He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. (John 21:16 ) "Lovest thou me" 1/ Reasons why poor sinners love the Lord . 2/ Reasons why love is cold . 3/ How love is manifested in us . Sermon summary The sermon explores the profound question of whether believers truly love God, drawing heavily from John 21 and the example of Peter's restoration. It emphasizes that while God's love is the origin of our love for Him, genuine love is demonstrated not merely through feelings, but through obedience to His commandments, a compassionate concern for fellow believers, and practical acts of service. The message underscores that while the Holy Spirit can shed abroad God's love in the heart, it is through consistent action and a sincere commitment to God's will that this love is truly evidenced and sustained, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of God's grace and a more meaningful relationship with Him.
