2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-- his good, pleasing and perfect will.” We do Christ no honor when we do no more than give Him the best of our human love...He is not rightly loved until...the Spirit within us does the loving! “Romans 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.” “We are not love, and we never expect to love by our own impulses... but Jesus is the heart of Love. Jesus is Love itself, and Jesus is ours! His love is ours. We draw it in and give it out.” Tozer Jesus showed us what true Love is when He took our punishment for our sins upon Himself and died on the Cross.. Jesus Himself said that no greater love is this, than a man lay down his life for his friends. To express this kind of love toward sinful humanity is every believers message! There can be no other way to love God than to love His Son and be obedient to the high calling of His work of Redemption. To express our love toward God in any other way is to only love carnally and fleshly!

How to Love God!
I would like to share how to love God. “Romans 5:5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” The human heart can love the human Jesus as it can love the human Lincoln, but the spiritual love of Jesus is something altogether different from and infinitely superior to the purest love the human heart can know. Indeed it si not possible to love Jesus rightly except by the Holy Spirit. Only the Third Person of the Trinity can love the Second Person in a manner pleasing to the Father. The spiritual love of Jesus is nothing else but the Spirit within us loving Christ the Eternal Son! Christ, after the flesh, receives a great deal of fawning attention..., but love that is not the overflow of the indwelling Holy Spirit is not true spiritual love and cannot be acceptable to God. “Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-- this is your spiritual {1 Or } act of worship.
2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-- his good, pleasing and perfect will.” We do Christ no honor when we do no more than give Him the best of our human love...He is not rightly loved until...the Spirit within us does the loving! “Romans 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.” “We are not love, and we never expect to love by our own impulses... but Jesus is the heart of Love. Jesus is Love itself, and Jesus is ours! His love is ours. We draw it in and give it out.” Tozer Jesus showed us what true Love is when He took our punishment for our sins upon Himself and died on the Cross.. Jesus Himself said that no greater love is this, than a man lay down his life for his friends. To express this kind of love toward sinful humanity is every believers message! There can be no other way to love God than to love His Son and be obedient to the high calling of His work of Redemption. To express our love toward God in any other way is to only love carnally and fleshly!
