Show Love For Christ!
"Therefore we make it our aim, whether
present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him."
2 Corinthians 5: 9
It's no surprise that the apostle Paul used marriage to illustrate
the bond between Christ and His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33).
A basic explanation is because both are based on relationship.
Just saying “I do” at the altar is only a beginning in a marriage,
saying “I believe” to Christ is only the beginning of that
relationship as well.
Married couples will agree: Marriage is a never-ending journey.
Couples spend a lifetime plumbing the depths of a spouse’s life
and personality. True love means always seek to love a spouse
better and more deeply. Likewise, entering in a relationship with
Christ means the same, spending a lifetime getting to know Him
and learn to love Him better and more deeply. Just as spouses
seek to demonstrate their love for one another, so we pursue an
ever-deeper knowledge on how to please the One who died
and now lives for us.
Loving for a lifetime is a daily journey. Think
of ways you can show your love for Christ
today in thought, word, or deed.
"The child of God has only one dread—to offend
his Father. The child of God has only one desire,
to please and delight in him."
Charles Bridges
