đDemand #9đ
âJesusâ demand to love God with all our heart and soul and mind and strength means that every impulse and every act of every faculty and every capacity should be an expression of treasuring God above all things. Jesus warned that this most important of all demands would be widely forsaken in the last days. âBecause lawlessness is increased, most peopleâs love will grow coldâ (Matt. 24:12, NASB).
Beware lest your love for God grow cold in these days. Remember, we will love him to the degree that we know him. And remember that only Jesus can make him known in truth and fullness (Matt. 11:27). Therefore, look steadily at Jesus and pray that he would reveal God as compellingly beautiful. âWhoever has seen me has seen the Fatherâ (John 14:9)."

đExigencia #9đ
âLa exigencia de JesĂșs de amar a Dios con todo nuestro corazĂłn, alma, mente y fuerzas significa que cada impulso y cada acto de cada facultad y capacidad que tenemos debe ser una expresiĂłn de atesorar a Dios sobre todas las cosas. JesĂșs advirtiĂł que el mĂĄs importante de todos los mandamientos serĂa abandonado en los Ășltimos dĂas. ây por haberse multiplicado la maldad, el amor de muchos se enfriarĂĄâ. (Mateo 24:12, RV60).
Ten cuidado de que tu amor por Dios no se enfrĂe en estos dĂas. Recuerda, lo amaremos en la medida en que lo conozcamos. Y recuerda que solo JesĂșs puede darlo a conocer en verdad y plenitud (Mat. 11:27). Por lo tanto, mira fijamente a JesĂșs y ora para que te revele a Dios como una belleza irresistible. âEl que me ha visto a mĂ, ha visto al Padreâ (Juan 14: 9)".
