I KNOW YOU

DAILY GRACE THURS.5TH JAN, 2017 I KNOW YOU JOHN 5:42 May you experience unusual grace for exceeding and greater glory this day in Jesus' name. "But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you." The Lord Jesus Christ said plainly to the Pharisees, and religious leaders of His days that their identity can not be hidden unto Him because He knew all men, and what was actually in men. Christ said, I know you very well, that you have not the love of God in you. Why should I wonder that you do not come to me, when you want even the first principle of natural religion, which is the love of God?” The reason why people slight Christ is because they do not love God; for, if we did indeed love God, we should love Him who is His express image, and hasten to Him by whom only we may be restored to the favour of God. He charged them (John 5:37) with ignorance of God, and here with want of love to Him; thus, men have not the love of God because they desire not the knowledge of Him. Firstly, the crime charged upon them: You have not the love of God in you. They pretended a great love to God, and thought they proved it by their zeal for the law, the temple, and the sabbath; and yet they were really without the love of God. Similarly, l perceive that there are many who make a great profession of religion or faith who yet show they lack love of God by their habits , neglect of Christ and their contempt of His commandments; they hate His holiness and undervalue His goodness. Friend, it is the love of God in us, that love seated in the heart, a living active principle there, that God will accept; the love shed abroad there (Rom 5:5) To be continued... Enjoy your day! Personal Confession: Father, search my heart today if devoid of your genuine love in Jesus' name. Read, Reflect and rebroadcast to bless someone. God will bless you in return.
