Loving Jesus Means Loving His Church Too
All who love Jesus Christ the Lord ought to care deeply about the church, just because the church is the object of Jesus’ own love. Church-centeredness is thus one way in which Christ-centeredness ought to find expression.
J. I. Packer, A Passion for Faithfulness (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Books, 1995), xi.
The Gospel Is
The Gospel is: you are more sinful and flawed than you ever dared believe yet you can be more accepted and loved than you ever dared hope at the same time because Jesus Christ lived and died in your place.
The Cross Is a Pulpit
The Cross is a pulpit, and the lesson Christ preached on it is love.
The Measure of Love
Love is measured, not by feelings, or sighs, or tears, but by acts. You love Christ by just as much as you are prepared to do, or suffer, or give up for Him.
F. B. Meyer, Tried by Fire: Expositions of the First Epistle of Peter, p. 42
God Knows You Better Than You Know Yourself
The marvelous truth is that the One who knows us best is the One who loves us most.
“My Yoke Is Easy”
Duties not mingled with love are as burdensome to God as they are to us.
The Embodiment of Humility
Christ is the humility of God embodied in human nature; the Eternal Love humbling itself, clothing itself in the garb of meekness and gentleness, to win and serve and save us.

Loving To Be Loved

God-centered Satisfaction
Love is the result of seeking the fullness of our God-centered satisfaction in the eternal satisfaction of others.
