How to Satisfy God

Is God satisfied with your life? How can you satisfy God's requirements? The Bible is clear on how you can satisfy God. You must love others. Jesus taught to love God and others summarizes all that God expects from us.

Is it hard for you to love others? Oh, I know it's easy for us to love those who love us, but God wants us to love everyone. That's not just hard to do. It's absolutely impossible until God changes our hearts. When God's love changes us, then we can love everyone. It's the Spirit of Christ working in our hearts.

The very essence of God's nature is love. He loves people not because of what they do or don't do. He loves people simply because he is love. He wants to love others through you. He knows that you can't do that unless his love does it through you.

Ask God to fill you with his love through the Holy Spirit, in the name of his Son Jesus. He will. Then, you will discover that God is satisfied with you, because God is satisfied in himself, and God is love.

"Love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no wrong to anyone, so love satisfies all of God's requirements" (Romans 13:9-10, NLT).
"We love each other as a result of his loving us first" (1 John 4:19, NLT).
