Proof Of Your Love For God.

Do you love God? If you truly love God, what is the proof of your love? True love cannot be hidden; it is expressed in words and actions. It is not enough to sing and say that you love God; you must also put action to it. This article gives you the evidences of love for God.

If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands – John 14:15 (AMP) 

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 (NKJV)

Often times I meet people who claim to love God but their words and especially their actions say otherwise. True love is not self-seeking, it desires to please whom it loves. If you love God you will long to do what pleases Him all the time. 

 

Jesus, our perfect example loved God and man and He proved it by His actions. He did nothing for His own benefit. It was for God and man all the time. He said that His father has never left Him because He always did what pleased Him – John 8:29

And of course, all the way to Calvary, He went for man. He was wounded for our transgression; He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed – Isaiah 53:5

You can’t love someone and the person will not know it, because if you truly do so, you will show it. God too knows when you really love Him, because your words and especially your actions will express it. God is the God of knowledge; by Him actions are weighed – 1 Samuel 2:3. So, how will God know that you truly love Him?

Proof of your love for God

·         Obedience

Your obedience to God and His words is the number one evidence of your love for Him. Christ Himself said, “If you love me, keep my commandments”. You can’t love God and be disobedient to His commands. God cannot be mocked, He who made ears and eyes can certainly hear and see the things that you do.
