We know we love Jesus by our thoughts, our longing for Him, and our actions that reflect that love.
Understanding how we know we love Jesus involves observing our thoughts, affections, and actions. The sermon explains that when we love someone, we cannot help but think about them and desire their presence in our lives. Additionally, love manifests in how we speak about them and our longing to be with them, as seen in the believer's desire for Christ's return. In practical terms, our love should compel us to serve others and engage in the community of faith with a spirit of love and dedication. The presence of love in our hearts confirms our relationship with Jesus and serves as an assurance of our salvation, demonstrating that we are indeed connected to Him through the new birth.
