UNFAILING LOVE

UNFAILING LOVE
1 CORINTHIANS 13:8
FOCAL POINT: TO UNDERSTAND THE TRUE MEANING OF TRUE LOVE.

INTRODUCTION:

THIS CHAPTER IS COMMONLY CALLED THE LOVE CHAPTER. I BELIEVE THE ENTIRE BIBLE IS AN EXPRESSION OF LOVE. IT IS AN UNFOLDING DRAMA-REVELATION OF REDEMPTION OF A FALLEN WORLD THROUGH THE PERSON, WORK AND CHARACTER OF JESUS CHRIST.

WHAT IS YOUR THINKING ON TRUE LOVE? IS YOUR LOVE SOMETHING BESIDES WHAT THE WORD TEACHES? IS YOUR LOVE A BIBLICAL LOVE?

LOVING THE UNLOVELY:

READ JOHN 3: 16-17 GOD “SO” LOVED IS A DECLARATION OF HOW MUCH HE LOVED US. HIS EXPRESSION AND REALITY OF THAT LOVE CAME AT CALVARY BY THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS CHRIST.

ROMANS 5:5 (NASB) “AND HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT, BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD HAS BEEN POURED OUT WITHIN OUR HEARTS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WAS GIVEN TO US” THAT IS TRUE LOVE!

REF: 1 JOHN 4:

THOUGHTS ON UNFAILING LOVE:

CAN YOU CALL YOUR LOVE A LOVE THAT NEVER CEASES OR FAILS?

DO YOU LOVE OTHERS BECAUSE THEY LOVE YOU BACK AND THAT IS WHAT YOU ANTICIPATE? THAT IS EASY LOVE. DO YOU LOVE OTHERS KNOWING THAT THEY MIGHT NOT LOVE YOU BACK? THE EXPRESSED LOVE OF GOD IS THROUGH HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST.

TRUE LOVE LOVES IN SPITE OF DISAPPOINTMENTS, FAILURES, REVERSALS, ABANDONMENT, SORROW AND GRIEF.

TRUE LOVE IS ALWAYS PERMANENT AND FOREVER.

THE VARIOUS GIFTS WILL BECOME UNNECESSARY IN THE LIGHT OF GOD’S TOTAL LOVE IN HIS KINGDOM.

TRUE LOVE FINDS EXPRESSION IN TRUE SERVICE.

MATURITY AND CHARACTER DRIVE TRUE LOVE.

TRUE LOVE PUTS ETERNITY INTO YOUR LIFE AND YOU DESIRE THAT LOVE FOR OTHERS.

CONCLUSION:

TRUE, UNFAILING LOVE IS DEFINED AND EXPRESSED IN HIS W-O-R-D. IN THAT, YOU CAN FIND SAFETY.
