Be As Loving As Jesus – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional December 15th

(Love The Way The Master Does)

TO THE BIBLE: 1 John 2:5-6
“But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”

LET’S TALK
“I wish I could be like Him,” Jesse sighed.
“Like who?” Abel quizzed as they made their way to football practice.
“Like Jesus. He’s so bold and kind. He loves everyone, even the guy who never seemed to listen to Him!”
“You can, though.” Abel replied, “If you declare the Lordship of Jesus, you’ll love others like He does.”

How true this is! Being born again means God’s love is already in us. His love fills our hearts through the Holy Spirit who lives in us (Romans 5:5).

So if you’re born again, there’s no need to pray, “Oh Lord, put more of your love in my heart!” You already have the fullness of God’s love in your heart.

You can love just like He does. That’s why the Bible tells us to “walk even as He walked” (1 John 2:6).

If you say you’re with Christ, you should live like He did and follow His example. He was the definition of love.

Ephesians 5:1-2 tells us to imitate Him in our love: “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.”

We can live, act, and think like Him because we share His life. 1 Corinthians 2:16 says, “…But we have the mind of Christ.” So, like Jesus, never be scared or intimidated by tough situations.

In every challenge, show the glory and power of God. Nothing could stop Jesus. He had total control over everything.

Don’t be intimidated by the challenges you face, no matter how hard they seem; walk as Jesus walked! Today, you’re His representation; you’re His expression.

This is what true Christianity is—living the Christ-life, showing and working out Christ in and through you. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for the profound truth of your Word that’s building my spirit strong and transforming my life from glory to glory. Your love is perfected in my heart, and it flows through me to bring succour to a hurting world. I’m the expression and manifestation of Christ, His glory, power and righteousness today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
