The love God wants

"He said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?' Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, 'do you love Me?'And he said to Him, 'Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.'Jesus said to him, 'Feed My sheep.'" John 21.17

Why did Jesus ask Peter if he loved Him? From my understanding, he wanted to teach about pure and true love. Just as faith requires attitude, love also requires action. Those who think that pure love is a feeling are completely wrong. It is not. Just as  and faith, it also requires sacrifices.

Who wants to drink?

“The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, their tongues fail for thirst. I, the LORD, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them." Isaiah 41.17

The faith that pleases God is the certainty that He will do what He promised and taking action. Unfortunately, most Christians have not seen the manifestation of God's power because they expect to "feel the faith" and only then take action. That is, they want to see in order to believe. So, they cannot take possession of the Biblical promises.

The ancient heroes of faith believed, acted out on their belief and then saw the fulfillment of God's Word.

ABRAHAM APPLIED SCIENCE

"Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things."    Genesis 24.1

Science teaches us that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. 
Abraham applied this law to God.
He always obeyed.
Result: the Lord blessed Abraham in all things.

REMISSION

"And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood and without shedding of blood there is no remission."      Hebrews 9.22

During the times of the Old Testament, almost everything was purified through the sacrifice of blood. However, in the New Testament, the sacrifice of animals was canceled. But the sacrifice of faith was not and it requires action. 
Without sacrifice there is no remission, no salvation and no achievements.
Whoever wants to be forgiven, must forgive (sacrifice). Whoever wants to receive, must give (sacrifice). Whoever wants to reap, must sow (sacrifice).
Therefore, it is impossible to take possession of God's promises without an act of sacrificial faith. 

Come

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11.28

It’s not enough to know that He gives rest to the heavy laden, or to know that he is Living and Powerful to do anything. More is needed…

It’s necessary to put in practice such knowledge, act on this belief and seek Him with all your strength, all your mind and all your heart.

This is what COME TO HIM means.

Visualize faith

" Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.” Matthew 9:2

Jesus SAW the faith of those men. How does one see faith? Through attitudes, behavior, action, obedience to an assurance within... In other words, it has nothing to do with feelings or anything of the sort. When there's true faith, there are practical results.

Neighbour

A person with a heart full of love and the desire to evangelise on the street and at work must do so freely. The work of faith must also be moved by faith; this is the example the Lord Jesus left for us.

I think this is a beautiful work and I would love to go out every Saturday and Sunday with those who spread the Good News and give their testimony.

However, for those of you who have no time (because of work or household duties), there are other ways of being used. Intercession for the lost through prayer and fasting, faithfulness in tithes and offerings and the purchasing of evangelistic materials such as church newspapers, magazines and books (so that they can be available for those who go out to evangelise) are a few ways.

"You shall love your neighbour as yourself." Matthew 22:39
