Where to Find God's Love

The following insight/ revelation is from the article "Choosing God's Will" by Dave Hunt in The Berean Call March 2018 newsletter:

"Where shall we find this love that we must have for God, and without which we cannot please Him? It’s not hiding somewhere in our hearts waiting to be discovered. Nor is it a potential that we have that only needs to be developed. We can’t work it up. It can’t be produced by effort.

"This love is not in us at all. Though it involves our will and emotions, it comes from God alone.

"How then is this love produced? Love is the fruit that the Spirit bears in our lives (Gal:5:22). It is miraculous, like the fruit on a tree—something that only God could produce.

"Yet we aren’t like a tree, which has no will or emotions. Obviously, much more is involved when the Spirit bears fruit in the believer’s life than is involved in fruit-bearing in nature. His love is the key."
