Loving Jesus more than anyone else will cause you to be a better wife, mother, husband, father, sister, brother etc... The beautiful part is, you don't have to "try" to be better. Loving Him above all else, will make you a better person in every relationship by default. 💕

My husband left me Dec 23rd, my ex won't let me see my daughter after moving to a new state to be near her, I have no friends or family close by... I am FULL of gratitude & JOY, because God used this to call me closer to Him than I ever have been, and I've experienced Him for the 1st time in my life! I finally have a REAL authentic relationship with Him! ❤😭 After being connected to Him- all I want is YESHUA! Living without sin is soooo much easier when I let him in & spend time with him in my prayer closet & reading the bible every morning. Thank you Lord, Jesus for being my light in darkness & for saving me from the mire. I'm forever changed! ❤😭
I agree sister in Christ Jesus. I believe Your daughter has been taken from you by your husband although I don't know if he was right or wrong. I think God used this situation to humble you. God would never take away your child. As God humbled me I believe this here is a good experience more than a mere bad one. Eventually you will get to see your daughter i think if you truly turn your life around for Your daughters sake not for your own but because you get to your privilege that husband and wife have mother and father for their children A female will never imitate anything close to a. Male nor a male to a female. So get down on your knees and pray to go forward but with your husband if possible and pray to God to unite with husband and daughter. Don't do nothing. Don't simply sit there and whine that's not what a christian does but when it does hurt we can find comfort and God sometimes in other things but God first and foremost amen? Amen.
I CANNOT wait to hug Jesus like crazy!! I'm so loved and in love with my Lord. I'm so unworthy of His love that He lavishes. I'm so thankful for it. Glory to God forever. May the claim of foolishness and reproach be heaped upon me for the sake and love of Christ. I love you Jesus!
Soon, Andrew. You know what, I felt that way too when I prayed to Him it was as if talking to Him in prayer is getting old like "Lord, I wanna see you and know all about my questions when I was on earth and all my little curiosity abt life that only you knew." :) And also when things get kinda tricky in life and you just want Him to get you so you could experience His eternal peace and love and joy and praise His name forever and see His kingdom and that gold floor and walls the Bible talked abt and everything else that's incomparable to all the riches people keep on earth... The honor of being His child and btw, He's the King of kings and Lord of lords robed in majesty! Aaaah who among His children wouldn't be excited to exchange that for all the temporary happiness and life with punishments and consequences of sin, and disappointments, and pain, and war, and evil on Earth? My ultimate dream is the moment I die, He'll welcome me saying, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." So I pray we'll continue to live by His Word and grow more so we could follow Jesus. :)
1 thes. 5:23 the lord is sanctify us all the time! we just open and empty our entire being to Him to recieve Him as our life and even our person! Praise Jesus!
tamitha20 a tiny gleam in our soul does but the flesh together with the love of the world, for self, our dreams and ambitions hates Jesus, it opposes God in every way it knows how. Only Gods unmerited grace and love will produce the fruits of the spirits in us to love and be zealous about Him.
Hi tamitha20. So many misfortunes happen in the lives of people all over the world. Not everyone knows of Jesus and what He did on the cross. Some people reckon that if God really does love them He would not let them go through the unbelievable and imaginable pains they experience. Some of these experiences leave people bitter.
Let's be honest, it's easy to love and praise the Lord when life is peachy. The true test of your love is will you still trust and love Jesus when life is difficult and you don't understand.
I think it's also hard to love God when life is too good. Bible says it's hard for a rich man to go to heaven. It's best to be in the middle😂 not good, not too bad.
Jesus existed as a person, but Jesus the Messiah is a fictional figure posthumously glorified by anonymous hoaxer Christian writers making up fake miracles stories like resurrection, fake eyewitnesses, fake testimonials, and fake apostle stories. If Jesus had Godly powers, he would still be alive today living on earth. Resurrection & ascendance to heaven is a hoax that conveniently occurs in the past and easily fools the gullible folks.
@@AtamMardes I pray the Lord opens your eyes to the truth. I have seen miracles with my own two eyes. We dont just believe Jesus is the Messiah but we know for a fact that he is the Messiah. Every believer is given a unmerited gift of the Holy Spirt who guides us in all truth. If you want Jesus to reveal himself to you, seek him with a contrite heart and he will answer. God bless!
@@jesusislord9707 My friend, lifeforms needing to kill each other for meat is expected from an unplanned, unguided, mindless, & amoral evolutionary process, but is *NOT* expected from an omnipotent, mindful, & moral creator with intentions & an intelligent plan. You thank God for giving you life & also for giving life to the animals you eat. Don't see how the religion scam has fooled you to believe in an imaginary God by exploiting your hypocrisy, narcissism, ignorance, & arrogance? 🙏
@atam mardes You seem really angry at someone who you claim doesn’t exist. If everything was unguided as you state, then how are you objectively right vs my right to believe. Ask yourself, why do you care since with evolution, everything is all subjective. So whether someone believes in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, you have no bases of saying they are wrong. In the end we are both right, hence why evolution is so foolish. God gives everyone the choice to love him or not to love him. What’s true love if someone doesn’t give you a choice. We also don’t follow religion. To be a Christian, one has to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus is alive as much as our parents are alive and we know for a fact he exist. He has shown he is reliable and true by fulling all of his promises to us from the scriptures. We see the works of his hand in our lives daily. He wants to have a relationship with you and it’s up to you whether you accept or reject him. The Bible says its “appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement”. Either this statement is true or false, but nonetheless we all will get to experience the truth after death. All Praises to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. God bless!
That's actually what I'm longing for- to truly receive Christ, realize how much He has forgiven me and how much He loves me, so that I can be transformed and have the fullness of His Spirit. I've been a worker in our church for a long time but it seems like a very difficult journey having no passion for Him. I think the passion for the Lord can only be obtained when we truly get to know Him, not only by head knowledge but also by heart, like grasping how much He loves us. This is what I've been praying for.
@@harumanalphaessence3593 I don't understand your question in the context of the previous comments, but I will try to explain as best I can. God is a warrior in the sense that He takes vengeance on all His enemies. In His mercy, He has deemed in these latter times, to "wait" till judgment day to punish sin. He doesn't always wait, it is His prerogative how He judges us. And we know that whatever He chooses is the right way to exact this vengeance, and He is the only one who should exact this vengeance (Deuteronomy 32:35) . The only, and I mean ONLY, way to have peace with God and cease to be His enemy is through faith in the work of Jesus the Christ on the cross (Romans 5:1 along with many others). We all are God's enemy by nature and deserving of His wrath (Ephesians 2:3), so in His goodness, grace and mercy, He sent Jesus to be the atoning sacrifice, or propitiation, for our sins (1 John 4:10). God being a Warrior is just ONE aspect of His character. He is also filled with mercy for those who obey Him (Exodus 20:6), love (1 John 4:8), kindness, longsuffering and patience (Romans 2:4), and wants us to consider Him our Father and everything that relationship entails (Isaiah 64:8 along with many many others). I hope this answers your question, I'm sorry if it doesn't but like I said, I didn't understand your question in the context of the previous comments so I'm not quite sure as to what you're getting at.
Define a warrior. Is not a true warrior disciplined beyond other men? With more important judgement calls? Was not David Gods representative and a warrior King?
+Shweta Panchal yes God receives us just as we are. please take time to go to the Bible believing church, the master should be able to guide you. please let us know how it goes at the church.
What he said about the woman struck my heart so deeply. She wept at His feet and wash them with her hair because she was truly grateful for forgiving her. I forgot the goodness and mercy of God on my life because of religion. I remember God forgiving me of my sins and cleansing me from all unrighteousness, which leads to worshiping Him. Thank you, John for your hunger for God. I’m moved to tears...
If you had been given up for adoption at birth & you happen to have been adopted by a Hindu family, you would now most likely be saying you love Krishna. Almost always, early childhood brainwashing determines the religion you brand yourself with.

Been trudging through a long season of feeling apathetic in my faith and an unwillingness to develop intimacy with Jesus. But as I started struggling with community and friendships, I found myself longing to desire God again. I hate that it takes a certain aspect of my life to suffer before I realize my NEED and WANT for Jesus... but I can't deny it and I can only pray that my desire to return to the arms of my Father will grow stronger day by day. This video showed up at the perfect time.
Community and friendship that flows from that desire will be the best way to keep you in the desire I guess it's a good way to learn to leave some stuff to keep the faith
Need to pray for the people giving this message a thumbs down.., beautiful and true message. I use to think, how can I love Jesus, love God, more than family... Now I know, after loving Him more, that He opened my heart in a way I do love family and others more than I was capable of before, God comes first, the rest comes from Him like a loving heart transplant now. God transforms, refines and changes your heart in love, where love becomes every thing. 🕊💗
Breno Santana “That *ALL* men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him”(John 5:23). Tell me honestly; what is your understanding about this statement by the Lord? Here’s the logical flow of the text: if you worship God the Father as God, you do the same to the Son. If you deny the Son of the worship that is due only to God, then you are sinning against God. Do you see it? It is simply saying that whatever honor and worship you give to God, you give the same to the Son. That being said, it can only be true if the Son is God.
I love my family more than anything, but I love Jesus before anything else, because he gave me all those beautiful things. I am truly grateful for God's gifts he gave me, my woundful husband and children. With out God I would have nothing, he is everything.
If you had a single partial more of love for Christ. Your body could no longer contain your spirit. And you would just be transfigured before our eyes. Man your passion comes right through my phone screen. Straight into my soul. God bless you brother. I look forward to long walks with you in paradise very soon. 🕊🌬🌹
Luke 10:40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”:41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed-or indeed only one.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Love the Lord! "
Because Christian fundamentalists claim that they know the truth and don't have the intellectual honesty to admit that it's impossible to know if Jesus was really the Son of God. I understand that they have "faith", but that's the exact same method that people of completely different religions use to know that their religion is true. I'm agnostic because there's no way I can choose to believe in one supernatural myth over another supernatural myth.
+MatthewLedZepfan you don't really understand the concept of 'faith' since it is an old English word from Shakespearean times, meaning 'a trust based on evidence' nowadays most folk think of 'faith' as some magical force they have to hype up from within themselves, but when Christians originally used that term they were talking about a belief in God based on all the evidences He has presented so whenever a Christian tells you 'you have to have faith' or 'you just have to believe hard enough', they are in error and don't understand the very Gospel that Christ has presented to mankind - a 'good news' that God has become a man, in order to save men; evidencing His great love for the lost in dying on their behalf, and evidencing His authority and power by resurrecting if you truly concern yourself with such matters, i suggest you look into the evidence for the resurrection to see why we put our trust in Jesus
+MatthewLedZepfan Here's the thing Matthew: True Christians believe because they KNOW God is real, because they have felt Him and have His spirit inside them. It is very hard to explain...but we don't just believe, we know...and I wouldn't trade that wonderful love for anything. I would die before I denounce my Father. I pray that you find Him too.
+Carolina Neira: I like to say that our love is insufficient to honor our creator, not only because He created us, but also because He loved us so much He was willing to humiliate Himself and die a much worse death than we can imagine. So, what do we do if our love is insufficient? We borrow from God's love, which is enough for all things. Because God loved us so much, we should be able to rely on Him and love each other not just with our love, but from the overflow of what God has done for us.
We must be willing to give up it all for Jesus like Peter his wife and job and Andrew his job and James and John their families. John Piper brings up a valid point of what Jesus' says. A parents love for a child is so strong. They would do anything to save their child to keep their child and to love them so deeply. Even Abraham loved the LORD so much he took up his beloved son he waited for into such an old age. Do we really love Jesus more than our deep love for family or friends or even idols in our lives like entertainment or our job? We know at least 4 of Jesus' disciples gave up everything immediately to follow Jesus. Our love for Jesus should be so powerful we would forfeit our children we cherish and even our jobs and livelihoods if we loved him! We need to soul search and see where our hearts lie. It's very tough to love someone we can't see.
Very true Sir and I am happy for you that you understand this. May God grant you both this depth of love and the peace to enjoy what God is pleased to give you in Jesus name. Amen.
Brother Piper, you have blessed me so many times. I don’t expect we will ever be face to face in this world, but when we reach the next world, I hope to give you a big hug. Thank you!
Absolutely…the greatest feast for we the Ekklesia is with Him at the banquet table of His overwhelming GRACE, MERCY, and LOVE. King Savior Jesus is our eternal HOPE and PEACE. AMEN. ✝️🙏🔥📖❤️
It is hard to fathom with our limited mind the greatness of the almighty God and his love and mercy to us not for our sake for we are but dusts but for His glory...only God could give us the will to love Him with all our heart mind and soul which I pray for all of us who believes.All glory to God in the highest heaven Who is forevermore! Amen.
Praise be to the most high god this video is amazing after watching it and read luke 7 37-50 i fell on my face i felt the love for my saviour so much my debt was great but he has forgiven it all thank you Jesus my saviour! I hope everyone can feel his great love i have it is the best feeling ever!!
classyt20f7. We are children of a beloved Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ Himself who died for our sins so we could live, I am asking you classy to just live, and living starts with being newborn in Christ... He has his arms wide opened ALWAYS, one thought of yours about His Love makes a difference, you gotta begin somewhere, and when He hears your beatiful heart speaking to Him again heavens will rejoice and His cheeks shall go all blunty ❤️❤️❤️so run to Him. Lay down and put your hand on your beating heart breathe deeply and expirience His presence, tell Him Jesus Im yours, I will follow you, I beg you to stand before your cross,Lord pour your spirit on me. Amen. Hallelujah 🙌. This is only the beggining but I am so excited when somebody seeks God😂 Gloooryyy🙃
Gavin, I pray that your heart will be changed by God, and that you'll realize how deserving Jesus is for all our love and awe and reverence, he died on the cross for all and that includes you.
Jesus is God in the flesh when we love him to the best of our ability we are loving God we can do nothing without JESUS CHRIST because we are a wreck without Him and there is no life in us without Him even when we fall short of his glory he lifts us up not because we deserve it but because He is Love
I really appreciate how Dr. Piper delivers his sermons. I don’t feel that I’m being yelled at and condemned-He’s relatable and true to scripture. Thank you.
The love I have for my 9 year old son is bringing me to Christ. Can’t explain it but I’m more aware of God because of this deep love I have for my boy.
I’m sorry I sound crazy I just wanna fully love Jesus but I feel like I maybe putting more loving him than the Father and I know they are both one. I’m sorry I have OCD and it’s hard for me just to relax please pray for me God is my number one love I just wanna think of Jesus nonstop
I had OCD once. God let it get too much for me because I wasn’t listening to Him when He repeatedly gave me signs to give it over to Him. If God can do it for me, He can do it for you, too. I will be Praying. God has got you and He loves you ❤️
Hi Eric. I raised this question with my pastor about how sometimes it seems to me that God the Father takes a 'backseat' in my focus on Jesus. He encouraged me in the fact that Jesus has come to reveal the Father. He said, if you have seen me, you have seen the Father. As Jesus said, if you love God the Father, you will love me. (If you love Jesus, you love the Father also). Hope that is helpful
knowledge puffs up, LOVE builds up. Thank you for this word because I desperately needed it. I pray we as Christians Learn how to love people the way God loves us. I proclaim that whatever illnesses and heartbreaks and spirtual wickedness be shattered. God's love is more than able to deliver. more than able to conquer these strong holds in my life and in yours. let it be done by the blood. In Jesus name, Amen.
Amen. I will pray for your soul to steer clear of temptation. The devil is trying harder than ever to get our souls because the time of judgment is near.
I found this video by typing “ profound love for Jesus “ today while I was searching to find words to describe my love for Jesus , this pull to him that is so big ❤ absolutely love this message ❤
Is Jesus the Lord, God? No christian can produce a single biblical verse where Jesus, in his own words, says I'm God. Anyone can claim to be God, however, people of understanding know how to validate or invalidate such a claim. This is because God has qualities that no other being has. One of these qualities is " All-knowing". Any being who is not all-knowing can't be God. The Bible says " The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to find out if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs. ( Mark 11: 12-13 ). If Jesus is God, All-knowing, how come he didn't know the fig tree had no fruits on it? And why would an All-knowing being want to "find out" anything? Evidently, Jesus was not all-knowing, and therefore, he is not God. False hope is no substitute for the truth.
This is great sermon by a great pastor. It raises a good point and one which I needed to understand better. When I think of my sin and his death and suffering on the cross, I always tear up and have to fight the tears back. Mary washing Jesus's feet made me tear up again, because I know that I am a sinner too, who Desparately wants and genuinely seeks forgiveness from Christ for my many sins.
+SQUAREHEAD64 I often wonder that too. It seems that many think their ministry is to go around with a doctrinal checklist and make sure everyone is holding to it. Or they are evangelical anti-theists who enjoy bothering believers. In both cases, I have learned they are best ignored.
If you had been given up for adoption at birth & you happen to have been adopted by a Hindu family, you would now most likely be saying thank you Krishna. Almost always, early childhood brainwashing determines the religion you brand yourself with.
Dear FATHER, help me love you more, be the center of everything l do and may my life be that which brings Your Glory to your name. May l make up to getting to know you more and more of you and may my everyday Last page before l sleep be filled with your goodness JESUS, I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME EVEN WHEN I FELT UNWORTHY OF YOUR LOVE 🙏

It’s also not always a deep overwhelming emotion. But that knowing is so helpful, especially in times where we learn that faith is not a feeling, but a fact
Yes. I am so overwhelmed with love of Jesus. I get all emotional all the time when I think of him. Can’t wait to be in his presence very very very soon. Time is up looking up and going up. Amen hallelujah
He brings a valid point comparing a strong love for our family to what Jesus said about us not being worthy of Jesus if we love them more. Can we really love Jesus more than our beloved family? Lose them for Jesus' sake? Sacrifice our family for Jesus' sake? Abraham was tested by sacrificing his son, because he loved THE LORD more than anything more than his precious son! John and James left behind their father for Jesus immediately and Peter and Andrew their jobs and lifestyle and even Peter his wife! It takes a lot of soul searching!!. To love Jesus is truly deep love if we can love him above our family or friends!! But it's not just them it's money, entertainment or anything we put in our lives. We must strive to love Jesus more than anything we could ever love,
Congratulations, you have joined a cult ! Think about it. Asking you to love him more than your own children is exactly what a VERY HUMAN cult leader would do.
+Gordon Freeman No! Jesus demands your love. He who cannot take the cross and follow him cannot be His disciple. Also, we see Peter asking our Lord his.(Peter's) reward for leaving EVERYTHING for His sake! You have to leave the love of this world to love Him who redeemed you, the rest He'll take care of everything else.
I came here to understand this feeling I have in my heart over the thought of Jesus or the mention of his name that overwhelms me and got the answer...I will not shy away from loving him because I do🙏🏻
I lost my mum lately and I find comfort form the lord, I find its all I think of before anything else is that bad I love my family but I just want Jesus I want that time with him reading and praying write now I am hungry for the lord.
God bless this mans heart and the purity of His love for Jesus! I’m so inspired and realize the importance of having Jesus above all other things!! 🥰 God bless all those who are reading this in Jesus name Amen!
Amennnn!!! 🙏🏽💗 We love because God first loved us ❤️🔥 oh what a beautiful gift it is to be loved by God! His love is the most greatest treasure, the very best thing 🫶🏽
“I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth … I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you” (John 14:16-18). You never need to feel abandoned because Jesus promises to be right there with you; He will even be, through His Holy Spirit, in you.
Loving Jesus more than anyone else will cause you to be a better wife, mother, husband, father, sister, brother etc... The beautiful part is, you don't have to "try" to be better. Loving Him above all else, will make you a better person in every relationship by default. 💕
That was perfect. Happy I read that. 💕

I am FULL of gratitude & JOY, because God used this to call me closer to Him than I ever have been, and I've experienced Him for the 1st time in my life! I finally have a REAL authentic relationship with Him! ❤😭 After being connected to Him- all I want is YESHUA!

Thank you Lord, Jesus for being my light in darkness & for saving me from the mire. I'm forever changed! ❤😭
I agree sister in Christ Jesus. I believe Your daughter has been taken from you by your husband although I don't know if he was right or wrong. I think God used this situation to humble you. God would never take away your child. As God humbled me I believe this here is a good experience more than a mere bad one. Eventually you will get to see your daughter i think if you truly turn your life around for Your daughters sake not for your own but because you get to your privilege that husband and wife have mother and father for their children A female will never imitate anything close to a. Male nor a male to a female. So get down on your knees and pray to go forward but with your husband if possible and pray to God to unite with husband and daughter. Don't do nothing. Don't simply sit there and whine that's not what a christian does but when it does hurt we can find comfort and God sometimes in other things but God first and foremost amen? Amen.
Amen!! God does a much better job dealing with our sin than we do!! Wisdom!!
Thank you for sharing, Freya. Wishing you well, sister. How's it been going?
Amen! Keep going. Stay in the Word and commit your Ways to Him. Seek Him with all your heart. He loves you.
I CANNOT wait to hug Jesus like crazy!! I'm so loved and in love with my Lord. I'm so unworthy of His love that He lavishes. I'm so thankful for it. Glory to God forever. May the claim of foolishness and reproach be heaped upon me for the sake and love of Christ. I love you Jesus!
Stop, that's terrible
Brad Crampton God bless you, i know someone might have hurt you but its ok.
I want to be passionately in love with Jesus like you do. Im still in the process tho. I hope I can be like you soon. 💖
Andrew M how did u attain that feeling ? of love God so much
Soon, Andrew. You know what, I felt that way too when I prayed to Him it was as if talking to Him in prayer is getting old like "Lord, I wanna see you and know all about my questions when I was on earth and all my little curiosity abt life that only you knew." :) And also when things get kinda tricky in life and you just want Him to get you so you could experience His eternal peace and love and joy and praise His name forever and see His kingdom and that gold floor and walls the Bible talked abt and everything else that's incomparable to all the riches people keep on earth... The honor of being His child and btw, He's the King of kings and Lord of lords robed in majesty! Aaaah who among His children wouldn't be excited to exchange that for all the temporary happiness and life with punishments and consequences of sin, and disappointments, and pain, and war, and evil on Earth? My ultimate dream is the moment I die, He'll welcome me saying, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." So I pray we'll continue to live by His Word and grow more so we could follow Jesus. :)
Dear Jesus Christ, Please Be the center of my life... Please Help me Love You with all my Heart, Mind, and Soul.
1 thes. 5:23 the lord is sanctify us all the time! we just open and empty our entire being to Him to recieve Him as our life and even our person! Praise Jesus!
Amen and Amen.🙏
Amen~❤🤞🙏
amen
How can anyone NOT love Jesus Christ more than anyone after what He did for us?
tamitha20 a tiny gleam in our soul does but the flesh together with the love of the world, for self, our dreams and ambitions hates Jesus, it opposes God in every way it knows how. Only Gods unmerited grace and love will produce the fruits of the spirits in us to love and be zealous about Him.
If they have not heard of Him and if the do not understand the implications and relevance of His actions in their lives!
tamitha20 I can’t love Jesus more than my family what should I do? (Im really trying to but I just can’t).
Hi tamitha20. So many misfortunes happen in the lives of people all over the world.
Not everyone knows of Jesus and what He did on the cross.
Some people reckon that if God really does love them He would not let them go through the unbelievable and imaginable pains they experience. Some of these experiences leave people bitter.
tamitha20 if you didn’t ask him to do that, and now you owe your life to Him, why would you love that??
Let's be honest, it's easy to love and praise the Lord when life is peachy. The true test of your love is will you still trust and love Jesus when life is difficult and you don't understand.
❤
I think it's also hard to love God when life is too good. Bible says it's hard for a rich man to go to heaven.
It's best to be in the middle😂 not good, not too bad.
Jesus help me LOVE you
May the holy Spirit be with you
iChristianGurl I struggle with that too... I’ll be praying for you!
HAHAHAHAHAH!
me too Lord (Jesus Christ) GOD'S son sent into the world to redeeming me...
JESUS LOVES YOU LIKE NO ONE ELSE ✝️🔥
Beg Gods mercy , we cannot even love him without his help. Pray for a desire and love for him.
I love Jesus so much and want to hug him and never let him go, I want to make him happy by being obedient to him,he is my number one.
Where is jesus,? And why is he and God hiding?
amen to this i feel the same way hes so amazing so incredibly gracious to such undeserving people!
Agreed.. i want to hug him too. Also I'd like to suck on Jesus's big pecker.
I pray for all of you people in here. To find Jesus. He loves you come to him
Do you understand that only the father is God?
I've been a Christian for many years but this has been so eye-opening to me.
Same! 😭
This has consumed my mind completely
Jesus existed as a person, but Jesus the Messiah is a fictional figure posthumously glorified by anonymous hoaxer Christian writers making up fake miracles stories like resurrection, fake eyewitnesses, fake testimonials, and fake apostle stories. If Jesus had Godly powers, he would still be alive today living on earth. Resurrection & ascendance to heaven is a hoax that conveniently occurs in the past and easily fools the gullible folks.
@@AtamMardes I pray the Lord opens your eyes to the truth. I have seen miracles with my own two eyes. We dont just believe Jesus is the Messiah but we know for a fact that he is the Messiah. Every believer is given a unmerited gift of the Holy Spirt who guides us in all truth. If you want Jesus to reveal himself to you, seek him with a contrite heart and he will answer. God bless!
@@jesusislord9707 My friend, lifeforms needing to kill each other for meat is expected from an unplanned, unguided, mindless, & amoral evolutionary process, but is *NOT* expected from an omnipotent, mindful, & moral creator with intentions & an intelligent plan. You thank God for giving you life & also for giving life to the animals you eat. Don't see how the religion scam has fooled you to believe in an imaginary God by exploiting your hypocrisy, narcissism, ignorance, & arrogance? 🙏
@atam mardes You seem really angry at someone who you claim doesn’t exist. If everything was unguided as you state, then how are you objectively right vs my right to believe. Ask yourself, why do you care since with evolution, everything is all subjective. So whether someone believes in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, you have no bases of saying they are wrong. In the end we are both right, hence why evolution is so foolish.
God gives everyone the choice to love him or not to love him. What’s true love if someone doesn’t give you a choice. We also don’t follow religion. To be a Christian, one has to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus is alive as much as our parents are alive and we know for a fact he exist. He has shown he is reliable and true by fulling all of his promises to us from the scriptures. We see the works of his hand in our lives daily. He wants to have a relationship with you and it’s up to you whether you accept or reject him. The Bible says its “appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement”. Either this statement is true or false, but nonetheless we all will get to experience the truth after death. All Praises to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. God bless!
That's actually what I'm longing for- to truly receive Christ, realize how much He has forgiven me and how much He loves me, so that I can be transformed and have the fullness of His Spirit. I've been a worker in our church for a long time but it seems like a very difficult journey having no passion for Him. I think the passion for the Lord can only be obtained when we truly get to know Him, not only by head knowledge but also by heart, like grasping how much He loves us. This is what I've been praying for.
How are you doing now with that prayer and longing?
If this is true plz explain Exodus 15:3 and why every church has this wrong
@@harumanalphaessence3593 I don't understand your question in the context of the previous comments, but I will try to explain as best I can. God is a warrior in the sense that He takes vengeance on all His enemies. In His mercy, He has deemed in these latter times, to "wait" till judgment day to punish sin. He doesn't always wait, it is His prerogative how He judges us. And we know that whatever He chooses is the right way to exact this vengeance, and He is the only one who should exact this vengeance (Deuteronomy 32:35) . The only, and I mean ONLY, way to have peace with God and cease to be His enemy is through faith in the work of Jesus the Christ on the cross (Romans 5:1 along with many others). We all are God's enemy by nature and deserving of His wrath (Ephesians 2:3), so in His goodness, grace and mercy, He sent Jesus to be the atoning sacrifice, or propitiation, for our sins (1 John 4:10). God being a Warrior is just ONE aspect of His character. He is also filled with mercy for those who obey Him (Exodus 20:6), love (1 John 4:8), kindness, longsuffering and patience (Romans 2:4), and wants us to consider Him our Father and everything that relationship entails (Isaiah 64:8 along with many many others). I hope this answers your question, I'm sorry if it doesn't but like I said, I didn't understand your question in the context of the previous comments so I'm not quite sure as to what you're getting at.
Define a warrior. Is not a true warrior disciplined beyond other men? With more important judgement calls? Was not David Gods representative and a warrior King?
@@harumanalphaessence3593 I'm sorry friend but I still fail to see the relevance to the previous comments... What are you trying to get at?
hi i am a hindu ....i want to know about jesus....i feel connected to him....but i don't know from where to start......please help me
Is there a church near where you live?
yes there is..but i dont know what are church rules for instance when i go to hindu temple i have to remove shoes.....i am scared...
God's house is free for all just come as you are :)
Okay....i will go tomorrow. ....thanks
+Shweta Panchal yes God receives us just as we are. please take time to go to the Bible believing church, the master should be able to guide you. please let us know how it goes at the church.
What he said about the woman struck my heart so deeply. She wept at His feet and wash them with her hair because she was truly grateful for forgiving her. I forgot the goodness and mercy of God on my life because of religion. I remember God forgiving me of my sins and cleansing me from all unrighteousness, which leads to worshiping Him. Thank you, John for your hunger for God. I’m moved to tears...
Same thing has happened to me that I can't even cry anymore. #sigh praise God that you still have the sensitivity to cry.
I want to give Jesus ALL my love. Forevermore.
“Loving Jesus is deep and foundational and transformative”
Amen~🤞❤️🙏
Thank you Jesus for this message through John Piper.
Jesus is king
It is a Serious thing when we say I LOVE JESUS
Love is shown by our action not what say
Gary Churchill not necessarily bro
Jesus thought that farts were funny, my Man!
If you had been given up for adoption at birth & you happen to have been adopted by a Hindu family, you would now most likely be saying you love Krishna. Almost always, early childhood brainwashing determines the religion you brand yourself with.
@@AtamMardes It's not all like that.
What a magnanimous pastor! I’m so thankful for this godly man.
I'm an addict but trying to get my life sorted. And I'm new to this but I swear I can feel god loving me and it's a nice feeling.
I hope you still know that Jesus loves you deeply still and has a plan ❤
how are things going? He loves you man, if you are still struggling He will help you, just submit!
I love Jesus! He is the meaning and purpose of my life
Do you understand that only the father is God?

@@AtamMardes Do you still understand that Jesus existed in this earth?
I looked, the caracter you cited did not exist.
He is good.
Been trudging through a long season of feeling apathetic in my faith and an unwillingness to develop intimacy with Jesus. But as I started struggling with community and friendships, I found myself longing to desire God again. I hate that it takes a certain aspect of my life to suffer before I realize my NEED and WANT for Jesus... but I can't deny it and I can only pray that my desire to return to the arms of my Father will grow stronger day by day. This video showed up at the perfect time.
Community and friendship that flows from that desire will be the best way to keep you in the desire
I guess it's a good way to learn to leave some stuff to keep the faith
Need to pray for the people giving this message a thumbs down.., beautiful and true message.
I use to think, how can I love Jesus, love God, more than family... Now I know, after loving Him more, that He opened my heart in a way I do love family and others more than I was capable of before, God comes first, the rest comes from Him like a loving heart transplant now. God transforms, refines and changes your heart in love, where love becomes every thing. 🕊💗
Humans are humans, GOD IS GOD. The Father and the Son should be in the NUMBER 1 spot in our hearts.
Do you believe only the father is God?
Breno Santana
I believe the Father and the Son is one God.
@@paeng46 Why?
Breno Santana
“That *ALL* men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him”(John 5:23). Tell me honestly; what is your understanding about this statement by the Lord?
Here’s the logical flow of the text: if you worship God the Father as God, you do the same to the Son. If you deny the Son of the worship that is due only to God, then you are sinning against God. Do you see it? It is simply saying that whatever honor and worship you give to God, you give the same to the Son. That being said, it can only be true if the Son is God.
@@paeng46 Men should honour the son and the father.
The text uses the word honour, not worship. Read John 5 31.
I love my family more than anything, but I love Jesus before anything else, because he gave me all those beautiful things.
I am truly grateful for God's gifts he gave me, my woundful husband and children.
With out God I would have nothing, he is everything.
"If Jesus isnt a better treasure, a higher treasure--you are not worthy of Jesus" 5:23
I am overwhelmed with the immeasurable love that Jesus Christ shows us.
What a KING!!!
We all love him he is great he helps everyone he loves everybody he cares of every body he loves all of us
Worthy is the Lamb! We ascribe worth and give love to You, Lord!!
If you had a single partial more of love for Christ. Your body could no longer contain your spirit. And you would just be transfigured before our eyes. Man your passion comes right through my phone screen. Straight into my soul. God bless you brother. I look forward to long walks with you in paradise very soon. 🕊🌬🌹
Luke 10:40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”:41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed-or indeed only one.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Love the Lord! "
Thank you, Jesus. And thank you, John Piper.
It is difficult to understand why someone would dislike this video.
+kevin raju
People are cursed, man. Love hard.
:)
... Eph 3:19 - And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge....
It takes time to understand that kind of love.
Because Christian fundamentalists claim that they know the truth and don't have the intellectual honesty to admit that it's impossible to know if Jesus was really the Son of God. I understand that they have "faith", but that's the exact same method that people of completely different religions use to know that their religion is true. I'm agnostic because there's no way I can choose to believe in one supernatural myth over another supernatural myth.
+MatthewLedZepfan you don't really understand the concept of 'faith' since it is an old English word from Shakespearean times, meaning 'a trust based on evidence'
nowadays most folk think of 'faith' as some magical force they have to hype up from within themselves, but when Christians originally used that term they were talking about a belief in God based on all the evidences He has presented
so whenever a Christian tells you 'you have to have faith' or 'you just have to believe hard enough', they are in error and don't understand the very Gospel that Christ has presented to mankind - a 'good news' that God has become a man, in order to save men; evidencing His great love for the lost in dying on their behalf, and evidencing His authority and power by resurrecting
if you truly concern yourself with such matters, i suggest you look into the evidence for the resurrection to see why we put our trust in Jesus
+MatthewLedZepfan Here's the thing Matthew: True Christians believe because they KNOW God is real, because they have felt Him and have His spirit inside them. It is very hard to explain...but we don't just believe, we know...and I wouldn't trade that wonderful love for anything. I would die before I denounce my Father. I pray that you find Him too.
“Being worthy of Jesus does not mean deserving Jesus, it means being suitable for His presence.” 🙌🏻
In his presence there is fullness of joy
I love brother Piper. I am so blessed by him. Blessed be the name of our Lord and God! Name above every name, JESUS!
Amen. We need to learn how to love Him in the way He want us to love Him.
+Carolina Neira couldn't agree more
so you need to love him only because he said so, unlike me how you love your parents because of their actions and dedication to you.
That's not the way He want us to love Him. He express in the Gospel the right way, reflected in Jesus. How Jesus love God? That's the answer.
+Carolina Neira: I like to say that our love is insufficient to honor our creator, not only because He created us, but also because He loved us so much He was willing to humiliate Himself and die a much worse death than we can imagine. So, what do we do if our love is insufficient? We borrow from God's love, which is enough for all things. Because God loved us so much, we should be able to rely on Him and love each other not just with our love, but from the overflow of what God has done for us.
Amen... We can show God our love in so many ways. In Jesus is the perfect love.
We must be willing to give up it all for Jesus like Peter his wife and job and Andrew his job and James and John their families. John Piper brings up a valid point of what Jesus' says. A parents love for a child is so strong. They would do anything to save their child to keep their child and to love them so deeply. Even Abraham loved the LORD so much he took up his beloved son he waited for into such an old age. Do we really love Jesus more than our deep love for family or friends or even idols in our lives like entertainment or our job? We know at least 4 of Jesus' disciples gave up everything immediately to follow Jesus. Our love for Jesus should be so powerful we would forfeit our children we cherish and even our jobs and livelihoods if we loved him! We need to soul search and see where our hearts lie. It's very tough to love someone we can't see.
Very true Sir and I am happy for you that you understand this. May God grant you both this depth of love and the peace to enjoy what God is pleased to give you in Jesus name. Amen.
True brother
This man is completely in love with Jesus
Brother Piper, you have blessed me so many times. I don’t expect we will ever be face to face in this world, but when we reach the next world, I hope to give you a big hug. Thank you!
Absolutely…the greatest feast for we the Ekklesia is with Him at the banquet table of His overwhelming GRACE, MERCY, and LOVE. King Savior Jesus is our eternal HOPE and PEACE. AMEN. ✝️🙏🔥📖❤️
It is hard to fathom with our limited mind the greatness of the almighty God and his love and mercy to us not for our sake for we are but dusts but for His glory...only God could give us the will to love Him with all our heart mind and soul which I pray for all of us who believes.All glory to God in the highest heaven Who is forevermore! Amen.
Praise be to the most high god this video is amazing after watching it and read luke 7 37-50 i fell on my face i felt the love for my saviour so much my debt was great but he has forgiven it all thank you Jesus my saviour! I hope everyone can feel his great love i have it is the best feeling ever!!
Michael Cowan amen brother
Your in the dessert. He will finish the good work that He started. Been there. God Bless!
classyt20f7. We are children of a beloved Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ Himself who died for our sins so we could live, I am asking you classy to just live, and living starts with being newborn in Christ... He has his arms wide opened ALWAYS, one thought of yours about His Love makes a difference, you gotta begin somewhere, and when He hears your beatiful heart speaking to Him again heavens will rejoice and His cheeks shall go all blunty ❤️❤️❤️so run to Him. Lay down and put your hand on your beating heart breathe deeply and expirience His presence, tell Him Jesus Im yours, I will follow you, I beg you to stand before your cross,Lord pour your spirit on me. Amen. Hallelujah 🙌. This is only the beggining but I am so excited when somebody seeks God😂 Gloooryyy🙃
Michael Cowan no this video is disgusting
Gavin, I pray that your heart will be changed by God, and that you'll realize how deserving Jesus is for all our love and awe and reverence, he died on the cross for all and that includes you.
Jesus is God in the flesh when we love him to the best of our ability we are loving God we can do nothing without JESUS CHRIST because we are a wreck without Him and there is no life in us without Him even when we fall short of his glory he lifts us up not because we deserve it but because He is Love
I will love Jesus more than I love anything else! ❤
I really appreciate how Dr. Piper delivers his sermons. I don’t feel that I’m being yelled at and condemned-He’s relatable and true to scripture. Thank you.
The love I have for my 9 year old son is bringing me to Christ. Can’t explain it but I’m more aware of God because of this deep love I have for my boy.
I’m sorry I sound crazy I just wanna fully love Jesus but I feel like I maybe putting more loving him than the Father and I know they are both one. I’m sorry I have OCD and it’s hard for me just to relax please pray for me God is my number one love I just wanna think of Jesus nonstop
Don't worry, brother, the Father and the Holy Spirit know it all and they love you eternally! I'll pray for you too. Blessings
You are not alone.. i feel the same
I had OCD once. God let it get too much for me because I wasn’t listening to Him when He repeatedly gave me signs to give it over to Him. If God can do it for me, He can do it for you, too. I will be Praying. God has got you and He loves you ❤️
I feel similar bro i feel for you bro
Hi Eric. I raised this question with my pastor about how sometimes it seems to me that God the Father takes a 'backseat' in my focus on Jesus. He encouraged me in the fact that Jesus has come to reveal the Father. He said, if you have seen me, you have seen the Father. As Jesus said, if you love God the Father, you will love me. (If you love Jesus, you love the Father also). Hope that is helpful
Jesus be the center of my heart. Amen ❤️
there's not a thing in this world worth more than the love of God in Jesus Christ...
God bless you John Piper thanks amazing mentor for this message about loving Jesus ✝️👑🤍🙏💟💟💟i love him more than anything!!
knowledge puffs up, LOVE builds up. Thank you for this word because I desperately needed it. I pray we as Christians Learn how to love people the way God loves us. I proclaim that whatever illnesses and heartbreaks and spirtual wickedness be shattered. God's love is more than able to deliver. more than able to conquer these strong holds in my life and in yours. let it be done by the blood. In Jesus name, Amen.
Christians love people like god does. If somebody does not believe this ridiculous propaganda, they are ostracized.
Carla Linton. I love Jesus Christ More than any thing else.
Jesus christ is king
God help me to be humble and love Him more than anything. Please pray for me.
Amen. I will pray for your soul to steer clear of temptation. The devil is trying harder than ever to get our souls because the time of judgment is near.
My heart is overbursting with love for Jesus, He is my all and all, my everything, He is the LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!!💜💜💜💜💖💖💖💖👑👑👑👑
needed that this morning. twelve minutes of talking about my Jesus and how wonderful he is.
Lord awaken love within me so I can love you and others in Jesus name Amen. Deliver me from evil!
Help me God! To love you more than anything!
Amen and the truth can be said about why we love, because he first loved us (1st john 4:19)...
Amen!

Any comment on John Piper accepting the sell out Rick Warren?
Keith Thompson NEVER! It's all propaganda

1 John 5:3
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”
Amen
I really got revelation by this message...Thank you Lord Jesus...
Is Jesus the Lord, God? No christian can produce a single biblical verse where Jesus, in his own words, says I'm God. Anyone can claim to be God, however, people of understanding know how to validate or invalidate such a claim. This is because God has qualities that no other being has. One of these qualities is " All-knowing". Any being who is not all-knowing can't be God. The Bible says " The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to find out if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs. ( Mark 11: 12-13 ). If Jesus is God, All-knowing, how come he didn't know the fig tree had no fruits on it? And why would an All-knowing being want to "find out" anything? Evidently, Jesus was not all-knowing, and therefore, he is not God. False hope is no substitute for the truth.
AMEN AMEN A.M.E.N !!
John Piper is awesome. God does great things through him.
I am grateful for John Piper and this ministry.
This is great sermon by a great pastor. It raises a good point and one which I needed to understand better. When I think of my sin and his death and suffering on the cross, I always tear up and have to fight the tears back. Mary washing Jesus's feet made me tear up again, because I know that I am a sinner too, who Desparately wants and genuinely seeks forgiveness from Christ for my many sins.
Awesome video!! Agree with Kevin Raju, why someone would ever dislike this???Great Man of God, who shares from the heart! God Bless You, John!
+SQUAREHEAD64 I often wonder that too. It seems that many think their ministry is to go around with a doctrinal checklist and make sure everyone is holding to it. Or they are evangelical anti-theists who enjoy bothering believers. In both cases, I have learned they are best ignored.
Beautifully explained! I pray that all God's Children Know God like this man and I do! God above All, In Christ Alone!
Great message I love Jesus so much my whole life changed in a great way after I gave Him my heart.
Jesus died for our sins.. Thank You Jesus for shedding Your Blood so we can be saved...I love You Jesus..Amen...4/23/2022.
Amen, thank you Jesus 4 loving me, 💐🙏
I love Christ, will always love him more than anything else, will always do
This is all i need. I love you Jesus.
Thank you Jesus for loving us and helping us learn to love you back. Your kindness can never be repaid in full.
If you had been given up for adoption at birth & you happen to have been adopted by a Hindu family, you would now most likely be saying thank you Krishna. Almost always, early childhood brainwashing determines the religion you brand yourself with.
Dear FATHER, help me love you more, be the center of everything l do and may my life be that which brings Your Glory to your name. May l make up to getting to know you more and more of you and may my everyday Last page before l sleep be filled with your goodness JESUS, I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME EVEN WHEN I FELT UNWORTHY OF YOUR LOVE 🙏

One of the most powerful messages I ever heard in my life! Praise the Lord for you dear John and your ministry!
Lord Jesus take this empty vessel and fill me to overflowing with a love worthy for you.
It’s also not always a deep overwhelming emotion. But that knowing is so helpful, especially in times where we learn that faith is not a feeling, but a fact
Yes. I am so overwhelmed with love of Jesus. I get all emotional all the time when I think of him. Can’t wait to be in his presence very very very soon. Time is up looking up and going up. Amen hallelujah
Have you accepted the prophet Muhammad?
Amazing how The Holy Spirit speaks through this Pastor.
An absolutely spectacular sermon on such a vital topic. Loving Christ and having Christ, what could be more important?
Pauline Puritan Being a decent human being, for example.
He brings a valid point comparing a strong love for our family to what Jesus said about us not being worthy of Jesus if we love them more. Can we really love Jesus more than our beloved family? Lose them for Jesus' sake? Sacrifice our family for Jesus' sake? Abraham was tested by sacrificing his son, because he loved THE LORD more than anything more than his precious son! John and James left behind their father for Jesus immediately and Peter and Andrew their jobs and lifestyle and even Peter his wife! It takes a lot of soul searching!!. To love Jesus is truly deep love if we can love him above our family or friends!! But it's not just them it's money, entertainment or anything we put in our lives. We must strive to love Jesus more than anything we could ever love,
Congratulations, you have joined a cult !
Think about it. Asking you to love him more than your own children is exactly what a VERY HUMAN cult leader would do.
+Gordon Freeman No! Jesus demands your love. He who cannot take the cross and follow him cannot be His disciple. Also, we see Peter asking our Lord his.(Peter's) reward for leaving EVERYTHING for His sake! You have to leave the love of this world to love Him who redeemed you, the rest He'll take care of everything else.
I came here to understand this feeling I have in my heart over the thought of Jesus or the mention of his name that overwhelms me and got the answer...I will not shy away from loving him because I do🙏🏻
I lost my mum lately and I find comfort form the lord, I find its all I think of before anything else is that bad I love my family but I just want Jesus I want that time with him reading and praying write now I am hungry for the lord.
I cannot understand why someone is disliking this kind of video. This is about God, remember?
Thank you again Pastor John. I love you. But I love Jesus more tho. I would die for him.
amen
Thank- you, Pastor John. I do love Jesus, but why is it when I speak of him I usually start to cry? I do feel great when I speak of our savor Jesus.

“I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth … I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you” (John 14:16-18). You never need to feel abandoned because Jesus promises to be right there with you; He will even be, through His Holy Spirit, in you.
"If Jesus Isnt a Better treasure, a higher treasure, you're not worthy of Jesus...."
Every time I watch I feel like it renews my strength to continue in Jesus!❤🥰
