1. The Love of God
We have seen clearly that God demonstrated His love for us. He gave His Son who died for us while we were yet in our sins. God wants us to accept His love and believe in Christ.
2. The Holy Spirit
The Father and the Son love us greatly. Their love, God’s love, is love is made known to us through God the Holy Spirit. When we believe in Christ, we are justified by faith (Rom. 5:1). We are made righteous in Christ. Our fellowship with God is restored. At the same time, we receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit makes the love of the Father and the Son known to us.
Our text says, “the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” He is the agent of God to apply spiritual truth to our hearts. We do not just learn words; we experience God. Our experience of God is made real through the Holy Spirit. All the yearnings of our hearts to be loved by God are met through the Spirit.
3. Your Step
The Holy Spirit is drawing you to Christ today. He wants to be a channel of the love of God to you and in all our life. Sensing the tug of the Spirit on your heart, you might ask, “What step must I take to be a follower of Christ?” The apostle Paul says it well in Romans 10:9-10.
9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus {as} Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved;
10 for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. (NAS)
I invite you to take this step today. You will be born again and experience the love of God as never before. God will pour out His love through the Holy Spirit who will dwell within you. Accept Christ today!
