"Love" by Pastor Seth Buckner

                 So much is said today about loving the Lord, but loving God extends beyond mere verbal assent.  We need to realize that love is expressed most clearly in our actions.  Men, your wife or girlfriend like to hear that they are loved, but if you never show it, they will cease to believe what they are hearing.  The love for God in a Christian will make a child of God do many things for the cause of Christ.

                Love for Christ produces faithfulness.  Many believers who say they love God but then rarely show up to worship Him at His house.  If I rarely come home to my wife, she is not going to feel like I truly love her, and if I rarely show up at church, the same can be said about my love for Jesus.  We should be faithful in our walk for God as well as our witnessing about God.  Love produces faithfulness.

                Love for Christ produces fellowship.  The more love that I have for Jesus Christ, the more I will want to fellowship with Him.  Revelation 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”  If I fall in love with Jesus, I will also enjoy the company of those that also love Jesus.  I John 4:20, “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?”

                Love for Christ produces fullness in our joy.  I know from personal experience that the closer I get to Jesus, the more joyful I become.  You cannot draw close to the Man of Peace without experiencing peace!  My challenge for this week is not just to talk about our love for God, but to go out and show that love in our walk.  Whenever you see a young man or young woman in love, it always affects their actions.  They want to be around the one they love all the time. Our world needs some Christians that will so fall in love with Jesus that their actions are changed. 

Happy Valentine's Day!
