We understand your fear and struggle to love God as you desire. Let us address this together and seek God's will for your life.
Firstly, it is important to understand that loving God is not merely an emotional feeling, but a state of the heart that is cultivated through obedience and faith. As it is written in
1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
John 14:15
If you love me, keep my commandments.
Your desire to love God and to be a true born-again believer is a good thing. It shows that the Holy Spirit is already working in your heart. To be born again, you must believe in Jesus Christ. It is through faith in Him that we are saved and made new.
John 3:3
Jesus answered him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Romans 10:9
that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this person who desires to love You more and to be a true born-again believer. We ask that You grant them a new heart, a heart that longs to love and obey You. Open their eyes to see Your glory and to worship You in spirit and in truth.
Father, we know that it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved and made new. We pray that this person will believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, confessing with their mouth and believing in their heart that You have raised Him from the dead.
Give them the power of the Holy Spirit to walk in obedience to Your commandments, not as a burden, but as a joyful response to Your love for them. Help them to understand that loving You is not just an emotional feeling, but a state of the heart that is cultivated through obedience and faith.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved.
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
If you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so today. Believe in Him, confess Him with your mouth, and you will be saved. Then, walk in obedience to His commandments, and you will grow in your love for God.
