Experiencing God - Week 3
My notes from viewing the Experiencing God video seminar for week 3 - Experiencing a love relationship with God.
Love for us - it was settled at the cross.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment." (Matthew 22:37-38 NIV)
Dimensions of the love of God. We are meant for eternity. Our time here just opportunity to prepare and enjoy.
Do you need discipline to spend time with those you love? Obey God- not from the guilt of fear but that more sublime guilt of disappointing the One who loves you. Deny self and come under Jesus and find out who you really are.
Whom the LORD loves, HE disciplines. FOR. OUR. OWN. GOOD.
Study systematically. Don't go searching. But always be in Gospels. Truth (theologically) is a Person.
Q and A: "Wrassling" with self. He's drawing you unto Himself. Our lives in Him are "open-ended" - obey him wholeheartedly, He moves you forward to new opportunity and purpose.
