Love Comes From God

The Great Commandment

• The Great Commandment requires us to love God above all else, with all our heart, soul, and mind; and love our neighbors as we love ourselves. (Matthew 22:35-40)
• Jesus said for us to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44-45) and to honor our parents...

God Hears The Righteous

• God's Word tells us that He does not hear our prayers, meaning He doesn't answer our prayers, when we are living in sin. (Psalms 66:18, Proverbs 1:28-29)

Faith In Jesus

• We must have faith in Jesus to understand God's Word because it is spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:13)
• Love comes from God—we love Him because He first loved us. (1 John 4:18-20)

Father in Heaven, thank You for those who visit the Christian Forums sharing their cries for help, for it raises awareness to the truth for all of us, that God is Sovereign, and without God we can do nothing good on our own. You alone answer our prayers when we are obedient to You, through our faith, love, and trust in you, our Lord and Savior. Draw us near You, comfort us and encourage us according to Your perfect plan. May God's will, not ours, be done, always and forever. In Jesus' name. Amen.
