The Greatest of These

Love - A feeling of deep affection. A central theme in Scripture and Christian theology and ethics. Defines our relationship with God and dictates how we should treat others.

1 Corinthians 13:13

1 John 4:12

I think we graduate to love, before we can drill down into the bedrock of really loving Jesus we have to hope in Him and then we put faith in Him and then when He doesn’t disappoint those two things we fall in love with Him.

You’re learning that Jesus will always be there and you’re really starting to fall in love with Him.

~ Love is hard.

Luke 6:32-35

Jesus said father forgive them… Because love is hard.

This year put effort into loving them and quit putting in effort to see every flaw and just love them.

~ Love is a must

1 Peter 4:7-8

We have to mature past seeing the flaws and mistakes in people and still being able to love them.

If we’re not careful we are developing a habit of giving love lip service.

~ Love makes a difference

John 3:16

Practical pointers that will help you in your mindset of loving everybody:

Stop saying all the negative junk, stop bringing it up, stop looking for it. Stop focusing on it. Even if you’re right.

Ephesians 4:29

Matthew 10:16
