Do You Truly Love God? EP. 11

What would happen if your faith was put on trial? Would there be enough evidence to convict you of truly loving God? This thought-provoking episode challenges believers to examine the authenticity of their relationship with Christ beyond mere words or social media declarations.

We often focus on how much God loves us – rightfully emphasizing John 3:16 and the sacrifice of Christ – but rarely turn the question around to ask ourselves: do we genuinely love God? And if so, what tangible evidence exists in our daily lives that would prove this love?

Jesus stated it plainly: "If you love me, obey my commandments." This simple yet profound statement reveals that love isn't measured by feelings or declarations but through obedience. Many believers today fill churches without demonstrating this love through transformed lives. They resist challenges to live differently, approaching faith as a spectator sport rather than a life-changing relationship.

The podcast offers five practical ways to demonstrate authentic love for God: prioritizing Him daily, choosing Him over convenience, serving His people (even when you don't feel like it), living with an eternal focus, and staying faithful during difficult seasons. Anyone can praise God when life is good, but love is proven in the fire – when prayers seem unanswered and challenges persist.

Whether you're struggling with complacency in your faith or seeking to deepen your relationship with God, this message will challenge you to move beyond casual Christianity and embrace a faith that transforms every aspect of your life. What parts of your life are you still holding back? What might God be asking you to surrender today?

Speaker 1: 0:02

hey, cutie, I love you. She's mad because I threw her out because I'm doing a podcast. Life is tough. You can also find a PayPal link below if you want to give a one-time or give a monthly to support the channel. Anything, great or small, is appreciated. Now let's get into the video. What is up? Faith and failures. Thank you for joining me for another episode. It is Monday. If you've been following along for a little bit, you know that you're recent Life has got extremely busy, so I have windled it down to once a month, the first Monday of every month, which is today.

Speaker 1: 1:16

So we're going to talk a little bit about a topic. Now, as a Christian, let me back up as, as believers, we always talk about to new believers or people who are not there yet, and we're trying to explain the love of god. We we quote john 3, 16. All of this is true for god's love, the world that he gave his only begotten son. It's almost like we try to bait them in for how much God loves them, which is true, which is accurate. But after you cross that line and now you are saved, the next question you should be asking yourself is do you love God? I 100% disagree with the Muslim belief of who God is and all the Quran and everything. But you've got to admire their dedication Like they are sincerely, over the top, dedicated to their God. And so I want to start with John, chapter 14, verse 15. It says pretty simply if you love me, obey my commandments.

Speaker 1: 2:36

So if you are a Christian, let me ask you this what is it in your life that proves that you actually love God? Does your mouth sound like you love God? Does your attitude show that you love God? Does your time, what you spend doing, does it show that you are actually about the Father's business, or are you about nothing but your own? Now, these sound like kind of in your face questions, but there's a reason. There's a bunch of weak Christians and they're filling up the churches. Don't challenge me. Don't tell me to live different. Don't tell me how to do my life. I'm going to do me and I'm just here for the show. To live different. Don't tell me how to do my life. I'm going to do me and I'm just here for the show. And what this does is it creates a church full of people who don't even know who God is. And that's just the facts.

Speaker 1: 3:33

So I'm going to give you a few points and I want you, if you're, if you're, I'm not putting it on the screen. Today I can't, although the next time I have a video I will be able to. I brought a new computer, the last one that I was doing, the live stream stuff on it got so stinking slow it was literally pointless and frustrating. That's why I've been doing all this stuff. I still have my microphones and everything and the whole setup, but I just roll with what I can do at the moment.

Speaker 1: 4:02

So point number one is let's point this out in the beginning that God's love is actually proven already. It's been proven. We can never question the love of God, because he showed it clearly through his son, john 3.16. We just quoted this. For God to love the whole world, he gave his one and only son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. Now, this isn't a cliche, it's not a haphazardly put verse, but it is the foundation of the Christian faith. God didn't just say I love you, but he proved it by the sacrifice of his one and only son. Jesus came down from heaven, took human form, bore our sins and died a brutal death on the cross, then he rose from the grave. If he just would have died, he would have been exactly what the Quran described him as as a good prophet.

Speaker 1: 5:02

And if you want to break down pretty quickly, where they worship Allah and they say that Jesus is a prophet, are prophets also liars? And if they say yes, then that means Muhammad had to be a liar. I mean he, obviously. I mean he already married, apparently, children that were little girls that were at least nine years old. That's called pedophilia. But if they say no, then Jesus, saying that he is the Messiah, he is the one true son of God, and the Bible saying that he is the word and the life he lived validated that word and showed it to be true and he fulfilled the law, he fulfilled the prophecy then everything on that side that they believe has to be false. So it's not hard to dismantle that. But most people overlook that because they're so strong in their belief they're argumentative without any backing. So God gave everything. Jesus sacrificed everything so we could live not only in this life but in eternity. So he did a work here so that we can live forever there. His love is proven. Love is proven. But here's the real question, now that we know that God loves us, how do we love him back? So let's think about this.

Speaker 1: 6:33

My second point if you were on trial? So imagine for a moment that you were on trial, you were put on trial and the charge is loving God. If the evidence was your conversations, your private decisions, your entertainment choices, your generosity, your prayer life, your hunger and thirst for righteousness, your hunger and thirst for God's word, would there be clear evidence that you belong to Jesus, that he is the Lord of your life, or would the evidence be minimal and you? It would only be circumstantial? Would your faith be casual, hidden when it's inconvenient? Now, this isn't to shame us, to shame you, but this is to wake you up and make you think. Like just to shame you, but this is to wake you up and make you think like am I actually living a life? That if I was to be snatched up right now and put on trial which one day we all will be have I been living a life? Am I displaying the love for God in the things every day?

Speaker 1: 7:41

Now, let's make a very distinct line between good works and salvation. Good works does not produce salvation, but salvation produces out of us good works. Faith without works is dead and you cannot please God. The word says without faith. You can't please God without faith. So it is a must that we have faith and that we say yes and believe. By grace, through faith, we are saved, and in that faith, in that grace, in that salvation, then the good works begin to flow out of us, and so that is the distinctive difference.

Speaker 1: 8:27

So wake up, examine yourself. I tell this to my church. If you don't know, I'm a lead pastor of a church here in Longview, texas, and I tell my people all the time. We cannot go out and tell people who don't know God, to tell them that they need to turn to Jesus, to turn to God, to tell them that they need to turn to Jesus, to turn to God, to give their life to God, when we ourselves have not been examining ourselves and looking and seeing. Am I who I say I am? Am I who the Bible says I should be? Because it's easy to fall into the trap of culture defining us, or our past defining us, or relationships defining us, all these other variables in our life that we allow to define us, instead of God defining us, the word defining us of who we are supposed to be as Christians and, in that definition, should change the way that we think. It should change the way that we speak. It should change the way that we look at people. It should change the way we interact with people.

Speaker 1: 9:35

When you've been saved by grace and you realize what God has saved you from and what he is calling you to, you begin to act in a way, accordingly to gratefulness. You are just so appreciative that God would even take the time to do what he's doing. That's how I am. I do not find it hard to remain humble, because I realize that the platform God has given me, the abilities God has given me, the family that God has given me, the abilities God has given me, the family that God has given me, all the blessings that he has chosen to allow me to receive, is not something that I have done or earned, but they have been direct gifts from him, from the very smallest detail to the greatest, and I'm so thankful and I come to God every single day with a thankful and grateful heart. We have these flags out in front of our church and one of them says this it's a challenge of 15, five, five and five, five minutes of prayer, five minutes of reading a word, five minutes of praising the Lord Every single day.

Speaker 1: 10:43

My suggestion is do it before you start your day. When I get up on a regular day and I take my son to school, I have worship music playing. When I come back, about a 10 minute drive, I have the Bible being read to me. So I'm preparing my heart. It may not be a lot, but it's in that moment. It's getting my mind wrapped around or focused on and getting prepared for the day, because your day can change like that and most of the time, if you're not prepared or ready and you haven't already made a conscious decision that you're going to respond not react, but respond in a way that is pleasing to the Lord, because you've already been spending time with him before your day began You're setting yourself up for success. Okay, it doesn't leave you just hanging to where you have to pick up the pieces later, because you've already decided you're going to honor God with the way that you are, the person that you are, so person that you are.

Speaker 1: 11:52

So the third point love is proven through obedience. So we're not called to just tell God we love him. We're not called to put it in our Instagram description or YouTube description or our TikTok description oh, I love Jesus and like, don't, don't tell people in your description of things that you love God and you're I'm just getting closer to Jesus. And then you're taking selfies all the time. It's pretty obvious, like who your platform is about by looking through your stuff. Excuse me. So love is proven through obedience. Not this, not your mouth just moving, but your body doing, your mind thinking. John 14, 15,.

Speaker 1: 12:30

We started off with this If you love me, obey my commandments. Love for God isn't about a feeling, but it is directly tied into a lifestyle. It's obedience. Your life should be about obedience. If you are not obeying the scripture, obeying the word, nobody's going to fill up a church probably listening to this. But I'm telling you right now, like if, if we want to be the church and the bride of Christ that Jesus is going to be thrilled to come back, for we need to get our crap together because Christ is going to come back. He's going to come back in the clouds on a white horse. I want it to be so obvious that I am his bride that he doesn't have to go searching trying to find me. I want to make it obvious where I am. I want to make it obvious whose I am. So obedience should be a lifestyle.

Speaker 1: 13:28

Obedience is how our love for God becomes visible. The things we do shows of the inner work that God has done. We can raise our hands in worship. We can post scriptures on our social media. We can wear Christian t-shirts I'm wearing one right now. This is our couples ministry t-shirt thing but if we're not living in obedience and living sacrificially, it's not love, it's performance. So let's be honest Partial obedience is still disobedience.

Speaker 1: 14:03

If I'm only picking and choosing what I want to obey God about or what I want to obey the Bible about, that I'm not actually living obedience. I'm living in a performance so that I stay in his good graces, so that he will accept me and so I can get into heaven. It's all about what I can get. It's all about what I can get out of the situation. And this is not a relationship, this is manipulation.

Speaker 1: 14:28

True love for God says not my will, but your will be done. Jesus displayed this in the example when he prayed in the garden before they came to get him to be beaten and crucified. He prayed, he was honest, he's like Lord, if this cup can be taken from me, please let it be taken. But he said but not my will, but your will. So not what I want, but, lord, what you want. So what is it in your life that you have kept as a possession for yourself, my precious? Some of you will get that, some of you have no clue. What is it that you've kept close to you? Or, like you, invite the Holy Spirit into your house and you say you can rearrange however you want, you can clean up, you can get rid of things, you can do whatever you want, but don't touch that room back there, because that's mine. We do that with God all the time. We try to hold on to things that is very clear or obvious that it needs to be gotten rid of.

Speaker 1: 15:34

Now I was talking with somebody last night in a meeting and talking about how some people's convictions of how they live their life, they push them on other people and make it to where they act. Like the Bible has said, like God said, don't do this. And so we have to be very careful to not push our convictions on other people. There's obvious things and then there's optional things. So for instance, like well, you know what If you're interested in and you have a specific topic, for instance, tattoos, uh, women, pastors, things like that comment down below and let me know if you would be interested in a full video for those specific topics, expanding on that. And what does the bible say? Not opinion, but what does the bible say? Not opinion, but what does the Bible say about those things? Let me know in the comments and I will make a video specifically for you.

Speaker 1: 16:35

So point number four one day we will give an account for everything we have said and done. There's a powerful message that reminds us that everything in our lives is being recorded one and one day will be reviewed. Romans 14, 10 through 12. So why do you condemn another believer? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before judgment seat of god, for the scriptures say as surely as I live the Lord, every knee will bend, every tongue will declare allegiance to God. Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God. Each of us, me, you, your mom, your dad, your sister, your auntie, your kids.

Speaker 1: 17:23

Everybody is going to say all right, give an account one day and stand before God and answer for what we have done and said, we will stand before God. This is where Jesus comes in. He took the punishment. The grave, the empty grave, is a receipt. He was not just another prophet, but he was the one true son of God. He was the ultimate sacrifice. He was the eternal sacrifice that we must accept for us to be saved.

Speaker 1: 17:55

Okay, so there's no excuses. When you stand before God, you can't say, well, I didn't, I had a bad life, or I grew up in this neighborhood, or I didn't have this opportunity, this, and that there's not going to be any excuse. There's just going to be you and God. You can't hide behind your title. You can't even hide behind your ministries or church attendance, not behind your pastor, not behind your spouse. You can't hide behind your parents or your neighbors.

Speaker 1: 18:25

Every person is going to give their own account for their life. Every day, you lay your head down on your pillow. Every night, you have to account for what happened that day. Other people are going to do things around you and you may say, well, I acted that way because they acted, or they said this, they attacked me, they came after my family. I understand. I'm not saying that you don't have reasons. What I'm saying is you are going to be held accountable.

Speaker 1: 19:03

I try to get this through my teenager's head all the time. Of course. The kid's 16, he's about to be 17. The brain cells are about this far apart by now. They're not touching anymore Until he gets closer to 25 and 30 and they'll come back, hopefully, lord. But I've been there, I understand that. And so responsibility in this house. He's great with other people, but in this house, responsibility is something that sometimes and we as adults do this we will make excuses instead of owning up to what we've done wrong. And it's everybody else's fault. Everybody else is the problem. Surely, it can't be me. So we will give an account and we cannot hide behind anybody. We will give a personal account.

Speaker 1: 19:47

That means God won't just ask did you go to church? Did you pay your tithes? Did you give offering? Did you volunteer your time? Then there's not going to be any of this like what did you do? As far as, like, what's the good stuff you did that will outweigh and get you into heaven, outweigh all your bad stuff? He's going to ask do you love me with all your heart, your soul, your mind and your strength? Did you obey me when it cost you something? Did you live for my glory. This is God saying this my glory or your comfort or your glory?

Speaker 1: 20:23

We have a lot of celebrity pastors right now that they are so self-absorbed and wrapped up in their image and they keep drifting away from what God wants the church to be because they're so concerned about they have made themselves into an image or an idol. So all these questions that I've been asking you, remember, I started off with a question if you were put on trial, would you be found guilty? So would you? Let me give you a few practical ways that you can be found guilty. I never want to leave a podcast and not give you any kind of hope or a sense of like. You can do it because you can. So how do we do this? We're going to look at five things. Okay, if you want to write this down, prioritize God daily. That's why I told you the five, five and five a minute ago. Five minutes is nothing. Two or three, almost all of them you can do at the same time if you really wanted to. It doesn't mean you're going to have 15 minutes. You can do seven minutes of the same two. You can overlap them very, very easily, but make God number one in your life.

Speaker 1: 21:37

It's extremely hard and difficult sometimes to, especially when we get busy. We got family stuff, the kids got soccer, tennis, whatever it is, I got football games, and then we got church and this and that you can serve God your entire life at a church and not have a good, solid relationship with God because you're doing things for God, for the church, for the bigger picture, and you forget to have a relationship with God. Like very simply stated, this will help you have a little bit of an understanding. But you can do the same in a marriage. You can have all the things going on, you can eat together as a family, you can take your kids to this, you can go to their events here, go to their schools, this and that, but you can get caught up in doing so much that you just forget to be and have a strong relationship. It's very easy to do and we do the same thing with God. Spend time with Him in prayer, spend time with God in Scripture, and not just on Sunday. This should be a daily thing for those who love God. The second one is choose Him over convenience. When temptation comes, when you're tired, when obedience costs, you choose him anyway, that's love.

Speaker 1: 23:06

Number three is serve his people. I've been in some pretty dark places in my life or some kind of places in my head where I kind of get caught up in thoughts that probably shouldn't be there, or self-pity stuff where I'm like, oh, my life sucks, or whatever. Well, when I get in those places but I serve other people, my spirits get lifted because I'm serving. You'd think it'd be the opposite, like to get out of that funk. You would think that someone coming and serving you would make you feel better. But it's actually the opposite. When you stop making things about yourself and you serve other people outside of your comfort zone, there's just something about it that makes you feel fulfilled by, even though you may not feel good and you're in a bad spot, you're serving other people. So if you've never done it before, I highly encourage you to do that.

Speaker 1: 24:04

Number four is live with eternal focus. This is one that's so hard for people today. Don't chase the world's pleasures. A love for God changes your perspective. You live with heaven in mind. This should change what you pursue and how you pursue it.

Speaker 1: 24:29

For instance, relationships was a big one for me. I didn't feel loved, wanted or cared for until God was number one in my life. I was always chasing after that next relationship. I thought if I had someone, I would be someone to someone else, if that makes sense. So I had to figure out that God was the only one that could actually satisfy that inside of me and I had to. I had to let him be that for me. And when I did that it made me not chase after other people, other people's approval, but it actually began to help me become more of the man of God I needed to be, because I wasn't taking other people's opinion and making it truth. I was taking truth and making it my definition, if that makes sense.

Speaker 1: 25:27

I excluded all the negativity and toxic things in my life, whether people were saying it or not. Like my relationship with my ex-wife now is good, but at one point like she would call me stupid and she would. She would say things to me that just it left me like with my head covered up in depression for days. Sometimes it would make me want to drink more, it'd make me want to get high more, and but even though she said those things, I'm still responsible for how I let those things affect me.

Speaker 1: 26:00

I'm not saying that you're, you're a bad person or you're in the wrong, but when you're when, because you feel that way, but when you're, when, you're established, solid in Christ, you build your definition from there and not other people's opinions. And so, because I chased after relationships so hard, I thought that that's when I had value, is when somebody else saw value in me because they wanted to be around me. When I gave that up, that control part of my life, that I thought that I had to control that or I did not have value, and I realized that God is the one that supplies my value. It made me actually live my life more fulfilled, because I wasn't defined by anything else except for what the word of God tells me, and that's a very freeing position. It's a hard position to find yourself in, but it's a very freeing place to be in when you're not consumed by all the nonsense and you can think more clearly, you can see more clearly, you pray more clearly, you read the Word more clearly Instead of like everything you read in the Word. Oh, that's exactly what I'm going through right now. It's not all about you.

Speaker 1: 27:09

There's a shift when you're just reading to get closer to God and you're not reading the Word to be validated to get closer to God, and you're not reading the word to be validated, because the word wasn't written to validate you. It's there to instruct you, so, but it also is there to define you, and in that definition comes validation, because you're starting with Christ. You're starting with what the word says and not the other way around, because if you this is a confirmation bias, I'll dive into it. Just a second Confirmation. Bias is when you have something in your mind and you look up Bible studies or you look up TikTok, instagram, whatever YouTube channels and everything that you are wanting to see or hear comes up and you use it as a place to argue your position and it becomes toxic to you and you don't even realize it, because it feels good to you, and so you go down a rabbit trail of a bunch of nonsense that just puffs you up even more instead of challenging you. It's sugarcoating and tickling your ears. So you got to be careful with that, because we can use the word in that same way to win an argument or make ourselves feel like we've done it right, not all the time, but just pray and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you, because that's all another podcast in itself.

Speaker 1: 28:30

Stay faithful in the fire so anyone can praise God when things are going really good. I know I'm very good at praising the Lord when everything is going right, but do you still love him when the prayers go unanswered, when the storms don't stop, when you're still out there struggling, you're still climbing up that same hill you've been climbing up. You're still on the same. Round and round and round we go. If you're still on the same, round and round and round we go. Like are you a child to where you whine about being on the ride, or are you going to be a man or a woman of God and say my Lord is in control? If I'm still here, I haven't learned something? Or maybe God is doing something that actually has nothing to do with you, but he knows he can trust you to be faithful and stay there instead of run or try to get out of the situation. Maybe God's honoring you in that way. I know that it seems backwards, but so does.

Speaker 1: 29:26

Pray for your enemies and pray blessings over your enemies. Like no, that's not what God wants. He wants me to pray that they stub their toes so bad that they just change. That was the Christian version. But what is God trying to teach you? What is God leading you to Like? Are you going to stay faithful? And staying faithful doesn't mean you stay there and you whine about being there the whole time.

Speaker 1: 29:51

That's not being faithful. That's complaining. That's mumbling and grumbling. Ungrateful. That's complaining. That's mumbling and grumbling, which is exactly why God ended up keeping the children of Israel in the desert, because they were ungrateful for where they were. I need to get closer. They were ungrateful for where God had led them to, even though he provided along the way. It wasn't pleasant, but then they fantasized about being back in captivity, being back in slavery, being back where they begged God to bring them out of, because they just didn't like where they were at, which is understandable. They were in the desert, it wasn't like they were in an oasis, or they were over in Hawaii. They were in the desert, it wasn't pleasant, but they were provided for.

Speaker 1: 30:40

So why are you going through the desert? Look around, because I guarantee you you've gotten severely ungrateful and you've forgotten that God has supplied, even though the journey might be unpleasant in the moment, and you're not yet in the promise that he is, that he is leading you to. You've got to learn to be grateful, even in the desert. That was for free first. John 419. We love each other because he loved us first. So let your life testify. Let your obedience be the proof of your love for God. Let your priorities be the evidence of your love for God. Let your surrender be the statement I love God.

Speaker 1: 31:36

And here, the way I live, the way I speak, the way I interact, the way I represent you know why people don't come to church anymore. It's because Christians have not been representing the love, the forgiveness that Christ. If you're like, oh well, I'm just done with them. That is not. That is not the way of Christ at all. Even Christ, hanging on the cross between two thieves, looked down and he said Father, forgive them. They don't know what they're doing. The very people that put him up there, the soldiers that were standing around there, that put the nails in his hands and his feet, that pierced his side, that he was praying that God would forgive them. I don't know if I could do that, but that's what Christ is trying to call us to as believers. How can they know the love of God? By the love for each other and by the way we show and love them. That is the proof that we have been set free, transformed and redeemed, that our heart of stone has become a heart of flesh, because we now act different.

Speaker 1: 32:48

If you're not acting different, I question if you have ever given your life to God. Or maybe you have given your life to God and you have become so complacent that no one wants to be around you. Check yourself, because you may be the reason some people are not even coming to church. Don't claim Christ and then act like a jerk. Check yourself, examine yourself, so ask yourself this am I truly living like someone who loves God? What is God asking you to surrender? What parts? It may be your mouth. It may be your thought process. It may be how you make everything about you. It may be your thought process. It may be how you make everything about you. It may be your pride, maybe your anxiety, maybe depression, maybe your relationships. What is God calling you to let go of so that he can begin to actually do the work in you and through you that he desires? He's put you in a place of where you are right now for a purpose, and you will block that purpose. You will be out of the will of God because you're not willing to let things go and let God be God in your life and the God of your life. Because you're not acting like you love him. This is easy to drift away from. You're not acting like you love him. This is easy to drift away from.

Speaker 1: 34:16

Relationships marriages are the greatest example to me of our relationship with God, because when we come to Christ, in the very beginning we're on fire. We want to save the world, we want to charge the gates of hell with a water pistol, we want to anoint everybody and watch healings and watch. I mean we are on fire, but after a few years that fire easily fades, just like in our marriages. When we first get married. We're still dating her, from my perspective. We're still in love. We're.

Speaker 1: 34:45

Everything about her is cute, and then the very things that we thought was cute now annoy us Five, 10 years later. The things that we thought was cute now annoy us Five, ten years later. The things that she used to do is now like would you just shut up? Like I don't even understand why are you doing that? Because we forget, we stop pursuing and we start getting so comfortable that we lose an appreciation for what we're actually blessed with, and the same goes with God. We come to Christ. We say, lord, you are my God, and then a few years later, we get so comfortable that if we were put on trial, I don't know if anybody could find this guilty, because we don't act like we love God anymore. We just talk about how much he loves us. Surely he wouldn't let me go to hell. Surely he wouldn't act like you want to go there. Because if God is our God, we serve him.

What does the word say that a Christian should look like? Not what's your opinion, not how culture has changed. What does the word say that a believer should look like? How should we be living our lives? I'm not going to give you scriptures. I'm not going to give you any more points. You need to figure this out for yourself. You don't need a guy on YouTube telling you how to live a Christian life and spoon feeding you when you're not willing to do the due diligence and search for yourself, because if you're not willing to do that, you probably won't last long. That's a little harsh. I know it's not like good job guys, welcome to my YouTube channel, but you need somebody to tell you the truth, that you need to stop being a baby and being weak in your walk and you need to step up and be the man or woman of God that he has called you to be, that he has designed you to be, and quit worrying about all the other stuff. You are called, every believer is called to live their life according to scripture and what the word says Not preference, not denomination, not some manipulated version of scripture, but what does the word say and that that will produce the maximum amount of spiritual fruit in your life.
