Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
Loving God & Yourself
Scripture.
Matthew 22:37-39 KJV
"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself".
Message:
When a person loves God, such will automatically love themselves. You see because, it is important to love yourself, so that you will be able to love others. People who dont love themselves don't have the capacity to love others and that has its root in the deficiency of the capacity to love God.
Genuine and true love begins with the love God loved us before the foundation of the earth. That love existed before we were created, but it was demonstrated later on the cross of calvary. This love that God loved us must be recieved and accepted before we can love God back.
The scriptures says in 1 John 4:19 (KJV) "We love him, because he first loved us". The capacity to love God back has its root in the love that God first loved us. And until we are able to love God, we will never be able to love ourselves, neither will we be able to love others.
People who love God will automatically learn how to love themselves. The reason is that, we are made in the image and likeness of God, therefore whatsoever you do to God, you are doing to yourself. We belong to God, this is why you cannot take your life, you have no ownership over your life. When you love God, you will love yourself and you will love others.
