Shincheonji Bible: True Love

When you think of love, how do you show love?

There are many people in this world who show love in a variety of ways such as with giving, speaking, and even listening.

However, what is true love in the eyes of God and Jesus? According to John 14:15, Jesus says that if you love him you will obey His commands. Then we have to ask ourselves a question a lot of us do not want to hear. What does it mean to obey His commands? First we must ask ourselves what Jesus' commands were. When we look throughout the entire New Testament, we are able to see a lot of the scriptures written in ways that may be difficult to understand. Why is this?

When we look within scriptures, we are able to see that Jesus spoke in a figurative language according to Psalm 78:2. It was a prophecy in regards to Jesus speaking in parables and uttering things hidden from the past. Then the question we should all have is, "How can we obey something we do not understand?" If you asked yourself that question, your heart is in the right direction. For example, if you saw a stop sign and you did not know how to read English, would you be able to keep the stop sign? No it would be impossible. Then how are we as believers supposed to show our love to Jesus if we cannot understand what he is commanding? This is why we must live a life of faith with a heart of searching the answers that Jesus wants us to thirst for.

When we look at the entire New Testament, there is a book that is written in prophecies such as the book of Revelation. This book in the Bible is show to this Apostle John in a figurative vision in which many of the believers today have such a hard time interpreting. More than trying to understand in our own way, we must look and verify through scriptures what these all mean. If we truly say we love Jesus, then shouldn't we put in effort to search out what Jesus meant in all the New Testament? Without a heart of searching, one will never be able to truly be confident to say they love Jesus the way that Jesus wanted to be loved. When a person you love desires something, you always have to remember that it is not the desire you think unless you know them 100%. If you don't know, simply ask. They may be mad that you didn't know, but it is much better than showing them love in the way they do not want. Jesus wants us to understand His heart more than anything else. By us understanding His heart, we are also able to understand God's. Let us make sure we love God the way He desires! Amen!
