DO YOU TRUELY LOVE THE LORD?
(John 21:15-25)
It is one thing to say that you love the Lord Jesus, but the real test is the unconditional willingness to serve Him. Do you possess the devoted love for your LORD? The love for Christ lives no choice except to honour and serve Him devotedly. The Lord Jesus Christ never settled for quick, superficial, half-hearted answers. He wants well-thought and considered decision to follow and live for Him. Read vs. 15&16 again. Love for Christ is the foundational factor for Christian service. Any service that is not borne out of the love for Christ cannot receive His blessings. Christ describes the young believers as “Lambs”. As a young person you need spiritual care. You need to feed constantly on the word of God for survival. You should have a daily refreshing quiet time. If you live without Christ’ presence in your life much of what you do may result in fruitless efforts. You need the fellowship of the brethren. How often do you attend Bible study and prayer meetings in your group?
Let the love of Christ constrains and compels you always.
