Love is the fulfilling of God’s law in the New Testament. It is the supreme principle of life in the Kingdom of God. Every Christian is required and expected to make love their lifestyle and walk in love always. Your maturity in God is determined by how much of God’s love is in you, and how much of it you walk in towards others. It demonstrates that you have been filled with the fullness of God. (ref Eph. 3:19–20) As you grow in love, you are becoming fuller with the presence of God and your appreciation of God, others and your purpose in Christ change greatly. You become more like Christ as you walk in love. A very compelling description of love and its divine attributes is found in 1 Corinthians 13. Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not conceited, does not act improperly, is not selfish, is not provoked, and does not keep a record of wrongs. Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. 1 Corinthians 13:4–8, Make it your daily commitment to pray for God’s grace to walk in this kind of love. 2. Pray that God will help you to walk by faith in His Word There are very few things that are impossible according to the Word of God. The Bible does say it is impossible to please God without faith. So it’s important for a child of God, not only to learn the message of faith in God, but also to make it a part of your daily life. Faith is the beginning of the Christian life. One becomes a Christian, or a believer, well, by believing — believing in Jesus Christ and what He did for humanity on the cross of Calvary. That faith in the gospel is what brings a person to a new life in Christ Jesus. Faith in God will help you walk closely with the Lord and do what God says always. It is that quality of building your life around what God says, and living by His principles, expectations and standards. It is what brings you to the enjoyment of all that God has done for you in Christ Jesus. Faith is a necessary requirement to walk with a God whom you cannot see with your natural eyes. 3. Ask God to give you more and more grace Grace is the beauty of God on the life of a man. One of the commonest definitions of grace is that it is unmerited favour. We find that grace of God expressed on many levels in many ways. The first manifestation of the grace of God, is the one that made possible a way of salvation for fallen man. The Bible shows that God’s grace that brings salvation, is what brought Jesus in to save man. (ref Titus 2:11–14) Beyond that, the grace of God is necessary to receive all the blessings that God has for His children. It is important to understand that God’s blessings are not earned by meritorious works. 4. Ask God to grant you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in God’s wisdom and revelation in God’s Word
