I‘m Supposed To Love God?
How can you love God when you can’t see him, touch him, or even know for sure he exists?
First you have to believe there is a God. If you don’t believe there is a God, then you have to answer the question, ‘How did we get here?’ Do you believe what the Bible says?
‘In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…’
That’s where you have to start. If you don’t believe the creation account, then you have believed the deception of satan. I ask you then, to open your mind and seek out the truth, honestly and sincerely.
If you believe there is a God, then you need to know, we are commanded to love God. Jesus stated the greatest commandment is, ‘we are to Love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength.’ He is to be ever present in our thoughts, our heart, our soul, and in all that we do.
How Can I Love God?
First of all, what do you do when you love somebody?
You care about what they think about you. You commit yourself to them. You do your best to share with and help them. You think about them. You want to share your life with them and be with them. You want to do what they want you to do. It is your desire to please them and live for them. You care about every aspect of their life. You long to know more about them.
That is a picture of new love, of true love. You make the decision to love that person, and you start making sacrifices for them. It is a beautiful thing. Manifested by God; the very thing that God wants from us. He wants a relationship like that with us. He wants us to love him and keep him in our thoughts, to care about what he thinks, and to do what he says is right. He created us to love him.
Does God Love Me?
How can you possibly know if God loves you? The Bible tells us so!
(Jeremiah 31:3) ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.’
(Ephesians 2:4-5) ‘But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions~ it is by grace that you have been saved.’
The Bible is a love letter to us, telling us of God’s love and desire that we love him in return. His desire is for us to have a relationship with him through Jesus Christ, whom he sent to earth to be God with us, and to die for our sins. The Bible also tells us of what can happen to those who do not desire a relationship with God. You see, those who do not accept the gift God offered through Jesus Christ are already condemned. What does your future hold? Do you love God?
The Backside is as follows:
Spring is a time of refreshment, a time of new beginnings, a time to reflect on all that God has given us, and all that He has done in our lives.
A time for thankfulness for everything. For the birds of the air that sing so sweetly, and the seeds of the ground which produce our food and nourish our bodies, for the love of family, which He manifested, and for the gift of life, which comes from Him alone.
A time to reflect too on our own relationship with Him (God). Easter and spring is the time when we are reminded each year of the price that was paid for our sins, that Jesus came to pay, so that we can be made right with God. Have you accepted in your heart what Jesus did for you?
If you have, then have you been thankful lately for what He did on the Cross for you? Have you been thankful for your Blessings?
If you haven't accepted Jesus, and the price He paid, then isn't it about time you did?
It's all about love! It's about God's love for us, and His desire that
we should love Him in return.
Do you love God? Does He know it by the life you live?
Do you know if you will indeed live eternal life in heaven one day? If you dont know for sure, then isn't it about time you found out?
It is said that over 80% of the people in our nation believe there is a God. But believing there is a God won't get you into heaven. Not even going to church guarantees your home to be found one day in heaven.
You Must believe in your heart, and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. You must confess and repent of your sins. Until you do this, you cannot have a relationship with our Holy God, and you cannot be called a child of God.
Then, put God first in your life and see what changes. Be obedient and apply in your life the principles found in the Bible. Then be thankful, for God so loved you, that He gave His Son for you, and Jesus has risen, conquering death, and Hades to give you life.(John 3:16)
Believe, Repent, Accept, and Live!

Ephesians 3:16-21 (NIV) I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
