Love
As we go through the study of God’s characteristics together, love has to be at the top of the list. John 3:16, Romans 5:8, Romans 8:28 and 8:35. I could go on and on and on. The question is not that He loves us, but rather, how much do we love Him? How much of our lives to we devote to Him and His things? Paul devoted His post-epiphany life to the study of God’s word, the spreading of the Gospels and the discipleship of church elders. Peter loved Jesus more than life (at times, anyway), even the two brothers walking down the road shortly after Jesus’ crucifixion, His Word BURNED in their hearts when Jesus spoke. I for one, need WAY more time in the Word, in prayer and fasting and in the things of God. Pray for me, that I devote ALL to Him and that He has His way with me.
