Jesus Christ: God's Love in Us

In Matthew 22:36-40 Jesus says that the greatest commandment in the law is to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and then your neighbor as yourself.  But No one in their flesh was able to be obedient to God in all the works of their flesh.....Except the One, who is Jesus of Nazareth, the Son and Lamb of God. 
 
If you feel you have not loved God as He wants you to, then know that He has provided His Advocate Jesus Christ His Son to fill that lack. Just apologize and receive His Grace and Eternal Forgiveness. Then ask Him how to love Him as He wants you to. Thanks to the provision of the Father through the Son Jesus Christ, we have grace that reigns through the righteousness of Jesus Christ, unto our justification of life eternal.  So in and of and by Christ Jesus, we too, love God because He first loved us.
 
He took away that carnal, hateful, disobedient spirit, the devil.  And gave us His Holy Spirit which is the Father and Son who are the Head and Governor... King and Priest over all that we are. 
 
NOW we are able to love God and abide in Him who is Love.  NOW we have GRACE To Keep Us as we are secured in His Righteousness to do our best to love one another...yet always submitting to the Head of the body, which is Christ Jesus.
 
Here, the Holy Spirit renews our minds so we can love God and others properly.  Being perfect as He is perfect.
 
God our Father corrects us along the journey (Hebrews 12:1-11).  But this correction is not in wrath or anger, but rather in His love so that we may know His mind and be born after His Spirit, and bring forth more of His Divine Nature.  What a Birthing! What a Process!  What Wisdom!  He Is Awesome!
 
HE cuts away the body of the sins of the flesh by HIS WORD.  HE SPEAKS in OUR SOULS and APPEARS...MAKES KNOWN HIMSELF (John 14:20-23).  Not in the letter, but in and by HIS SPIRIT that is HOLY.  The Father speaks to you concerning His Son.  As You recognize God’s Son, Jesus Christ, in His Glory (His Presence), You Are Changed into the Same Image.  2 Corinthians 3:16-18. The Presence of the Lord Jesus in you affects every part of your being, and a change for the better takes place.  His character becomes your new character.
 
The Lord has set up His home in you.  He is the Spirit and Authority of your Innerman.  A birthing of the Son of God...by the Holy Spirit renewing and transforming you. (Romans 12:1-2) You walk differently...in thought and actions.
 
You became dead to sin by the baptism of Jesus Christ.  Also by the glory of the Father raising Him from the dead, you too can now walk in the resurrection... newness of life.
 
Romans 5:8-9
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
 
Romans 5:11
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
 
Romans 6:4-6 
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
 
So now His character of love is how we should be walking toward all. Here are a few scriptures to confirm what the Holy Spirit is speaking to you and in you, concerning His Love for you, and for others....
 
1 John 4:7-21
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
 
God has given us more than His example.  He has given us the same Love that He has for His Son Jesus (John 17).  And He has imparted that Love by His own presence abiding in each of our souls, so that we may Know Him, and be As He Is in this world too.
 
Ephesians 3:14-21  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
 
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
 
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
 
Not by head knowledge... but by a knowing which goes beyond the length, depth, height, and width of that Love.  Having the engrafted word planted in our souls by the Holy Spirit, that we Produce and Birth after His Seed (God’s Word) ... allowing The Son of God, Jesus Christ to swallow up our mortality, raise up us in His Glory, so that we truly can say.... it is no longer I, but Christ....without sin and death....walking in the Resurrection, our newness of life.
 
This is God’s Love purpose working in us.  To produce sons of His Son, as a many member body.  John 1:12, Galatians 2:20, 1 John 3, and many more...)
 
Galatians 2:18-21
For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
 
John 1:12-14
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
 
1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
 
God loves family.  But not a family of contention and strife.  But a family that has His Precious Spirit in their Innerman, because they have been delivered of the corruption of the flesh by receiving His Love and Salvation: His Precious Son, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.
 
We are become His sons...but only because HIS SON abides in us.  His Word became flesh as the only begotten Son of God, and now is manifested in our flesh.  Jesus Christ is come and has given us an understanding...1 John 5:20.
 
1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
 
Not that we first loved Him, or sought Him first.  We failed at even that when we try by our own efforts.  But by the Lord, the Holy Spirit, in our innerman, we can produce HIS FRUIT and be able to Love our Father with a pure and true heart of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.  Now in Christ Jesus we can be willing and obedient... walking in the Strength of His Son, our Savior and Salvation.  By Grace are we saved through Faith in His Son...it is God’s Gift of Love to us.
 
Now this Love is abiding in us, and we can walk in peace with God, for the very blood (life) of His Son has washed and cleansed us from all that hindered us from connecting with and loving our Father.  Now we can abide in His Love, and now His Love in us can flow toward each other. 
 
Amen.
