This Sunday we got into the Valentine spirit and heard a message centered on love. Love is not simply about romance, but it is always about the “doing” and the choices we make (Matt 22:37-40). In 1 Cor 13:2 we see that if we have all things but we don’t have love, we have nothing.
We need to have love in our hearts. In Prov 4:23 we learn how everything flows from the heart, and we need to know that even with all the knowledge in the world, if it does not change how we respond to God then it counts for nothing. Jesus knew all the Old Testament scriptures, yet he preached about how we should be living and loving. Yes, we should study to show ourselves approved, but after we have studied Gods word for ourselves we should ‘live it’.
Remember that Jesus is concerned with the condition of your heart (Isaiah 61:1-2). Let’s learn to love the way God demonstrates it to us (1 Cor 13:4-7).
