Do you sincerely love Jesus Christ? The Son of God who took away your shame and guilt by dying on the Cross of Calvary (1 Peter 2:24)?

Jesus Christ exhibited the greatest love for us by surrendering His life on the cross of Calvary (1 John 4:10). It is written and said by Jesus that the greatest love that can be showed is when a man surrender his life for His friends (John 15:13) . This is exactly what Jesus did for us. Without the sacrifice on the cross, man would have been eternally lost from the Creator. Jesus death on the cross made Him the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). Anyone who believes in the Son has eternal life and restored communion with the father (John 3:16) .

Since Jesus surrendered His life for you on the cross, what do you have to give Him in return? Your love of course! (Matthew 22:37). Because of the love Jesus has for us, He doesn't see us as servants, but as His friends ( John 15:15). What a privilege we have that we become a friend to the great God (Isaiah 9:6) and through whom all things were made in the universe (John 1:3).

To develop your relationship with Jesus Christ, first, you have to surrender your life completely to Him, willing to obey Him in whatever He ask you to do (John 2:5). God loves obedience. The obedience of Abraham made him father of many nations (Genesis 17:3-4). The obedience of Christ on the cross redeemed man from condemnation and doom (Romans 5:19) . Wherefore God highly exalted the names of Jesus that at the name of Jesus all knees shall bow and all tongues shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:9-11).

Keeping diligently the commandments of Jesus also help in developing our love for Jesus (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Jesus said in His word that if you love Him, you should keep His commandment (John 14:15). Obeying the commandments of Christ is a sign that you love Jesus and the love will grow gradually, but on the other hand, disobedience to the commandment of Christ is a sign of lack of love for Christ.

Since the commandments of Christ are in the word of God, we will need to spend some quality time with the scriptures and meditating on it day and night (2 Timothy 2:115 John 5:39 ). As we do this, we don’t only draw ourselves closer to God, but our love for the author of the word of God — God Himself — will increase. We should not just study the scripture for intellectual purpose only, but with the intent to obey and practice.

Being among the fellowship of other believers can also help in developing our love for Christ. We listen to the word of God and the Gospel of Christ (Romans 10:17). We have been admonished in the scripture that we shouldn't forsake the gathering of other fellow believers because whenever believers gather in the name of Christ, Christ is also there in their midst (Matthew 18:20; Hebrews 10:25). Since Christ is always in the midst of believers, by being in the presence of fellow believers, we have a communion with the Son also and thus our love for Him will increase.

Increase your love for Christ with this guide and I persuaded that neither death, life nor things present or things to come shall be able to separate you from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39).
