Doing Flows from Being
The Bible commands good behavior BUT good behavior flows from good character (Matthew 7:17). Doing flows from being—keeping this order is very important IF you want to understand the gospel well AND deepen in your love/pursuit of Jesus.
Affection Breeds Activity
As we abide and understand the love of God poured out in the gospel of Jesus our affections we’ll increase and we’ll exude God’s love.
Citizens of the Kingdom Reflect the King’s Love
The love we’re called to exude is a love that does patience, kindness and doesn’t do boasting or envy and doesn’t do arrogance.
Love In Action
Our Christian culture has been caught “on their heels” with regards to the issue of love.
We’ve not loved well. Loving others (Christians & non-Christians) is hard, inconvenient, and a pressing task and yet Jesus said people will know we’re His followers by the love we show.
Christians typically think love is a feeling and/or attitude BUT love is love when it is manifested in action.
