Experience God's Love

Faith is necessary to please God. The prayer of faith receives from God. Those who walk with God, walk by faith. Oh, the importance of faith is found again and again in the Bible. Faith understands the way of God. Faith obeys God. Yet, having said all this, faith is not the greatest thing, but love is!

Faith never comes alone. Faith is the constant companion with love. Seek faith and it will not come. Experience God's love and faith arises every time. The reason is simple. "God is love" (1 John 4:8). God is the source of all faith. He is the focus of all faith. When you experience God's love, faith is there. Faith and love always come together.

Faith must come from your heart. But, that will never happen until your heart experiences the love of God. "The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us" (Romans 5:5). When love fills your heart, faith is there. They are inseparable abiding gifts of the Spirit of God. "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love" (1 Corinthians 13:13). 

How do we experience God's love? It comes through the gospel of Jesus Christ. In Christ crucified, you see God's unconditional love. "But God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Look unto Jesus at the cross. Experience God's love divine that gives abiding faith. "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2). .
