Devotional
The heart of Christianity isn’t about perfect church attendance or flawless behavior – it’s about falling deeply in love with Jesus. When we truly love Christ, everything else flows from that relationship. This love transforms our perspectives, our priorities, and our treatment of others. It helps us see beyond our prejudices and embrace God’s heart for all people. Without this foundational love for Jesus, our attempts at Christian living become mere religious exercises, lacking the power to truly transform us.
Bible Verse
“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer went up to You, into Your holy temple.” – Jonah 2:7
Reflection Question
How would you describe your current love relationship with Jesus? What practical steps can you take to deepen this love?
Quote
“If you and I are not completely in love with Jesus Christ, then none of this is going to work. I’m just going to tell you about Christianity right now. It’s not going to work for you.”
Prayer
Lord Jesus, deepen my love for You. Help me to see You more clearly and love You more dearly. Let my life be transformed by Your love, and help me share that love with others. Amen.
