The Loyalty of a Christian: Establishing a Measure of Faith

When you really love Jesus and this love becomes more than just words, you start to love people and do what it takes to help them, in spite of what it may cost you. When you really love others with Christ Jesus's love, you are forced to conquer whatever your personal problems are in order to forgive and be forgiven.

The more you love Jesus, the greater your loving concern for everyone will be. The more you love Jesus, the more you will feel real pain for others. The more you love Jesus, the more you will want to obey Jesus; allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to work in and through you to produce more spiritual fruit in you. The more spiritual growth you receive, the more fleshly wars and the more spiritual wars you will become involved in with yourself and with Satan.

Beware, Satan will quite often hassle you in the secrets of your own mind over your past sins or even the sins of your loved ones. There may be spiritual wars that you will have to fight. At times you may feel these battles are not your responsibility, so you don't deserve them because they were not your fault. However, you are still forced to fight them secretly, because Satan's plan is to bind up and destroy all Christians.

Remember, Satan cannot win over you if you stay true to Jesus and keep your mind fixed on HIM.
