Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

God not only told us He loved us but then He also showed us with action following. So many times we tell God that we love Him with our lips but our lives do not reflect that. God is calling us to demonstrate our love for Him through action. In other words, showing God that we love him through our lives. 

We all remember the encounter that Peter Had with Jesus in John 21 where Jesus asked Peter if he loved Him. Peter denied three times and Jesus gave Peter the opportunity to tell Him he loved him three times. Peter answers were I love you. At the end of this exchange you will notice that Jesus said "Follow Me". Jesus was saying that if you love me then you will :Follow Me." 

This is how we show God that we love Him and it is simply by "Following Him" in our everyday life. 

May the goodness and mercy of the Lord be with you today!
