Disciples of Jesus are filled with His love week 2 of 2

One of the greatest marks of a disciple is this: we are filled with His love.

Jesus gave us a new commandment to love others the way He has loved us, but this isn’t about copying Jesus or trying harder—it’s about receiving His love first.

You can’t give what you haven’t received. But when you encounter the love of Christ, you can love others with His love.

Why Is It Hard Sometimes?

We know we ought to love, but tiredness, offense, self-interest, and feeling people don’t deserve it can make it hard. Jesus said forgive—even seven times a day (Luke 17:4)! The apostles asked, “Increase our faith!” Why? Because faith makes love possible (Mark 9:23).

Three Ways to Build Faith in His Love

• 1. Remain in His Love 🌿Meditate on His love daily (John 15:12). Keep the “law of love” in your mouth and heart (Joshua 1:8).
  2. Stir Up What’s Inside 🔥Be continually filled with the Spirit (Eph 5:18). Worship, give thanks, and pray in the Spirit (Jude 20).
  3. Live By Faith 💬 Declare: “I walk in love. God’s love is in me.” (Rom 10:8). Act like the Bible is true—love is already in you (Rom 5:5).
• Final Thought
• Love is the fulfillment of the law. It’s simple: remain in His love, stir it up, and live by faith. Let’s declare it, live it, and share it ❤️.
