Jesus Christ is the Bridegroom and we are His Bride. Only when a deep love for Jesus burns within our hearts are we able to love others and love ourselves. Only when we are truly in love with God are we able to go to the nations and make disciples of Jesus. Everything starts with a love affair with God Himself. When we have learned to obey the Great Commandment, then we can fulfill the Great Commission. - "Keeping The Fire"
I guess this part of the book really hits me so well, if we have not died from our selfish intentions and personal goals as a christian then we are still not loving others above us and if that is the case we are also not putting God first above all else. That is not a wholehearted love for the Lord. Going for extra mile for the Lord can only happen when we truly believe from the bottom of our hearts that we are in partnership with the persona of Jesus; that what we do is a lifetime covenant, a commitment and a love vow for the Lord. There is no way we can sustain to do the GREAT COMMISSION IF WE HAVE NOT LEARNED TO OBEY AND EMBRACED THE GREAT COMMANDMENT. Have you? What keeps you going in doing the great commission? Why are you doing it? What does it takes for you to fulfill the great commission and go to every nation and make disciples and baptize them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And teach them to obey all that Jesus have commanded? LOVE....the unexplanable and unconditional love Jesus made us all feel when He died for us in the cross. The exact love that drives me to love more and give more and forgive more and do what I do today. That perfect Love of God empowers an imperfect person like me to strive more to bring Him Glory! We will never love like God does, but it never disqualifies us from the race to bring love more in this world. Choose to obey the greatest commandment though it's never easy and let's all together fulfill the great commission. |
