Dear WKIM, “No one will ever love God and his neighbour with any measure of pure, spiritual love, who is not made a partaker of converting grace.” - Matthew Henry John 3:16 as well as 1John4:10: Shows his love for us. 1John 4:19: Gives the explanation of why we should. Romans 5:8: Gives us an example of God demonstrating his love. 1Corinthians 13:7: Shows us some labors of love. Matthew 19:19: Also tells us who to love. 1Corinthians 2:14: But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. We can’t have a love for God, I believe, until He first acts upon us: I. All those whom God hath predestinated unto life, and those only, He is pleased, in His appointed time, effectually to call, by His Word and Spirit, out of that state of sin and death, in which they are by nature to grace and salvation, by Jesus Christ; enlightening their minds spiritually and savingly to understand the things of God, taking away their heart of stone, and giving unto them an heart of flesh; renewing their wills, and, by His almighty power, determining them to that which is good, and effectually drawing them to Jesus Christ: yet so, as they come most freely, being made willing by His grace. – Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 10, Article 1 I don’t know that it is a special feeling but rather just knowing, because He has changed us and allowed us to know how to love Him. Stand in His grace, WOS |
