A Lover of Christ

A Lover of Christ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses (RcV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 14:21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, he is
the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My
Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him.
(23) Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he
will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will
come to him and make an abode with him.
Song of Solomon 5:16 His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is
altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To believe in Him [Jesus Christ] is to receive Him, and to
love Him is to enjoy Him. We all have believed in Him. This
means that we all have received Him. But the problem today is
whether we love Him or not. Although you have received the
Lord Jesus and He is now within you, you may not love Him. We
need to be a lover of the Lord Jesus all day long.

His presence is always related to our love toward Him. The
more we love Him, the more we enjoy His presence. What is His
presence? It is simply the enjoyment of Himself. As long as
we have His presence, we enjoy Him. The more we love Him, the
more we shall have His presence. The more we are in His
presence, the more we shall enjoy all that He is to us. We
only need to love Him. Knowing means nothing; only loving
counts. How we all need to love Him! I have been loving Him
for fifty years and today I feel that He is more lovable than
ever. No one is as lovely as He is. Song of Songs says that
He is altogether lovely (5:16).
