If we know the Truth but refuse to live by it, this reveals a tremendous lack of love on many levels.
• A lack of love for God: If we truly loved Him with all our hearts, we would be doing His will to please Him and to be with Him forever (Mt. 22:36-38; 1 Jn. 2:3-4; 5:3).
• A lack of love for Christ: If we truly loved God’s Son, we would be obeying Him out of gratitude for His selfless sacrifice: “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (Jn. 14:15, 21-24; cf. 2 Cor. 8:9).
• A lack of love for God’s Word: If we truly loved the Scriptures, we would be studying them and living by them (Psa. 119:11, 105, 127; Mt. 4:4).
• A lack of love for righteousness: If we truly loved righteousness, we would hate all forms of sin (Psa. 101:2-3; Rom. 12:9).
• A lack of love for others: If we truly loved other people, we would set an example that helps them spiritually instead of hindering them (1 Jn. 2:10).
• A lack of love for our own souls: If we truly loved our souls, we would live to protect them, “committing our souls to Him in well-doing” (1 Pet. 4:19; cf. Mt. 16:26-27).
If we have not been the loving people we should be, let us choose a life of love over selfishness. Otherwise, we will regret our lack of love eternally.
