Becoming A Follower of Jesus Looks Like…
Receiving the Love of God
God is love (1 Jn 4:7-12). All love comes from God. He is the author and source of love. Jesus, the unique Son of God came into this world to make known and to bring us into God’s love. At Jesus’ baptism, God the Father spoke these words over his beloved son:
“You are mine.”
”I love you.”
”I am pleased with you”
For all those who choose to follow Jesus, they share in this unique identity as God’s beloved children.
Cultivating the Love of God
More than anything you do or might accomplish, God is most concerned that you be with him, that you walk in deep love, friendship, and intimacy with him.
The most important thing as a follower of Jesus is to marinate in and cultivate God’s love. This cultivation can be done through reading the story of God in Scripture, living in community with other Jesus Followers, cultivating conversation with God through prayer, and regularly remembering Jesus’ sacrifice through communion.
Sharing the Love of God
As you receive and cultivate the love of God in your life, you will become love incarnate. Love will begin to overflow from your life–touching everything you do and everyone you come into contact with.
This is the ideal, that a Jesus follower is known by their love.
Will you receive this offer of love and become a follower of Jesus, today?
