Respect and love

You respect your parents because you are receiving some benefits from them at present and expect to receive more benefits in the future. However, you love your wife and children because you are giving your earnings to them. Therefore, when you aspire for something from God you can be said to respect Him. When you sacrifice something to God without any aspiration in return, you can be said to love Him. God likes love and not mere respect. Such love, which involves sacrifice alone, and not any aspiration for benefit from God, is called as reallove for God. That means that you should sacrifice for God’s work and not aspire for anything from God in return.

I respect my parents because God commanded me to do so, and I love my wife and children because God commanded it and made it natural to the human heart to do so.

At the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ, the true God and Saviour.
