How Believers Are To Love God According To Jesus - How We Are To Show Our Love For God Part 1

Jesus not only came to save us of our sin but he also came to instruct us how to live our lives here on earth. We are called to be a reflection of God and Jesus, the bible teaches us that God is love and that has his children we are also called to live a life motivated by love. In John 14:15 Jesus tells us that those who love him and the father he came to represent they will keep his commandments. Though you may feel like there are too many commandments and therefore it is impossible to follow them but the truth is that all commandments given unto us by God falls in to one of two groups that Jesus refers to as the great two commandments. The first is that we must love God with our whole being and this can only take place if we chose to die to self and surrender our will to him. The second also requires us to die to self as we are ask to love those around us with the love we would require from them. All sins we commit are acts of selfishness, selfishness in the sin that so easily besets us, the sin that takes us off course. The only way to be a true reflection of God and Jesus is to become selfless to love him and those that surround us with the same love God has shown us.
