"For he who is least among you all--he is the greatest." (Luke 9:48)
Many people say that they have a relationship with Jesus. But I have a question for you before you so readily say that. Do you love Jesus?
It may seem basic, but love is at the core of our walk with Christ. For example, if someone was married, but did not love their partner, would their marriage last long? The correct answer is no, it would not. In the same way, we must love Jesus if we want to have a solid, continual relationship with Him.
What does it mean to love Jesus Christ?
1 John 5:3 says, "This is love for God: to obey his commands." So if you truly love Jesus, you will obey him. This is one of the essential components of the Christian walk. If you want to go somewhere, you have to strive to live a obedient life.
P.S. - I will continue the last post most likely the next time I decide to post, but I had to write this.
