God’s Love vs Our Love

Some people anchor their security on their Love for God. But God desires that we have feed our assurance on His Love for us through faith in the blood that was shed on the cross.

The message that the bible brings forth is that "we love because God first loved us", not because "we loved so much and so God loves us back". Love for God can only be produced through encountering God’s divine love and grace - just as it has been said, "He who has been forgiven much, loves much". Self-Motivated Love for God can never produce the transformation God so desires in us.

God does not desire a generation of sold-out martyrs, he desires children who knows fully that they are well taken care of in His plans – only then, will we be able to walk in stillness before Him.

The other name for Security in our own love for God is called "Self-Righteousness" or "Confidence in the flesh". The Bible preaches "Righteousness by Faith and Salvation by Grace". All these happened while we were still weak to overcome sin and loved God not.
