KNOWING GOD’S LOVE BY THE SPIRIT
Romans 5:3-5 (NLT)
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
One of the reasons God has given us His Holy Spirit is to fill our hearts with His love. As you yield yourself more to the Holy Spirit, He will fill your heart with more and more of the love of God.
In 1 John 4:16, John said, “We have known and believed the love God has for us…” It was with the help of the Holy Spirit that John and the other disciples were able to know and believe how great God’s love for them was. We can never over emphasize the great and glorious benefits of knowing how dearly God loves us. Especially when we have this knowledge deep down in our hearts by the help and ministry of the Holy Spirit. One of such benefits is that the love of God serves as an anchor of our souls in times of trouble and trials. It keeps us strong and steady in faith. Nothing that happens or goes wrong makes us doubt God’s faithfulness and commitment to our lives.
The major way the Holy Spirit fills our hearts with the love of God is by revealing Christ to us. As the Holy Spirit opens your eyes to know Christ and all He accomplished for you by His death, burial and resurrection, the love of God will fill your heart and become more and more real to you, (John 16:13-15). The Holy Spirit will help you know who you are, what you have, where you and all you can do because of Christ.
Action Point:
Pray in the Spirit. Thank God for the great love He has for you and ask the Holy Spirit to fill your heart with God’s love.
