God is love and He created us to receive His love. Because we came from a loving God who is also a giver, we have the capacity not only to receive love, but also to give it back. Worship takes place when God gives His love, and we receive His love and give it back to Him. Our spirit interacts with God’s Spirit, and love is exchanged. God loves and gives; we receive and respond, giving back to God the love He has already poured out on us.

Abiding in Christ

Such an intimate interchange of love as this requires that we stay close to God. Intimacy is impossible at a distance. Part of loving God, then, is maintaining our “connection” to Him. He is the source for everything we have and are and ever hope to be. The answers to all of our questions lie within God. The solutions to all of our problems are deposited in God. In Him resides peace for our confusion. God holds the key to every mystery and to all that is unknown. Wisdom, knowledge, and life itself are found in Him.

This is the point Jesus was making when He compared the relationship between His followers and Himself with branches on a vine.

I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener…. Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you…. As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Now remain in My love. If you obey My commands, you will remain in My love, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commands and remain in His love (John 15:1,4-7,9-10).
