How can we demonstrate our love for God? By accepting His Son as our personal Savior and by placing Christ squarely at the center of our lives and our hearts. Jesus said that if we are to love Him, we must obey His commandments (John 14:15). Thus, our obedience to the Master is an expression of our love for Him.
In Ephesians 2:10 we read, "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works". These words are instructive: We are not saved by good works but for good works. Good works are not the root but rather the fruit of our salvation.
Today, let the fruits of your stewardship be a clear demonstration of your love for Christ. When you do, your good heart will bring forth many good things for yourself and for God. Christ has given you spiritual abundance and eternal life. You, in turn, owe Him good treasure from a single obedient heart...yours.

Prayer from the Blogger:
Lord Jesus, thank you for the gift of salvation. Thank you for the commands that point us to a life in You. Help us Lord, for when we are obedient to Your commands we show the world that we love You. Let our love be expressed in obedience to You, and through the works of kindness that reflect the love You have for us.
Amen
Digging Deeper:
Read Matthew 12:33-37
1. Can the same act performed by two different people be both good and evil, depending on their hearts? (Can preaching the word of God be both good and evil?). If so, how?
Digging Even Deeper:
Challenge - Build a treasury of good in your heart so that you will produce good works and speech.
