II Corinthians 5:14-15 - "For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again."
In the last blog we talked about God's love. Today I want to reflect on our response to God's love. Our first response to God's love should be that we want to tell others about His great love towards us. Our second response is we do not want to live any longer for ourselves but for Him who died. We will want to please Him. Therefore, we will want to obey Him.
There should be another response to God's love which is found in I John 4:11-12 - "Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us."
Our response should be that we love one another. We will follow Christ's example of self sacrifice. We will not only lay down our lives for God, but others as well. This is proof that God lives in us and that His love is made complete in us.
These three responses to God's come about only as we fully understand and appreciate God's love for us.
