What You Love : Our God Who Loves Us - John 15:1-5

We allow all kinds of things to shape and change us. We are formed and conformed by and to the world. Our sinful hearts look for something to worship, and we end up worshipping all kinds of things around us. This is evident in how we live apart from how God has called us to. We are slaves to our hearts, and we live according to what we love, which is often, not God. By the Holy Spirit, God gives us a new heart. A heart that trusts in God's truth, that Jesus has come to save us from our sin, and call us to live for him, rather than for ourselves. We are to rejoice and abide in this truth. We hear God's Word, rejoice with the community God's made for us in the church, and live by the Holy Spirit, as Jesus has called us to. Our God loves us and calls us to abide in him, when we hear God's word and promises, bear fruit by the Holy Spirit, and look to Jesus for all things.
