“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.” (James 3:17-18)
Main thoughts: I. Love is REVEALED by God’s INITIATIVE in Jesus. II. Love is REALIZED by the SACRIFICE of Jesus. III. Love is RECEIVED by BELIEVING in Jesus. IV. Love is RECIPROCATED by OBEDIENCE to Jesus.
Summary: Love is known by the grace of the FATHER in sending the SPIRIT to disclose the work of the SON. · Do you recognize that only God’s work can save you? · Do you realize why God sent his Son to die on the cross? · Have you trusted Jesus for your eternal salvation? · Does your life reflect the truth of what God has done?
