LOVE:
HUMBLY SACRIFICE
POINTING PEOPLE TO CHRIST!
APPLICATION
1. I must get past the concept that I must fight
for and defend my rights seeking rather to love
others sacrificially.
2. I must allow the needs of others to impact
how I live—the greatest need of a person is
their salvation.
3. Love is a way of life—not a one-time event.
APPLICATION
4. The greatest testimony to the lost world
around us is to love them with God’s love! It is
not about loving them by agreeing or joining
but loving them by living a life that points to
the love of God.
5. I must recognize my inadequacy to love and
depend upon God’s grace to be driven by His
love for me.
