#009 Because He First Loved Us - 86 Seconds Video Devotional - Gary Wilkerson

The Bible says that we love because he first loved us. Oh the great, great love of God that he has for you today. Don't forget it. If you'll remember how much he loves you, it'll change your whole day. The 86 seconds of this devotion today can set the trajectory of your day of one of knowing that you're loved, loved deeply by God, and the result of that is we love. It doesn't say we love others or we love ourselves or we love God. Although those things are all included, it simply says we love because he first loved us. In other words, love, the residency of love in our heart and our life, is there because we realize how much we're loved. Strangely enough, the magnetic pull on the other side, Jesus in Matthew 24 teachers that because the world will hate you, the world hates, because of that the love of many will grow cold cause these two polarizing ideas. One is basking in the love that the Father has for us. We'll create a heart of love. Looking at the world and trying to gain its approval and its acceptance, its applause, wanting to be loved by that is going to cause our love to grow cold. You have a choice today. Let your love get more on fire for God or let it grow cold. Who do you want to love you, the world or Jesus? I vote for Jesus.
