John 14:23– Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.”
Many times, we hear people say (as well as ourselves to others) that we love God. Although this may be true in our minds, is it actually true in our hearts? We can check that by really looking at John 14:23. It tells us that the evidence of loving God/Christ is by obeying the teachings. How does that happen? By taking time and spending time in your bible and reflecting the words and actions of those leading the examples of God’s standards. By obeying the word that also brings forth the love from God and allows the Holy Spirit to dwell within you. These are crucial times that we are living in and the word “love” is being thrown around so easily. The term “Christian” is being mocked on a daily basis. People are tying to find love and real Christians. By really embedding this verse into our mind and hearts, we can show both to those around us. You can always check your love according to your obedience of God’s word. Spread The Soup!
