Every single one of us has an innate need to know that we're loved, and yet so many of us go too many days, wondering or unsure of the love our Heavenly Father has for us.

Today, as we continue our week on living for heaven, we're going to dive into our need to be loved and to love others deeply

in order to be successful in this pursuit toward heaven. God doesn't want you to go even one day

without knowing how truly loved you are. Welcome to the first of teen podcast. Our verse for today comes from John 15, verse 9.

Scripture says,

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

Abide in my love.

We belong to a kingdom built not by the blood, sweat, and tears of servants,

but by the wounds and scars of a loving and sacrificial

king.

As disciples of Jesus, we've been granted access into a lifetime of giving and receiving

unconditional love.

Our Savior willingly laid down His life that we might know the love of our Heavenly Father throughout this

life in all eternity.

John 15 9 through 13 says, As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

Abide in my love.

If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love. Just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my father's

commandments and abide in his love. These things I've spoken to you, that my joy may be in you,

and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone

lay down his life for his friends. To live for heaven is to abide in a lifetime of constant

and tangible love from the Father so that we might live healed and be able to pour out genuine love to others.
