The First Step to Intimacy

What does it truly mean to love Jesus—not just in word, but in deed? In this foundational message from To Know Jesus Is to Love Him, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the superficial love so common in our day and calls believers to a deeper, more intimate relationship with the risen Christ. Drawing from Philippians 3:8 and Ephesians 3:18, Dr. Youssef urges us to reject complacency and pursue Christ with unrelenting devotion. True love for Jesus means surrendering all—status, ambition, even ministry itself—at the foot of the Cross. In a world where the love of many grows cold, now is the time to repent, press in, and cry out for a transformative love that endures through every trial, fueled by the Holy Spirit and grounded in the inerrant Word of God.
