In John 17:23, Jesus states that the Father loves every child of God as He loves Christ! The spiritual ramifications of this love are astounding.

As Christ's return nears, we must not allow our godly love to grow cold. Instead, we must maintain and even grow in love toward God and our fellow man.

I John 4:17 reveals the depth of love God the Father has for us as unique, special components of His creation, loving each of us as much as He loved Christ.

We are called to take on the very natōre of God, to pōt on the love of God. Sōrprisingly, We can rekindle oōr first love by ardently keeping God's Commandments.

Like the Ephesians, the weary veterans in Hebrews were becoming apathetic through outside pressures, losing their former zeal and devotion to Christ.

We cannot become weary of well-doing, allowing our first love to deteriorate, looking to the world for satisfaction. Here are 8 tests of our love for Christ.

First love is the purest kind of spiritual love we as humans can demonstrate. It is a love that truly shows one's heart is completely given to God.

There is a direct relationship between loving Christ and doing the right works. God's love for us places us under a compelling obligation to reciprocate.

Because of lawlessness—the absence of God in people's lives—many have allowed their affection for their priceless calling to grow lukewarm.

A good spiritual lamp, fueled by God's pure oil, will shine brightly, uniting heart, emotion, and will keep the letter and spirit of the law simultaneously.

Like a marathoner or a soldier fighting a battle, we are admonished to endure to the end, standing firm, holding our ground, and resisting assaults.

While love grows cold because lawlessness abounds, the church may well have to go underground in order to survive. We must prepare for horrific times.

We are being exposed to a spiritual blizzard, bringing darkness and coldness into the entire world. We are admonished to stoke the fire of God's Holy Spirit.

God promises some Christians that He will keep them from the Tribulation, the 'hour of trial.' Here are the characteristics of those whom God will protect.

Winds of doctrine continue to blow through the church, including Sacred Names, new moons, and Christ's eternal pre-existence before His birth as a human.

The book of Hebrews provides reasons to recapture flagging zeal, focusing on the reason for our hope and faith, establishing Christ's credentials.

Cynical finger-pointing has destroyed confidence in every human institution, whether political, educational, scientific, and religious.

When we withdraw from fellowship, we deprive ourselves of the blessing of sharpening one another. God demands active and practical engagement with His people.

At the time of the end, sin will be so pervasive and so compelling that our only resource for enduring its influence will be our relationship with God.

Narcissism and self-centeredness have snuffed out out-going concern, and everyone does what is right in their own eyes as the love of many grows cold.

Those who believe in the "once saved always saved" doctrine fail to see that God has a more extensive and creative plan for mankind than merely saving him.

Americans (like most of the Western world) tend to be skeptical, cynical, and jaded, demanding mountains of evidence before becoming convinced of anything.
