Javin Mirabella of Immerse Ministries shares a challenging message about what it truly means to love and follow Jesus. Drawing from John 14–15, Matthew 22, Luke 6, and other passages, Javin explains that Jesus defines our love for Him through obedience to His teachings—not simply through belief, emotion, or good intentions.
Through stories from international missions, local evangelism in Hernando County, and his own experience facing severe illness and paralysis, Javin emphasizes that Jesus is worthy of every sacrifice and complete surrender. He challenges believers to examine whether they are loving Jesus the way He desires to be loved: loving God with all their heart, soul, and mind; loving their neighbors; loving one another; denying themselves and taking up their cross; and making disciples.
Ultimately, following Jesus means more than believing in Him—it means building our lives upon His words and putting them into practice. Because of what Christ has already accomplished through the cross, believers are called to surrender fully, obey faithfully, share the Gospel boldly, and live in a way that demonstrates their love for Him to the world around them.
