The Bible Speaks to You: Think, Pray, Love like Jesus
Have you ever poured out your heart, almost begging God to solve a problem, but it doesn’t feel like your prayer is ever answered? You wonder if there’s a better way to pray you don’t know about. Then some days, you really connect with God in prayer and it just makes you want to be closer to Him?
Each week The Bible Speaks to You Podcast helps you rediscover the original Christianity of Jesus. Host James Early, Bible teacher and speaker, and an occasional guest dig deep into how to think, pray, and love like Jesus. And how to experience more of Jesus’s promise that “the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
The Bible Speaks to You: Think, Pray, Love like Jesus

364 – How can you show Jesus how much you love him?
There are so many ways to show someone you love them.
- You can tell them directly: I love you
- You can show your love by how you act and how you treat them
- You can listen to get to know them better
- You might give them something or do something for them
- Or just spend time with them
Now think of how these things apply to how you love Jesus.
But Jesus isn't here in person the way he was 2,000 years ago. So how can you show Jesus you love him?
In this week's episode:
- The best way to show your love for Jesus is to obey his commandments
- What is true obedience?
- How will Jesus know you love him? By how you treat others
- Focus on one command of Jesus you're not obeying right now, like forgiveness
- Forgive that person who is hard to forgive
- Find one person who is hard to love and love them the way you would love Jesus. Treat them the way you would treat Jesus
The more you obey Jesus and love people the way you love Jesus, the more you become like him and the more you will show your love for him.
At some point you will no longer wonder how to love Jesus more, because you’ll be doing it and others will learn how to love Jesus by your example.
