Love is what the LORD says it is! Many people try to define love on their own terms, however unless you base your definition of love on what the bible has to say about it, the whole counsel of God not a pet scripture, you will fall short of understanding it, truly describing it, and initiating action based on it in a way that is pleasing to the LORD. Those who truly love Him regularly pray, study scripture to establish His principles in their hearts, and fellowship with other believers. This helps them have greater fellowship and intimacy with Him and equips them to fulfill the purpose for which He created and empowers them.
Managing your life, including your finances, in the way that God identified in the bible is a necessary component of love because it is a witness and example to other people necessary for you to continually grow in Christ to the fullest extent and help them grow. Following this path requires that you love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Otherwise, you’d give up when satan tempts you with something that looks good to your eyes or feels good to your flesh or your pride. God loves you immensely and has provided a way of escape for you to bypass satan’s temptation and the negative consequences and torment that follows it even when you cannot see it at the moment. In the person of Jesus Christ, He made a way for your eternal security that allows you to forsake worldly ways of living through the Holy Spirit living in you and empowering you. He promised to every believer that walks obedient to His commands that He will take care of all your need, make you fruitful, and prosper you.
Now return that love to God by believing His Word and choosing his pathway to life eternal that start here and now on earth. Believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life and that no man gets to the Father except through Him. This faith will then produce fruit from repentance bringing forth good works that glorify Him. Those around you will notice your virtuous, sanctified, faithful behavior via living in obedience to Him, including managing income and assets He allows to come into your life. As a result of lifting up Him and His ways many people will be drawn to Him.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
