Love at Its Best - Christ’s Commission Fellowship

Love at Its Best - Christ’s Commission Fellowship

The church that pleases God is a loving church.

A man asked Jesus what is the greatest commandment. Jesus answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.” Everything that we do must be motivated by our love for the Lord. This love will naturally overflow toward loving others.

Let all that you do be done in love. – 1 Corinthians 16:14

But to do this, you must first know God in a personal way. Everything you do for the Lord will feel like a chore unless you have a personal loving relationship with Jesus.

LET LOVE BE YOUR HIGHEST GOAL

What is your number one goal in life? If comfort, affirmation or having fun matters most to you, then your decisions and priorities will naturally follow. According to the Scripture, love should be your greatest aim (1 Corinthians 14:1). Your number one goal must be love because God is love.

HOW CAN YOU LOVE AT ITS BEST?

1.         Accept God’s Love – 1 John 4:7-8

You love God because He first loved you (1 John 4:19). You cannot love people without God’s love in you. You rely on God’s love (1 John 4:16a) when you find it difficult to love the people around you. We may be tempted to find excuses not to share Jesus with others.

2.         Choose and Commit to Love – Deuteronomy 30:20

You cannot force anyone to love because love is a choice and a commitment. You cannot just fall out of love; you either choose to love or not to love.

3.         Don’t Fall in love but act in love 1 John 3:18

You love God because He first loved you (1 John 4:19). You cannot love people without God’s love in you. You rely on God’s love (1 John 4:16a) when you find it difficult to love the people around you. We may be tempted to find excuses not to share Jesus with others.

4.         Love at all times – Hebrews 13:1

Your character is the sum of your habits. If loving is something you can turn on and off, then you are not loving at all.

The most loving act you can do is share the love of God with others. God loves them and He doesn’t want them to perish. Because you love God, you will love whom He loves. You will obey Him to love others as you love yourself, not out of duty but with delight in action.
