'' If ye love me, keep my commandments.'' John 14:15
Loving God is an art , it is something we have to do day by day , because your love for God is seen on a daily bases ,People can love God and show it the more they walk with God .The children of God always claim to love God , but how far is that love seen or demonstrated in our daily lives . The fact is the more you ,love God the more you are tempted to show that love by the temptations that you face on a daily bases .
If you love God you will automatically keep his commands daily and you will do his will in your life all the time .'' He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. '' James 1:12 The person who loves God has to show that love in the time of temptations and these temptations are on a daily bases and they come in levels . If you are able to overcome temptation at a certain level , you should know that another level of temptation will come , which you must also learn to overcome, with the experience of the first one .
For the purpose of loving God , we are always faced with temptation of all kinds in our lives as the children of God . Every child of God must know this ''And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.'' Romans 5:5 It is the Holy Spirit which helps day by day to love God and obey him and even persevere in the time of crises . People without the Holy Spirit cannot really love God nor obey him when the going gets tough .
The Holy Spirit helps us to love and serve him all the time , so that we will not fall nor stumble in the time of temptations. ''Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. '' Hebrews 10:38-39 If you actually love God , it does not matter the trials , temptations , and tribulations that you face , you still continue to praise and worship him .
Prayer
Lord Jesus help me to love you with the love of God shed in my heart by the Holy Spirit , in the name of Yeshua .
