Intro:
Do you love God?
Matthew 22:34–36 (ESV)
34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.
35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him.

What is genuine love?
Major theme: Genuine love
Everything that follows is an expression of that theme.
First, a general statement: abhor vs. hold fast & evil (πονηρός- morally wrong; other words in greek = prostitute our word pronagraphy) vs. good.

vs. 12 all three statements flow and the all show trust or faith in God
contribute = physical needs and hospitality = life giving.
Dealing with People inside and outside the Church.
Persecution can come from both places
Rejoicing, weeping, etc. is winsome
1 Cor.
12:26
Unity is broken by pride.
Pride is broken by humility.
Humility sees people not status and never sees self wisdom.
“evil” = injurious, dangerous
play on words κακός (evil) vs. καλός (beautiful, good, honorable)
Dealing with vengence
Deut.
32:35
Proverbs 25:21-22 The coals could mean one of two things: guilt or blessing of fire in a practical way.
Ends as started.
First he said abhor evil cling to good.
Now he ends by saying don’t be overcome with evil but overcome evil with good.
Conclusion:
All of these qualities are seen in the Lord’s life.
And it is his life that we want to be seen in us!
