Loving Jesus

 

What do you love when you say, “I love Jesus?” How does another person recognize someone that loves Jesus. There are always some common attributes in the saved person who loves Jesus.

  1. They love the Truth - John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus said that He is the truth. He isn't saying that He tells the truth, although He does do that. He is the truth! He is the office of standards for truth, the very benchmark of truth.
  2. They love Obedience - John 14:23 - Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. John 15:14 - Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 
  3. They love life - John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus is the life. He isn't simply stating that He is alive. He is the source, the origin of life from the lowest vegetable plane of life to the highest spiritual plane of life.
  4. They love peace - John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. The peace He is talking about here is not the peace of sins forgiven. This is the wonderful peace that comes to the heart of those who are fully yielded to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the peace of heart and mind of those who are in the will of God.
  5. They love Christians - 1 John 4:20 - If a man says, 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? If we do not love our brother, then we do not love God either.
