What happens when you say “Lord Jesus, I love You?”

 

We need to tell the Lord Jesus that we love Him. Lord Jesus, I love You. But what happens when we do so? Let’s consider three wonderful verses in John 14.

In John 14:23, the Lord told us, if anyone loves Me…My Father will love Him, and We will come to Him and make an abode with him. By saying, Lord Jesus, I love You, two marvelous things happen. First, God will love us back. God is love (1 John 4:8, 16), and when we love Him, we open ourselves to His love. The second thing that happens in this verse is that the Triune God will come and make His home in us. I often pray according to Ephesians 3:17, Lord, make Your home in my heart today. Well, here is a practical way for this to actually happen: Lord Jesus, I love You.

John 14:21 says, he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him. By loving the Lord, we are loved by our Father and the Lord will have a way to reveal Himself to us. When we love the Lord, the Lord will become so real to us.

In John 14:15, the Lord said, if you love Me, you will keep My commandments. When we love the Lord, we spontaneously will keep His commandments. It’s not a matter of trying or self-effort. Rather, it is the automatic response that results from our loving the Lord. Keeping His commandments is indicative of a daily living that is according to God and is well-pleasing to Him. 

So much happens when we open our mouth and say, Lord Jesus, I love You.

Lord Jesus, I love You! Make Your home more in my heart. Be so real to me. Cause my love for You to result in a living that is well-pleasing to You.

  10. Jesus, I love you. I have been young, and now I am old (66); and I know the faithfulness of the Lord. Wandered (prodigal daughter) for years, but He never let me go or gave up on me. Came to my senses at age 34, & it has been a long, rocky road, but what a ride!! I’m a living testament to how He will be faithful and true, no matter when we come to Him….all He asks is that we come and believe Him. How awesome is that? I’ve been a reader/student of the Bible since my baptism in 1987, and can never know all the answers, but we don’t have to; just continue to study to show ourselves approved. The Bible has completely changed my life. Oh, how I wish everyone could know the Savior, for He is full of loving kindness and understanding, always willing to forgive and teach us through the Holy Spirit. God bless all of you. Joanne
