Day 21 - Love Always Has An Action
Matthew 22:37 - 22:40
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
John 14:15
15 “If you love me, keep my commands.
Take a moment to consider - “How does my life show my love for God?”
Often, we can fall into a pattern of rating our spiritual life by our church activity, or what we know about the Bible, or how long we've been a Christian.
The Bible tells a different story though. It says that we are known as disciples of Jesus by the way we love God and love others. There is a genuine expression of faith that is not spiritual activity but Spirit-empowered love and ministry.
What does an average day in your life look like? Think through your actions and attitudes towards others. Does it look like Jesus in the Gospels? What could you change today so that you are better known by your love for God and for others?
