The Love of God — Part 1

“Keep yourselves in the love of God” (Jude verse 21).

Keeping yourself in the enjoyment of God’s love will have an impact on your life in several ways. The following are just a few of those ways:

1. It will increase your love for the Lord.

“We love Him, because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19).

2. It will cause us to obey His Word and will.

“We love God, and keep His commandments” (1 John 5:2).

“If ye love me, keep My commandments … . If a man love Me, he will keep My words” (John 14:15, 23).

3. It will increase your love for the lost and interest in the gospel. It will give you that same love and desire that He has for their salvation and blessing.

“The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” (Romans 5:5).

4. It will increase your love for your fellow-believer, and your desire to serve them.

“By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God” (1 John 5:2).
