Reciprocal Love for God • “Reciprocal Love for God (R.B. Thieme, Jr.) is the highest form of human love that can ever exist, a system of thinking beyond any human attraction, sentimentality, or emotion. Such love reflects the worship, respect, awe, deference, and enduring devotion that the mature believer possesses for God the Father, the Author of the divine plan; for God the Son, the Savior who accomplished the plan; and for God the Holy Spirit, who empowers the plan in the life of the believer.” 2-11-07
Reciprocal Love for God • “In short, this doctrine defines the love relationship between God and the believer through the agency of the Holy Spirit.At the moment of salvation by faith alone in Christ alone, you become the recipient of Godユs personal love. He imputes His own righteousness and eternal life to you. He provides you with the solution to postsalvation sin in rebound [Recovery].” 2-11-07
Reciprocal Love for God • “He gives you the unique spiritual life of all human history. He provides Bible doctrine for momentum in your spiritual life. He disciplines you to correct your course. His love pursues you all the days of your life.The personal love of God becomes your point of reference for the spiritual life. When you get to know God through Bible doctrine, you respond with respect for Him.” 2-11-07
Reciprocal Love for God • “When you respect Him, you accept His Word as your authority and guide. When you accept His authority, you obey His mandates. Now, you are growing in grace. You are gaining the capacity and means to truly love God. Reciprocal love for God is your response to the unfailing love of God.” 2-11-07
Reciprocal Love for God • “In reciprocity you have true motivation to continue learning Bible doctrine so that you can advance to spiritual maturity. Only in the status of spiritual maturity can you share the happiness of God, be occupied with the Person of Christ, and glorify God to the maximum.” (For audio lessons from Col. Thieme, see Series No. 376, Spiritual Dynamics, lessons 1744-1792) 2-11-07
