WAYS WE CAN SHOW OUR LOVE TO CHRIST.
(John 14:15) If ye love me, keep my
commandments.
* INTRODUCTION:
a. God gave to Moses a serious commandment to love Him by His people.
(Deuteronomy 6:5-9) [5]And thou shalt love the LORD
thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
[6]And these words, which I
command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
[7]And thou shalt teach them
diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine
house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when
thou risest up.
[8]And thou shalt bind them for a
sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
[9]And thou shalt write them upon
the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
b. Even though we do not see God we still love God. Just to see all the
creation that we see with our own eyes know that there is creator powerful God
in this World.
(I Peter 1:8) Whom having not seen, ye love; in
whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable
and full of glory:
1. WE CAN SHOW OUR LOVE TO CHRIST BY OBEYING HIS
COMMANMENTS.
(Hebrews 11:7-8) [7]By faith Noah, being warned of
God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving
of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the
righteousness which is by faith.
[8]By faith Abraham, when he was
called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance,
obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
2. WE CAN SHOW OUR LOVE TO CHRIST BY FAITHFUL WORSHIPING
GOD IN OUR LIFE.
(Acts 2:46-47) [46]And they, continuing daily
with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat
their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
[47]Praising God, and having
favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as
should be saved.
* King David was a good model in faithfulness in wordhipping God.
(Psalms 122:1) I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go into the house of the LORD.
3. WE CAN SHOW OUR LOVE TO CHRIST SERVING GOD WITH
FAITHFULNESS.
(I Timothy 1:12) And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord,
who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the
ministry;
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord,
who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the
ministry;
4. WE CAN SHOW OUR LOVE TO CHRIST FOLLOWING HIS STEP.
( IPeter 2:21) For even hereunto were ye called:
because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should
follow his steps:
5. WE CAN SHOW OUR LOVE TO CHRIST BY SUPPORTING THE
MISSIONARIES OF GOD.
(Philippians
4:15-16) [15]Now ye
Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed
from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and
receiving, but ye only.
[16]For even in Thessalonica ye
sent once and again unto my necessity.
a. Philippians Church support the Missionaries of Christ again and
again.
b. The Missionaries of the Lord Jesus Christ are always inspired to
served the Lord and become very fruitful in their Ministry.
(I Corinthians
9:19-22)
[19]For though I be free from all
men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
[20]And unto the Jews I became as
a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the
law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
[21]To them that are without law,
as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,)
that I might gain them that are without law.
[22]To the weak became I as weak,
that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by
all means save some.
* God bless you all always *
