The depth of our hope, joy, and faith becomes stronger when we embrace God’s love. When we strive to be rooted and grounded in His love, our lives will reflect all we have received. John, through the Holy Spirit, tells us to look at the love that God has given us in making us His own children.
How to be Rooted and Grounded in His Love

Being made brand new, we find ourselves in new territory and wanting a newness of life in Christ. For our old way of life no longer is pleasing to us. Now the true battle begins on the inside as we journey towards working out our salvation.
What is the Newness of Life?
The newness of life means living a sanctified life before God.
As we move away from our old way of thinking, doing and being, our flesh will be hostile against the righteous desires of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16-17). Our flesh does not want to be sanctified. Therefore, remember, our battle is not against other people in and of itself. It is a battle of separating from sin as we move toward our future glorified body in Christ forever.
2 Corinthians 5:17 NASB1995 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

As children of God, Jesus Christ is our spring of eternal life (John 4:14). He is our bread of life, Who came down from heaven (John 6:35). Faith in Jesus Christ delivers us out of the darkness and into the Light…

There are times in our lives when God’s love seems to be absent. We might be suffering under a hardship, and it seems as if God is nowhere to be found. Has God forgotten all about us? No.
Hard times will come to each and everyone of us. Our hardships may look different on the outside but they stir the same emotions on the inside. Peter, through the Holy Spirit, tells us not to be surprised when afflictions or “fiery trial” comes our way. But most of the time we are surprised, …

And yet theisrael-and-new-jersey opposition against the Jews having their own land prompts the call for their annihilation regularly. Why? Is Israel really just another piece of land?
The Importance Of Israel
Israel is important because Israel is important to God. God chose Israel for Himself and His purpose. The promises God gave Israel would be fulfilled. This makes the hatred and violence against the nation of Israel and the Jewish people, in reality, a war against the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
