FAITH CAPSULE: What does it take to pay back for the love of God?
1 Timothy 4
God cares for all and gives His love.
In the given of the love of God is His begotten Son.
John 3:16-17 records, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
Do you know or know about the love of God?
To know the love of God is identified in 1John5:3, “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments.”
Keeping the commandment of God is doing His will, obeying the word of God.
Jesus, the love of God for all, is here.
Jesus is the begotten son of God is here.
Now that He is here, what does it take to pay back for the love of God?
Believing in God and living by His commandment is what it takes to pay back to God for His love for all.
To be living life by the commandment of God is one that believes in the love of God.
Living life for God demands a sacrificial commitment to obey the commandment of God.
With God, there is a set standard for every area of His expectation for living life by His command.
Deuteronomy 6:5, identifies the standard expectation of living life by the standard of the command of God, “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”
Through the pages of the Bible, living life by the standard of God to live a fulfilled life and accomplish great exploits to the glory of God.
Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, and some demonstrated the love of God and were able to do great exploits to the glory of God.
Do you know or know about the love of God?
One that does not know God does not accept Him.
A failure to accept the Lord Jesus, the gift of God for all, is not mindful of God also with the spirit of forgetfulness.
One that is not mindful of God does not give attention to God to gain the attention of God.
Give attention to God, gain His attention, and know that the glamorous celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ does not count before God.
Be living life for God with a meaningful celebration.
Keep in mind, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
The purpose of His birth for all is to believe in Him and not perish.
It is an error not to believe in Him celebrating Him.
Unfortunately, celebrating the birth of Jesus is colorful everywhere but lacks understanding among celebrants.
Understandably, believe in Him, to celebrate Him as the Gift of God for all man.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to live a life celebrating God for His glory.
