The Power of God’s Love

"This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:12-13) 

Love is the first and foremost command that Jesus gave us, yet far too many believers neglect to follow it. 

Some believers can quote tremendous amounts of scripture and who may speak the name of Jesus many times a day, yet they are insensitive to the needs of their friends and family. They are so busy "serving God" that they don't have time to serve people. 

No matter how long some have been serving Christ; if they have strife in their heart and are not living by the love commandment of Jesus, spiritual things are foolishness to them. 

Do you want to see the incredible power of God released through your life? Then start putting God’s love in action. Start by loving those around you.

Love is the greatest power of the universe. God's power package just won't work without it. That's why we've seen so many power failures in the Body of Christ. Starting today, we can turn those failures around. We can make up our minds to let the Word dwell richly within us. We can set our hearts on keeping the commands of Jesus and follow Him with confidence and authority. And, most important of all, we can begin to love one another.

Then we will truly see the power of God begin to flow.
