Love in Our Hearts

The glory of God filled the sanctuary. The priests retreated from their places of ministry. King Solomon dedicated the new temple with a display of God’s approval. Then Solomon offered this prayer. “May the Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; may He not leave us or forsake us, that He may incline our hearts to Himself” (1 Kings 8:57-58).

Jesus Christ answers Solomon’s prayer. First, the great Christian confession is simple. “Jesus is Lord” (Romans 10:9). Second, Jesus came into the world to be God with us. “‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,’ which translated means, ‘God with us’” (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23).

Third, after His death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven to sit on the throne of God, Christ pours out His Holy Spirit “that He may incline our hearts to Himself.” The Holy Spirit gives us what we need, a whole new disposition and attitude of heart. He pours God’s love into our hearts (Romans 5:5).

This love, produced by the Sprit, is a new inclination of heart. We experience the power and presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. We freely embrace the good things of God. We freely serve others. “Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power” (Psalm 110:3).
