There’s more love in God for you, than there is sin in you!
John 3:16-17
Principle #1: God is love.
- Love isn’t God’s behavior, its His very nature (I John 4:8, 16)
- It’s who He is, not simply what He does.
- His love for you is pure, complete, eternal and unconditional.
- Pure: without ulterior motives
- Complete: it’s all we need
- Eternal: it doesn’t end
- Unconditional: without conditions, performance or works
- The greatest commandment? To love God with all that you are. (Mark 12:29-31)
- What’s the goal of loving? To be loved back.
- My primary objective for my kids and my wife is that they would love me back.
- Obedience motivated by love is reverence.
- Obedience motivated by fear is compliance.
- Love produces relationships, obedience doesn’t.
- Love cannot be measured nor verified in the absence of freedom.
- God fiercely defends and promotes freedom.
- It’s not about obeying rules.
- This is a very difficult principle for some people to get and follow.
- Love unexpressed is love not received.
- Love expressed but not returned is rejection.
- One reason we reject God’s love is that we feel unworthy of it and that we’re not good enough.
- We say that God loves us, but we don’t live like we believe it.
- What would you’re life look like if you lived in God’s love all the time.
- Are my decisions ruled by laws, rules and commandments or are they ruled by relationship and love?
