Loving The Father

One of the best things you should do in your life is to love God with all your heart and might and do all that He asks you to do. In this sermon, Rev. Isaiah shares some of the best ways of loving the father.

God loves us in some of the following ways.

1. He protects us.
2. He loves those who love Him.
   Prov. 8:17 KJV. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
   1 Sam 2:30 KJV. Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
   Ex. 20:6 KJV. And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
   Jn 14:23 KJV. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
3. He provides for us.

How do I love the father?

1. Keep His commandments.
   Jn 14:15 KJV. If ye love me, keep my commandments.
2. Love your neighbor.
   1 Jn 4:7,20 KJV. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
   Jn 13:34 KJV. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
   Jas 1:26-27 KJV. 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
3. By doing the work of God.
   Jn 5:17 KJV. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
   Jn 9:4 KJV. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
   Matt. 21:28-31 KJV. But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. 29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. 31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
