My Pastor at our church and some of the congregation members show me how to recieve God's love, but what about Jesus, I want his love in me too? Isn't it sorta like cheating on God if I'm in love with Jesus at the same time?
Could some one tell me a Bible passage that can clear up this confusion for me?
God Bless you!!

God wants Jesus to do a test run on all of his lovers, so he makes it so you have to go through Jesus first- he gives you the stamp of approval... and the promotion. Its worth the soreness.

Jesus Is God, Understand the Trinity, God, The Son and the Holy Spirit are three distinct individules and one God, the three who are one and the one who is three.
go to this link:
http://www.carm.org/doctrine/trinity.htm
God is a trinity of persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is not the same person as the Son; the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit is not the same person as Father. They are not three gods and not three beings. They are three distinct persons; yet, they are all the one God. Each has a will, can speak, can love, etc., and these are demonstrations of personhood. They are in absolute perfect harmony consisting of one substance. They are coeternal, coequal, and copowerful. If any one of the three were removed, there would be no God. (See also, "Another Look at the Trinity")
Jesus, the Son, is one person with two natures: Divine and Human. This is called the Hypostatic Union. The Holy Spirit is also divine in nature and is self aware, the third person of the Trinity.
There is, though, an apparent separation of some functions among the members of the Godhead. For example, the Father chooses who will be saved (Eph. 1:4); the Son redeems them (Eph. 1:7); and the Holy Spirit seals them, (Eph. 1:13).
A further point of clarification is that God is not one person, the Father, with Jesus as a creation and the Holy Spirit is a force (Jehovah's Witnesses). Neither is He one person who took three consecutive forms, i.e., the Father, became the Son, who became the Holy Spirit. Nor is God the divine nature of the Son (where Jesus had a human nature perceived as the Son and a divine nature perceived as the Father (Oneness theology). Nor is the Trinity an office held by three separate Gods (Mormonism).
The word "person" is used to describe the three members of the Godhead because the word "person" is appropriate. A person is self aware, can speak, love, hate, say "you," "yours," "me," "mine," etc. Each of the three persons in the Trinity demonstrate these qualities.
The chart below should help you to see how the doctrine of the Trinity is systematically derived from Scripture. The list is not exhaustive, only illustrative.
The first step is to establish the biblical doctrine that there is only one God. Then, you find that each of the persons is called God, each creates, each was involved in Jesus' resurrection, each indwells, etc. Therefore, God is one, but the one God is in three simultaneous persons. Please note that the idea of a composite unity is not a foreign concept to the Bible; after all, man and wife are said to be one flesh. The idea of a composite unity of persons is spoken of by God in Genesis (Gen. 2:24).

God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are all one. The Trinity is a very hard concept to understand. Kind of like water in it's 3 forms. Vapor, liquid and ice. Same components-different forms. Three in one and one in three. So by loving Jesus you are loving God.

John 1:1 - in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.
Jesus is the word. His love is seen in His willingness to go to the cross for you. Watch The Passion if you can. If you don't feel His love in that, I don't know if you ever could. I found it to be horrifying, but amazing at the same time. He willingly let Himself be put through all that for you! Because He loves you!

if u accept gods love then you are accepting jesus as well because jesus was just the human form of God so they are the same person. But to have eternal life and live with our father youve got to accept that jesus died for us and ask him into your heart. I think that if u love god then u are also loving jesus because they are the same person. Remeber no matter what u do Jesus loves u

When you receive God's love, that is the Holy Spirit, coming to you, and making God's love experiential to you (but we often have to walk by faith and can't sense God's presence).
Since the Holy Spirit is God, he brings Jesus to you, since they have the same character. We are to address our prayers to Jesus and God the Father. When we read the scriptures we can ask the Holy Spirit, sent to guide us, to help you understand.
John 14/15/16 - Jesus sends his Holy spirit to us since He is leaving.
John 14:15-21
John 16:12-16

God and Jesus are one person so if you love one that's mean you love both.
