Worship The Author Of Love

To be a worshipper is to fall in love with God, the author of love and accept the love He has for you. He adores you. God gave you his word as a living love letter that contains everything you will ever need to get through this life and beyond. The word encourages us to be established in love and to grasp how wide and long and high and deep the love of Christ is for us. His love “surpasses knowledge” (Eph 3:19). His love is at work within us, filling us to the measure with the fullness of God. If we could understand even an inkling of this love Christ has for us, our heart would be full of extravagant worship for the One who loves us so much.

One of the biggest challenges in life, of the mind and soul, is to accept the love of God—simply to accept God’s love for you as a gift. It is the greatest absolute in your life. If we could sing the childhood song “Jesus loves me” to every human being on earth, if only everyone believed the profound truth in these simple lyrics. Even toddlers can sing the words that continue to set people free: “Yes Jesus loves me; Yes Jesus loves me; Yes Jesus loves me; the Bible tells me so.”

“For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16 amp)

Many people try to earn love of God by working for Him. They find it hard to worship Him because they know they don’t deserve His attention. They beat themselves up trying to subconsciously please Him and earn His grace and favor, without ever truly knowing Him. Nothing you could do make Him love you more.

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption trough his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. (Eph. 1:4-8)

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love:not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. (1. John 4:7-13)

Until you know through personal experience who God is, you will never truly know who you are. And until you know the depth of His love for you, you will never truly experience knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are loved. Until you know that you are loved, you can never obey the second commandment, which is to love others as you love yourself. The Bible continually exhorts us to love one another. Truthful worshippers love God extravagantly and love people with the extravagant love of God.
