are to keep, are not some lists of rules and regulations. Neither are they the Ten Commandments.
The commandments you are to keep are the Words of Jesus to you (who is loved by Him).
And we have seen that His commandments are not burdensome (we will look more into His commandments).
Now all through the four verses above, you find the word LOVE (You love me; who loves me; anyone loves me; and love me…)
Understand that the root of your love is the Lord.
For whoever, or anyone that loves the Lord is first LOVED BY HIM. (See 1 John 4:19)
In other words, God’s love is the harbinger and the enablement of your Love.
Therefore, those outside Christ cannot love the Lord. They cannot keep His commandments or words. Because to keep His Word is a unique, personal, intimate, affectionate, caring, and committed responds of God’s love, that belongs only to those who are loved specially by Jesus.
Beloved, this is an exciting journey, stay glued as we answer the questions:
How do I Keep His Commandments?
What are the details of His commandments in the scriptures?
Are there people Specially Loved by God?
DIG DEEPER
(1 John 4:10; Luke 7:47; Romans 5:8; John 13:34)
WE PRAY
That our hearts will be set more and more on the love of God within us and to express this love towards Him and all who are loved by Him.
