How To Develop A Passion For Jesus
How do you develop a real passion for Jesus Christ? In this teaching, Bill Wiese explains that true love for Jesus grows through spending time in God’s Word, understanding His character, and living in obedience to His commandments. Using real-life examples about relationships, priorities, and misguided passions, this message shows how believers can move from emotional faith to biblical, obedient faith.
Scriptures including John 14:15, Romans 5:8, and 1 Corinthians 15 reveal Jesus’ sacrifice, resurrection, and love for humanity. Learn why obedience proves love for Christ, how to make Jesus your number one priority, and how sharing the gospel pleases God. This teaching challenges believers to examine whether God is truly first in their lives and encourages spiritual growth through prayer, Bible study, and surrender to God’s will.
If you want to strengthen your faith, understand God’s love, and develop a deeper relationship with Jesus, this message will help you grow in passion, purpose, and eternal perspective. For more information go to: soulchoiceministries.org/teachings/how-to-develop-a-passion-for-jesus
