The Fuel Of Love

The Fuel Of Love…

Jesus told the Pharisees, “He who is forgiven much, loves much. He who has been forgiven little, loves little”. We’re all separated, infinitely distant from God and we infinitely need His infinite forgiveness.

It’s not a matter of who’s sinned more or less. The one who loves more is the one who realizes how much they’ve been forgiven of – and who receives it.

The Pharisee , whom Jesus spoke these words, didn’t believe that he had much to be forgiven for. Most believers fall into this. And when one believes one has not been forgiven much, one will love little, rejoice little, and glorify God little.

But those who know their sin and the price that was paid for their sins know that without God, there is nothing. They’ll have joy and love throughout their lives and will live all out for God.

You have been forgiven much – an eternity of judgment. That’s enough for you to become a person who loves, forgives, rejoices, and lives much- all out because Jesus has done all that. That’s enough for you to live a life full of loving, rejoicing, and glorifying the Lord.

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, Acts 3:19

Take time today to ponder how greatly you were forgiven in Jesus – and what that means for your life. Now apply that to your life and to everyone around you.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
